Caldwell: Look, seriously, I appreciate what you're trying to do and I know it's your job, but I'm ok, honest and besides I'm not sure here and now is the best place for this sort of thing.
Caldwell: Look you all found excuses to leave, no-one is chasing you down through the ship to find out what's going on. I really don't mind who makes what decisions about this roleplay stuff, if we're going to do it, let's just do it, there's no point asking me about things I know nothing about, I'll defer to the experts. ::Raising a hand to pause any further comments:: Mystery solved. Crisis averted. This ::waving his hands to dramatically encompass the group:: manhunt is probably a little over the top.

Saa: …I’m not on duty. ::widening her arms to demonstrate her out of uniform flowy romper:: I may be a doctor… and a training Counselor, but I followed after you in genuine concern during my free time because I was worried, not just because it’s my job. ::She paused:: You may be right if you want to talk professionally, it isn’t the time and place.
He sighed, unsure of what to say next, he was mindful that he didn't want to offend the doctor but he was uncomfortable with the idea of having the conversation, regardless of the venue.
Caldwell: I... appreciate... what you are saying... I appreciate your concern.
Saa: Listen, Chris-
Tasen/Matthews: Responses
Saa: If you are uncomfortable talking to me… maybe crewmates without the Doctor profession would be more assuring.
He felt his jaw tighten, he was feeling uncomfortable enough before being outnumbered. He took a long deep breath before saying anything, wary of snapping. What worried him most was the reason for his caution, was it that he didn't want to offend any of his crewmates, or was it purely because him exploding at them in public would just result in more questions.
oO Shields up. Oo
Caldwell: ::Dryly:: What a surprise seeing you two here.
Saa: Glad you could join us.
Tasen/Matthews: Responses
He focused his mind, thinking of Saa, still not entirely sure how this Betazoid telepathy stuff worked.
oO Did you summon them? Oo
Saa: Response (if wanted).
Caldwell: I don't want to sound unappreciative but let me just catch everyone up. I'm fine, I have work to do, I don't like meetings, I'm fine. ::Turning towards Saa with a painted on smile:: Does that tally with you Doctor?
Saa: Response
Caldwell: Again, I don't want to sound unappreciative but it's not a crime to want to escape a meeting is it? I really do have work I need to be getting on with.
Tasen/Matthews: Responses
Christopher tilted his head slightly, subtly nodding as he demonstrated he was actively listening. On the inside however a random symphony, 'Tubthumping' by the famous classical composer Beethoven was going through his head, he made sure to turn it up fully so that Saa could enjoy it.
After a moment it dawned on him.
oO You idiot, that wasn't Beethoven... Host, it was Holst that did Tubthumping. So what's that Beethoven song you like? Oh yeah 'Faith of the Heart' they really should use that for a recruitment video or something. Now where was I? They've stopped talking and they are looking at me, must be my turn to say something. Oo
