Matthews took a step nearer to the Chief Medical Officer, his hand outstretched towards her.
Charles: Are you alright?
Ohnari: I'm fine, how about you? That shoulder the one in the collision?
Charles: ::weak laugh:: We really need to watch where we’re going. Is that the second time now?
Ohnari: ::snorting:: You would think I wouldn't use the same move twice, ::winking playfully:: I'm trying to find Roberto's Robotic Curios, I think I am turned around. See any places with weird looking whirly-gigs on your way to crashing into me?
Charlie frowned at Talia, and not only because of the pain now running through his shoulder and down into his arm. The good Doctor had just said plenty of words that meant absolutely nothing to him, and he wasn’t his face was fully expressing his confusion.
Charles: “Whirly-gigs”? “Roberto’s Robotic… Curios”? Try saying that when you’re drunk. ::smirks:: I can’t say I’ve noticed it, or any whirly-gigs.
Ohnari: Drat. I think that Agatha woman lied to me to get me out of her office...::whipping out a tricorder from an ever present thigh holster:: To make amends for my carelessness, let me just check out that shoulder. I am sure that couldn't have been pleasant. ::the device made a dedicated scan sound before a musical tune:: This is my..uh..off duty one...
The confusion regarding whirly-gigs and Roberto’s Robotic Curios was soon added to as Matthews wondered just who in the hell Agatha was and then, just to add the cherry to the top of the icing, the Haliian woman was now scanning him with a glittering pink tricorder that seemed to be playing a musical tune of some sort.
Charles: ::laughs:: Is that a real tricorder or one made to keep children entertained?
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?
Charles felt the laughter warp away from his face. Hell, it sped away from him as if his joy had just entered a transwarp conduit. Those words, that name; Doctor Alix Harford; it was not a name that he’d thought he’d hear again, and definitely not so soon. Certain the colour had drained from his face; he forced himself to answer Doctor Ohnari.
Charles: Did you say… Alix Harford?
Ohnari: Response
Charles: You’re joking, right? Is this some weird Khitomer prank that I don’t understand?
Ohnari: Response
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…?
Ohnari: Response
Matthews felt his face blush with embarrassment. Blush? He was certain his face was as red as a baboon’s backside.
Charles: I’ve said too much.
Ohnari: Response
