((Ensign Kel’s Quarters - Compartment 11, Sector 3, Deck 5, USS Artemis-A))
Kel: Thank you lieutenant. I….I appreciate all your help. It means a lot. I know it might not seem like much but trust me, it is.
His gratitude seemed to catch Gila off-guard, causing her to shuffle slightly.
Sadar: Oh, uhh... Y-You’re welcome, Ensign. ::clears throat:: W-Well, I’ll, uhh. ::turns about towards the door, before thinking the better of it.:: And Ensign? ::looks back:: Make sure to stop by Sickbay. Doctor’s orders.
And with that, the lieutenant turned around and stepped back through the doorway, leaving Solas to stare back out into the empty void of space.
He considered his options for a moment, then reached up and tapped his commbadge. He hesitated when he heard the little *click* that let him know the line was active.
Kel: =/\= This is Ensign Kel Solas to Commander Genkos Adea in sickbay. I would like to request a return to duty physical and mental evaluation before picking up some duty shifts. At your earliest convenience of course, sir. =/\=
Adea: Response
Solas considered the Commander’s response, fidgeting a little and cracking his knuckles as he listened to his Commander’s response.
Kel: =/\= No sir, it doesn’t have to be today. But I would prefer not to wait until after shore leave before I start working again. After the events of the…. incident, I would prefer to start doing something productive as soon as possible. =/\=
Adea: Response
Solas nodded and twiddled his thumbs, a very human behavior that nonetheless helped settle some of his nerves a bit, which he was afraid had etched into his voice.
Solas: =/\=Yes sir, thank you sir. =/\=
Adea: Response
