((Sickbay, Deck 10 USS Ronin))
Rox was best friends with Katsim Peri, an officer currently serving on the USS Butler. They had first met on the Oumuamua and while Rox was hauled Peri along on many a misadventure, Peri still seemed to tolerate the woman. If Peri had one complaint it was Rox's obsession with her relationship status, particularly as it pertained to Wes Greaves. Now the tables were about to be turned and if Kastsim Peri had been there, even the usually subdued Bardassian would likely have laughed out loud.
Rox: I'll come find you when I'm done Wyla, in case you need help finishing the A and B.
De La Croix: And I'll join you...I hear the gray wall paneling in Ward A is lovely this time of day. Perhaps while I'm there we can discuss your...buoyant mood.
Avae: Yeah, I was just going to say something about that. Are you feeling alright Rox? You’re acting….weird.
Rox scrunched her nose.
Rox: I'm fine. I have good moods…sometimes.
De La Croix: I had assumed as much dear but this....whatever this is that you're doing...it's unsettling. Are you feeling alright? Did you sneak some of that delicious champagne aboard by chance? If so...shame on you for not sharing!
Thess and Wyla were exchanging looks and Rox thought perhaps it was time to change the topic of conversation. Her ears were beginning to feel arm.
De La Croix: What do you think? Should we declare some sort of medical emergency? Has our dear Roxanne been replaced by one of those dastardly changelings that seem to pop up every few years to cause a ruckus?
Avae: We can run the standard tests. Or maybe she’s been possessed by an energy being. That’s happened before.
Rox: So any rumors about what's happening. Whatever it is must be damn important.
De La Croix: Oh no no, you're not changing the subject that easily. Something is going on here and I...we...want to know what it is. ::A sudden flash of intuition made her eyes widen:: Or who it is! Otherwise we may just have to start scanning you for brain parasites.
oO Well Poo. Oo
Avae: Right! What Thess said. There’s something wayyyyyyyyy strange going on with you and I wanna know. Did you get a pet? No, no one acts this weird cause they got a cat.
Rox was clearly not going to get out of this without some kind of response. If she didn't they would have her strapped to a biobed with some Vulcan crewman reading her mind.
Rox: ::deep breath:: As it happens I was on a date before I was recalled here.
A faux gasp came from Thess and Wyla's eyes grew wide.
De La Croix: Roxanne! All that time we spent together in prison and I had no idea you had a social life beyond the occasional bit of public larceny. Do tell! As Beckie pointed out...we're not going anywhere for a while. And you know as well as I do that our little bandage stand here is more than prepared for the odd scrape or partial disintegration. Or is there perhaps some reason you've been keeping this little secret?
oO What did you think Grandma? That I spent all my free time in my quarters knitting? Oo
Rox opened her mouth to speak, but before she could Wyla announced that she had come to a conclusion with a loud squeal.
Avae: Oooooooooh!! I know! I heard someone saw Rox with Marty at one of those fancy restaurants they had. ::the Antosians’ eyes lit up like Hobus just happened a second time:: ROX GOT SOME TUCKER!
Now it was Rox's turn to have her eyes go wide and while she tried to make them close, there she could not seem to get the wide grin off her face.
Rox: Wyla! Get your mind out of the gutter!
De La Croix: Response
Avae: Food! I meant food of course. ::giggling:: Come on Rox, we all know just going on a date isn’t enough to put a girl in that good of a mood. ::her giggling subsided and she gave Rox a doey look:: Unlessssss, you really like who you went on a date with. Spill. It. Girl.
Rox: What are we freshmen at the academy? We can talk about this later we have work to do.
De La Croix: Response
Rox took two steps toward ward C and what she hoped was an escape from the pair, but it was not to be so.
Avae: I can prep wards in my sleep, stop trying to change the subject Rox. ::she giggled:: I pry because I care.
Rox: ::shaking her head:: Fine. Fine you harpies. Marty and I went down to the resort for dinner. We got recalled before dinner was over, but we made the most of the facility before we beamed back to the ship.
De La Croix: Response
Rox: ::raising her hands:: I'm not spelling it out for you.
De La Croix/Avae: Response
She gave the pair a stern look.
Rox: Marty is a great guy. Don't do anything to spoil this for me.
De La Croix/Avae: Response
Rox: Why don't you two put yourselves out there? I hear ::serious tone:: Commander Kel ::regular voice:: is lonely and desperate.
