[sb118-khitomer] Lieutenant (JG) Ezra Zerva - A Walk In The Park With Foxy And Friends
BC Cooper
((Arboretum, Beta Module, DS33))
Stretching his legs, Ezra decided to take Foxy Lady for a walk. He put on a black pair of walking shoes and wore his standard issued Starfleet PT clothing. Since the Khitomer was docked with DS33, he decided to visit the station’s arboretum. He was always taking her to the Khitomer’s arboretum.
Although he enjoyed going down the hall from his room to visit the vibrant garden, it always felt more personal. He usually went there with Lera and it just didn’t feel right taking Foxy without her there.
The last time he recalled being in the station's arboretum was during an awards ceremony. How long ago was that he couldn’t quite recall, but he always did enjoy his time here when he could.
Ezra went over his Kempos and Japanese language lessons in his head as he walked Foxy along one of the paths through the lush flora of the arboretum. He hadn’t had the chance to train inside the Holodeck Dojo or learn some more of the language where his art came from since before the last mission. Or was that two missions ago? Either way, it had been some time. While he did some stretching exercises and some of his Kempos and Katas in the mornings in his room, it wasn't the same as training in person at the dojo with his sensei. Or in this case, a hologram of said dojo teacher. Now that they were on shore leave, he would use some of that time to get more practice in with both.
Foxy led Ezra around a corner and he was so lost in his thoughts he nearly ran into a brown haired woman with red highlights and what looked like her child.
Zerva: ::surprised:: Oh! I’m so sorry.
Foxy nearly wrapped her pink and verdant blue-green leash around the woman.
DeVeau / Shyla: Response
Zerva: Foxy! ::to DeVeau:: Hold on, I’ll get her leash.
Ezra gave the leash a tug, directing Foxy away from getting the two tangled up.
Once freed, Foxy Lady began sniffing the two around their feet.
DeVeau / Shyla: Response
Zerva: ::chuckling:: That’s better. Foxy Lady has a habit of doing that with her leash ::looking down at her:: don’t you Foxy? Don’t mind her sniffing. She’s just curious about meeting new people. ::smiles looking back up:: Oh! Where are my manners? ::offering a friendly smile:: I’m Ezra Zerva, security officer aboard the USS Khitomer. This little lady here is Foxy Lady.
DeVeau / Shyla: Response
Zerva: Nice to meet you both. She’s half Pomsky and half Corgi. She is full of energy and very friendly. ::gets down to Shyla’s height:: You can pet her if you’d like?
Did Foxy like children? It was hard to say. Most of Foxy’s life was spent around adults. Given the volatile war with the Lattice Alliance in the Alpha Isles, it didn’t make sense to have any children onboard, lest they could get hurt in some manner. Their previous ship, the Arrow, wasn’t that big and really didn’t have accommodations for families. The station on the other hand, was set up with living space to allow for families. Mind you, DS33 had its share of problems, like the attack on the station by the Lattice Alliance on Frontier Day. Thankfully those days were behind them. Hopefully there would be no more problems for them to worry about here. At least the kind on the scale of an Alliance invasion.
Foxy was excited to get pets and was friendly. She wanted to give puppy kisses, but only if they would be received.
