[sb118-khitomer] Lieutenant (JG) Ezra Zerva - Lunch Time Anyone?
BC Cooper
((Lera’s quarters. Room 141, Deck 14, USS Khitomer - Docked at DS-33))
Ezra rang the door chime as he stood just outside the door to Lera’s quarters. After sleeping most of the way back to DS-33, Ezra awoke feeling a hundred percent better and able to see clearly now that the medication drops the CMO had given him were working.
He decided he would surprise Lera and see if she was up for lunch on the station before his check up in medical and his consolers appointment. He thought she would want something that wasn’t replicated to eat.
The morning was most uneventful. The first thing he did was take a nice hot sonic shower now that they were working again. He was thankful for Commander Dewitt and the rest of engineering for it. Ezra got dressed and put on a dark pair of jeans and a t-shirt with the Starfleet logo in his department colors.
He then called down to security to check in with his department. PO2 Pearl reported in that all was well, and he let Ezra know they were thankful that he was doing better. He appreciated their sentiments and ended the comms and then turn his attention to Foxy Lady. He filled her food bowls of her favorite puppy food and some water and made sure her puppy pad had been cleaned up and changed. A small part of him wondered if having a dog on a starship was a good idea. Especially when he was always busy with his duties as a security officer. He appreciated Lera helping him clean his room and taking Foxy for walks while he slept.
A smile went across his face as he thought about everything that had transpired between them since his injuries. Lera had fussed over him while his eyes recovered, holding his hand as she did. Then there was that kiss she’d given him on his forehead. She had grown closer with Foxy too. It warmed his heart just thinking about all of it.
His mind returned to the present as Lera answered the doorbell chime. His eyes however were not on her door, but the one next to hers. Room 147, which was currently empty.
oO I wonder… Oo
Before he realized it, he had stepped forward and bumped into her door, giving the impression he might still have vision problems.
Michaels: Response
Zevra: ::feeling a bit dizzy after bonking his head into her door:: I… I’m okay. I think, I just need a minute. ::reaches up to check for a bruise:: I’m okay, right?
Michaels: Response
He took her help and sat down.
Zevra: I assure you, I’m not still blind. I was feeling much better when I woke up this morning thanks to you and the doctor’s medicine. I promise I wasn’t doing this to get attention on purpose. ::winces from the bump:: Instead of a big dark blur, I can see you as clear as day, we’ll mostly after my bump
::chuckles:: You know you’re the first face I’ve seen since my eyes cleared up. ::beaming and wincing at the same time:: I’m glad it’s you.
Michaels: Response
He tried to sit as still as he could for her. Once she was finished, he continued on.
Zevra: Thank you. I came by to ask if you would like to grab some lunch on the station? Something non replicated and vegetarian perhaps? I know this restaurant I think you’ll love.
Michaels: Response
Zevra: I thought you might. How would you feel about asking other members of the crew to join us?
Michaels: Response
Zevra: Great. Ra’s room is just a few doors down. I’m assuming he’s been cleared to return to his room? If he’s feeling up for it, I think it would do some good for him to join us.
Michaels: Response
Ezra gave Lera a nod and then sent a message on his PADD to the rest of the crew inviting anyone aboard the Khitty who would want to join them. He gave out the name of the restaurant, which specialized in vegetarian food. He let them know he and Ensign Michaels could meet them there or arrive together from the Khitty.
((Brief Timeskip. Outside Ras’s quarters. Room 143. Deck 14, USS Khitomer - Docked at DS-33))
Ezra activated the chime to Ras’s room. He wondered how Ras was doing after he had lost a hand. His injuries were bad and Ezra hoped Ras recovery was going okay. He waited patiently for Ras to respond. Was he even here?
Zevra: Lieutenant El’Heem? Ras? It’s Ezra and Lera. If you’re feeling better, we were wondering if you wanted to join us for lunch? It’s vegetarian and on me.
Michaels / El’Heem / Any: Response
