❝ Something on your mind, Bones? ❞  The padd is set to the side. Eyes raise to look at the CMO’s face. He looks to be in thought. Perhaps even bothered. Unnerved even? Jim knows that much of the crew is shaken by the events of what transpired. Once repairs were finished, he’d authorized shore leave for much of the crew. Time off the ship would do them all good.

Of course, he would stay with Spock and a skeleton crew to watch the ship. He rarely if ever willingly takes shoreleave. Right now, leaving her sounded barbaric. He doesn’t want to part with the ship.

❝ I know there’s a lot of casualties. If we need relief from Starbase 86, just ask. ❞   He waits, prompts @astralanthropologists​ to respond. Jim’s patient and he knows the good doctor is likely thinking about whatever he wants to say. Hopefully, this isn’t one of those times where he tries to hone in on him.

     Jim’d say he was fine regardless of if it were true or not. Captain’s prerogative.

❝ Well, Bones? ❞

                           IT WAS NOT HIS INTENTION                  to get wrapped up in a conversation about contextual subspace variational quantum.   but tongue moves quicker than his brain    ⎯⎯⎯⎯    ensign has not outgrown childhood of leaping towards explanation even when he had not been asked.  knowledge is not wisdom,   for wisdom knows when to be silent.  

he sits with his back towards his screen.  space is quiet,  a course laid out long ago.  there’s no reason for him not to indulge.  ❝ see,  IT IS SIMPLE.  just simulate the contextual part of the hamiltonian.  ❞  pause drops in his words,  fingers tapping on his own knee.  silence and sittings till are concepts which are lost on him.  ❝  duh.  ❞

@astralanthropologists​ gets a shore leave nonsense

“Leo. I love you. But it is way too hot to even think about moving.”

Head propped up on one hand, Janice gives him a fond glare over the bridge of her sunglasses. Despite her protestations, there is a slight breeze, and it ruffles the canopy above their heads.

“But if you’re already up....”

❝  I believe I’ve sufficiently recovered.  ❞    Spock aims to raise himself up, props himself up easily on the pillows. His strength is not quite returned to one hundred percent, but he would put himself at ninety-percent efficiency. Which, compared to their mutual friend and captain who was no where near that level of recovery, Spock was easily the best choice to release from sickbay to resume his role as acting captain. However, he had a feeling McCoy would not agree ...

     But he wanted out of the medical bay and back into his quarters.

❝  I’d like you to clear me for duty. Or at least, clear me to return to my own bed and quarters where I might better recover.  ❞    @astralanthropologists​ (bones)

“Imzadi, you are VERY tense.” Deanna took Riker’s hand. “Why don’t we relax? We’re off-shift.” @astralanthropologists​

❝      I  have  a  lot  on  my  mind.      ❞        But  in  an  instant  he  feels  as  if  all  of  it  were  washed  away      ,      almost  as  if  her  very  touch  soothed  his  worries.  Almost  as  if  she  were  a  cool  drink  of  water  nad  he  was  a  dehydrated  man  in  a  desert.  Riker  finds  that  he  cannot  hide  nor  can  he  resist  the  effect  that  Deanna  has  on  him  and  he  eventually  feels  that  tension  melt  away  from  his  being.

A  sigh  leaves  his  lips.      ❝      Deanna    .....      I  can’t  ever  hide  or  resist  you.  We  are  off  shift  and  we  should  spend  this  time  relaxing  together.  I  shouldn’t  let  the  stress  of  the  shift  bleed  over.      ❞        He  admits  and  soon  he  feels  his  body  so  easily  melt  next  to  her  and  he  moves  in  closer.      ❝      Maybe  you’ll  even  humor  me  and  we  can  have  dinner  together.      ❞

❝      Still   got   that   Saurion   brandy   ?      Might   need   a   drink   after   this.      ❞      Not   that   Jim   would   ever   actually   drink   on   the   shift.   He   reserved   that   for   shore   leave   and   the   likes.   But   ,      he   was   beginning   to   feel   weary.   As   if   the   sum   total   of   the   past   few   months   bloomed   and   mounted   within   him.   Just   as   galaxies   and   planets   were   born   and   then   disappeared   ,      he   had   a   galaxy’s   worth   of   thoughts   on   his   mind.   His   problems   plus   the   other   four   hundred   and   thirty-one   people   on   board   this   vessel.   Surely   no   one   man   was   expected   to   handle   them   all   alone   ?

A   hand   ,      digits   pinching   the   bridge   of   his   nose.      ❝      Maybe   when   we   get   to   Starbase   37   you’ll   join   me   for   a   bit   of   shore   leave   and   a   friendly   drink   like   old   times   ?      ❞     @astralanthropologists​   /   starter call
