Backsim: Cadet Kherys Harper - "Back To Life, Back To Reality"

[Amanda Nordstrom]

 
((Starbase 118 Ops - Kherys & Tony’s quarters))
 
Hobbies could be looked upon as trivial things, activities to pass away the time.  For Kherys, however, they were something to help her relax, something she enjoyed.  Unfortunately, she also had a passion for medicine and she world hard to reach her goals.  Because she didn’t take breaks, instead inserting classes whenever and wherever she could, she was graduating a little early, but it left no time for such things.  Soon, however, that would change. 
 
Harper: I’m sure I’ll have more time after graduation.  I’m close to finishing and then I'll settle into a routine and be able to take a little more time for myself.
 
Amaase: It is hard to find time normally, without studies on top.
 
Yes, it was.  Her studies consumed most of her waking hours, except when a friend pulled her away from them.  Sometimes, though, it was very much needed.  A moment later, Ariana checked the time, then commented. 
 
Amaase: I'm going to have to get back for this call, I need to eat first too.
 
Harper: Of course, I understand. 
 
And Kherys did have more school to work on.  Life didn’t stop, they just avoided it for a while. 
 
The other woman rose and opened her arms. 
 
Amaase: If you aren't a hugger, I understand. ::she smiled:: I won't assume that I smell funny::
 
Harper: Actually, I enjoy hugs. Thank you.
 
A soft chuckle followed, and Kherys rose as well, embracing her friend.  Then, Ariana turned and made her way to the door, calling out -
 
Amaase: Take care.
 
Harper: You two.
 
Kherys watched as the doors parted and she left, leaving the cadet alone.  It had been a lovely break and a great chance to catch up.  Like Ariana, however, she also had work to do.  With that in mind, Kherys took care of the dishes, then refocused on her studies.
