Ensign Jania Nis - A little homesick
Jania Nis
((OOC: Wrapping up a shore leave scene))
((Corridor, Octavia E Butler))
Jania NIs was homesick, which was why she was going to the holodeck with a bootleg program that would allegedly replicate any part of the Trill homeworld perfectly. But Starfleet personnel weren’t homesick, ever, right? They were consummate adventurers, always ready to move forward into new dawns. She certainly didn't want to admit her feelings to Lt. Maxwell; he was a soldier, after all.
Nis: Well, I wouldn’t say homesick, but … Maybe a little homesick. This is my first time offworld. Nis has been around quite a bit, but not me. Are you from Earth?
Maxwell: You'll adjust tae it. ::He gave another nod.:: Aye, that I am. Scotland if you want tae be precise.
Nis nodded knowingly.
Nis: Sco’lund, interesting. What is Sco’lund like?
Maxwell: It's no bad. Wonderful scenery thereabouts. I grew up in a wee house a mile or so out ae the town. How about yourself?
Jania tried to pay attention to Maxwell, but it was hard not to get consumed in thoughts of the past when he gave her the invitation.
Nis: That was kind of like us, too. Well, me. I didn’t have Nis back then. It was a suburban place, but right on the edge of the forest. I used to run off and get into trouble in the woods all the time. So many ina raptor bites. When was the last time you were in Sco'lund?
Maxwell: I've no been hame for a while now. ::He motioned about, indicating the ship.:: Doubt I will for some time yet either.
She knew he was right, but it was a weighty thing to hear, since the same was true of her.
Nis: Who knows, maybe we’ll take a mission there one day.
Jania smiled reassuringly, as much for herself as for Maxwell. Maybe more for herself. They weren’t all that far away, because they could visit, even if they wouldn’t.
Maxwell: Response.
Nis: They don’t tell us much in sickbay. Something about an anomaly?
Maxwell: Response
Nis: Oh. ::cringing :: Is it dangerous to get that close to a wormhole?
Maxwell: Response
Nis: Yeah, we’re sure you’re right. Well, we’re headed to the holodeck. Tell your kitty we say pspspspspsps.
Maxwell: Response
