LtCmdr Azura Ada - no, wait, this is silly

[Lazuli Davis]

(( Azura's room, Maklau Resort ))

Koyama: =/\= Fix ... PADDs? Yeah... I do repairs like that.  =/\=

Ada: =/\= Oh, great! I'm down on Risa. Do you make house calls? ::She chuckled nervously, feeling silly about this whole thing.:: If so, I can send you the location of my room at the resort. =/\=

Koyama: =/\= Sure, go ahead. I'll bring my tools down.  =/\=

Ada: =/\= Great. Sending it to you now. =/\=

As she spoke, she tapped her location into the console and sent it to Koyama on the Chin'toka, and tidied up the room and made sure she was ready to receive a guest. 

In moments, she heard the familiar shimmering sound and turned to see Koyama materialize in her room.

Koyama: Well, this place is nice. Is this a resort?

Ada: It is! What a treat, I've never been to Risa before. 

Koyama: Well, the Risans are nothing if not good decorators. Still. Duty calls. Where is the broken PADD?

Azura wordlessly and solemnly motioned to the broken PADD on the stone tile floor. Koyama set her tools down on the desk, and looked the mess over.

Koyama: Wow  - you really did a number on this one. Wait - this is an older model. Are you sure you want this repaired? We can issue you a newer one - The Mk X's have a nicer holo emitter.

Ada: The new ones have holo-emitters?? Uh... I guess so--wait, no, can't you just fix this one?

Azura felt herself pulled in multiple directions as she spoke, and was quite confused as to why. Technically it wasn't even her PADD, it was Lazarus'. It just so happened to be identical to her own. 

And it was just a PADD. She could pick up any PADD and it would auto-configure to match her exact settings on her own. Most people couldn't even tell PADDs apart.

Koyama: ?

Ada: Thanks. I... I don't know, to be honest. I guess I'm attached to it. What's your name by the way?

Koyama: ?

Ada: Pleased to meet you. And thanks... uh, for taking care of this. ::beat:: Gosh, I'm starting to feel silly about this whole thing.

She shook her head at herself as she spoke, and put her hands on her hips. Her shawl, made from a fabric that both looked translucent and weighty, framed her.

Koyama: ?
