Lieutenant Commander Talia Ohnari ~ The heart is the most complex machine

[Roxanna Dorion]

((Beta Module, Commercial Sector, DS33, Alpha Isles))

 

Talia Ohnari had literally run into Lieutenant Matthews...again. Too busy looking for store fronts to pay attention to the walkway. But, she never left home without a personal tricorder and a sense of diagnosing an aggravated wound. 

However, it seems this certain human had a similar disdain for whimsy, which sparked her memory. 

 

Ohnari: ::mock offense:: Well excuse me for having some whimsy now and again. Do you know you're like the third person this week to give me judge face over my chosen aesthetics? One is even going to be working with me!! Although she was adorable in trying to backtrack it. Oh! You may know her, she was previously stationed on the Astraeus! Doctor Alix Harford, did you know her well?

 

It was as if a bucket of ice had been upended all over the tactical officer's emotional imprint. 

 

Charles: Did you say… Alix Harford?

What in the Gods names had she just invoked....

 

Ohnari: ::cautiously:: Yes, she actually just arrived as a replacement physician now that Ras has decided to pursue science for a bit. 

 

Charles: You’re joking, right? Is this some weird Khitomer prank that I don’t understand?

While her conversation with Dr. Harford had been very brief, they hadn't really chatted too deeply in past service. 

 

Ohnari: Um...while normally I would be all over that....no, I am not attempting to prank you...

 

Charles: Doctor Alix Harford? ::pause:: Ridiculously to the point? Lacks any discernible sense of humour? ::gestures with his left hand:: So high? Brown hair, eyes you can get lost in? Stunningly pretty with full lips…?

It was as if the clouds had parted after a long rain. The sun warming the dull and dreary. The Haliian had to bite the inside of her cheek to prevent breaking into a smile. 

 

Ohnari: Why yes indeed. I do believe the "Stunningly pretty with full lips" was a highlight on her transfer paperwork, now that I recall. 

 

If she bit any harder on her inside cheek she would draw blood, and then fail, and be grinning with bloody teeth. Not the image she would wish to portray. So it seemed their frosty tactical officer had a thing for her new colleague. 

 

Charles: I’ve said too much.

Stepping next to him and looping her arm through his, she grinned, thankfully blood free.

 

Ohnari: Why Mr. Matthews, doth one have a history with my fellow physician? 

oO Ok dial it back, he already thinks you are insane. Oo

Charles: Response 

Ohnari: ::miming zipping her lips:: Now, I may enjoy whimsy, but I do not go about making officers uncomfortable for fun. oO Wait. Oo Well, I mean, unless I know you better. So, Doctor's honor I shall keep your secret. Can I ask if she knows how you feel about her stunningly pretty self...?

Charles: Response 

Ohnari: Whatever do you mean? You are simply my escort in finding Roberto's Robotic Curios. ::raising an eyebrow:: Mayhaps we stumble upon a "stunningly pretty" welcome present for my new officer...::smirking:: Ok, sorry. Last one. 

She was barely holding it all in. Her speech always got formal and weird when she was excited. On her first official date with one Nolen Hobart, he actually asked her if she'd hit her head somewhere in the process of leaving her office and meeting him for dinner. 

Charles: Response
