De La Croix:  Well in that case he'll certain to listen to me, one Doctor to another, better Doctor.

The lascivious little tart actually had the audacity to walk up to her plank of a desk and put on what was most certainly her strongest pout.  

Rox: Dr. La Croix I respect you a great deal.  I would love to learn from you. ::beat::  But do not be condescending about the men and women serving on this ship.  

Thess leaned back in her chair and smiled like the proverbial cat who'd just eaten the canary.  

De La Croix: Oh you're a scrappy little thing aren't you.  ::A single, bemused laugh::  Delicious.  I like that, reminds me of...well..me.  Although I never flounced about quite so much.  Besides dearie, how could I be condescending?  I've barely spoken to the man and I certainly haven't spent any time thinking about him.  

Rox:  I have seen V'Len up to his elbows in another crewmember while the lights were flickering around him.  You may have a lot of letters behind your name, but when shit hits the fan we'll see how you stack up.  

Thess took in the indignant glare with the grace and aplomb of someone who had never lowered themselves to being up to their elbows in anything.  If anything, she found herself bemused.  These Starfleet types were almost too easy to rile.  

De La Croix: My dear, this may be difficult for you to understand but I became the premiere surgical authority in the quadrant when I was only a bit older than you are now.  I have performed procedures of my own design to mend damage the likes of which a...::she nodded dismissively towards the whole of sickbay::...lowly abattoir like this can't even begin to appreciate.  I'm more than confident I'll be able to dispense bandages and lollies with you should the need ever arise.  Now isn't there something you need to be doing...spinning a large light up wheel while bending over suggestively, perhaps?  

Rox:  Put that in your pipe and smoke it.  

Thess allowed herself a small, victorious smirk as the nurse slunk away to wherever it was she separated gamblers from their currency before turning her attention back towards the display.  She really was finding it quite vexing that something was going on somewhere aboard this ship and yet somehow her expertise was being completely underutilized.  Since it seemed like their Captain was too busy for her input, she decided instead to try a different tactic.  She tapped the communication control on her desk and tried to remember the other Doctor's name.  

De La Croix: =/\= Sickbay to Doctor...Shortbread.  This is Doctor Thessolonia De La Croix. It seems you've forgotten to check in with me.  =/\=

Rox/Shortrith:  Response

She affected a deeply dramatic sigh.  

De La Croix:  =/\= Well try to be a bit more interesting next time and I just might be able to remember it.  So what's all this nonsense with the lights?  The candy striper you have working down here doesn't know a thing.  =/\=

Rox/Shortrith:  Response

Thess scoffed audibly at the notion.  

De La Croix:  =/\=  Me, on a ship even smaller than this one?  I hardly realized such a thing existed.  What am I to do, nurse an amoeba back to health?  =/\=

Rox/Shortrith:  Response
