Arden quarters part 1

USS Odyssey

Deck 4 (Sr Staff) / quarters

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 01:37 PM

*Katie's stuff had been all moved to here, with her bookshelves, and her many models decorating the room.*

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 01:44 PM

*Tim's stuff had been moved as well- he unpacked more of his things than before, including but not limited to, several photographs, a lot of them including himself (though much younger) and a young woman with red hair. Along with those were the fencing swords, all lined up nicely, a few antique knives on display, and various play scripts and legal books.* "Sorry my... stuff is around, haha. I'm glad we have a space now..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 02:29 PM

“Together at last.”

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 02:30 PM

"Glad to be here." *He smiled and took both her hands.* "I'm happy."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 07:25 PM

“I am too.”

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 07:26 PM

"Nice quarters, huh? A little... bigger. More than enough room for the two of us, you know? Very comfortable." *He kissed her on the cheek.* "Glad I get to share with you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 07:47 PM

"Yeah... I just wish the captain hadn't told everyone about us being able to move in together now..."

*She laughed.*

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 07:48 PM

*He laughed a bit before taking a seat on a sofa.* "Well, we're always together- people were *bound* to find out eventually..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 08:50 PM

"I mean like, even still, it doesn't have to be announced to the entire crew."

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 08:52 PM

"True- maybe that was his way of showing us a bit of affection. You know how people have different ways."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 09:39 PM

"I guess, but it really was just saying, 'Katie and Tim are having sex, and this is where they are doing it."

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 09:46 PM

"I suppose..." *He laid back on the couch and propped his head up.* "Really, though... it *is* nice."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 09:48 PM

"It is."

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 09:49 PM

"And the models really *do* spruce up the place. It looks like someone interesting lives here, haha..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 09:52 PM

"Huh?" *She said, taking his words to mean that it 'almost looked like someone interesting lived there'.* "Don't you think I'm interesting?"

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 10:07 PM

"I do- I'm just saying that, without you, this place would be mostly bare- I usually live a minimalist lifestyle."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 10:55 PM

"Oh... sorry..." *She apologized.*

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 11:01 PM

"No need to be." *He smiled.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 11:02 PM

“Sorry for apologizing.”

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 11:03 PM

"It's okay, really."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 11:04 PM

*She sighed and lay back on the bed.*

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 11:09 PM

"You okay?" *He sat up.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 11:14 PM

“Yeah, just... tired, I guess.”

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 11:24 PM

*He sat next to her, then took her hand.* "Sorry. We've both been through stuff recently. I hope you feel better soon."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 11:24 PM

“Huh?”

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 11:25 PM

"You're tired." *He patted her.* "I forget sometimes we've got different things going on."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 14-Nov-20 11:47 PM

“I...don’t really have anything going on...”

Haru-chan 14-Nov-20 11:55 PM

"Oh. Well, then I'm sorry."

"You're probably just tired then, huh?" *He laid down next to her with his hands on his stomach.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:01 AM

“Yeah...” *She looked over at Nosy, who was asleep, curled up in a corner.*

*She got up and gently picked him up, and set the sleeping cat between them.*

“Aww, he’s so cute.”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:03 AM

"That he is." *He pet the cat and smiled.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:03 AM

“So what’s new with you?”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:09 AM

"Hmm? Not too much. Doing assigned duties... sitting at a desk and reading, mostly. Other than that? Very little." *He chuckled as he scratched behind Nosy's ears.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:12 AM

“Cool...” *She stared at the ceiling.*

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:13 AM

"And with you? Anything new, or exciting?" *He rolled to face her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:17 AM

“I...wish. No... no, nothing new.”

“I wish something would though... but nothing ever exciting happens to me, except getting mobbed by possums.”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:20 AM

"Oh.... right." *Tim smiled a little bit at that.* "I, too, sometimes wish something exciting would happen, you know? But, I suppose it can be considered a blessing in disguise." (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:22 AM

“I mean... It’s just that, nothing exciting ever seems to happen to me, it’s always happening to other people.”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:24 AM

*He lay back and thought for a moment, then nodded.* "True- we often notice things that happen to other people, rather than to ourselves, and an uneventful life seems a bit... less than favorable, but if things *only* happened to you, you'd be burned out, before too long." *He smiled at her, picking Nosy up.* "...by extension, *we'd* be burnt out, too."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:25 AM

“I just wish something would happen though...”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:26 AM

*He sighed a bit, laying back and letting Nosy lay on his chest.* "Eventually things might turn around, you know? I mean, at some point or another, we're *bound* to have... *something* happen."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:33 AM

“I guess...”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:35 AM

"I'm sorry I'm not much of a help- my specialty is... talking, not talking *helpfully,* you know." *Tim laughed and held her hand.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:47 AM

“Sorry, you’re fine, I just don’t feel well, I guess...”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:48 AM

"Can I get you anything? Like... soda bicarbonate? Or any medicine?" *He sat up quickly, eyes wide- what if Katie was sick?* "Or- or any antibiotics?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:52 AM

“Wh-Whoah, hold your horses.”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:53 AM

"I mean, traditionally speaking, it's better to first counteract a virus before infection, you know- would you like me to go requisition any medicine for you?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 12:55 AM

“It’s just my stomach...”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 12:57 AM

"Oh- would bismuth help you, then? Or maybe milk of magnesia- or perhaps omeprazole?" *He was sitting up and ready to help if she needed it.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 01:00 AM

“Sure...” *She gently took Nosy, cuddling him to her chest.*

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 01:02 AM

"Alright!" *He stood up quickly and turned to her.* "Stay *right* there! I'll be back- wait... I could just replicate it.... I'll be right back from the other room!" *He left and quickly replicated the above mentioned antacid.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 01:19 AM

*She sat up.* “Th-Thanks.”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 01:24 AM

"You're welcome- anything else I can get you?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 01:46 AM

“No, no, just... sit with me, please.”

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 01:46 AM

"Of course!" *He happily sad down next to her, though he was ready to spring up if she needed it.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 10:12 AM

*She tried sitting up next to him.* “Oh...” *She groaned.*

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 02:56 PM

"You okay?"

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 03:22 PM

*He quickly moved to her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 05:13 PM

"Y-Yeah..."

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 05:13 PM

"What's wrong? Do we need to get you to medical?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 08:49 PM

"I-It's fine, it's just a stomachache or something..."

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 09:05 PM

"We shouldn't leave it to chance, though..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 09:07 PM

"Then lets go..."

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 09:11 PM

"Alright." *He stood up and took her hand.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 09:27 PM

*She took his hand, and hoisted herself to her feet.*

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 09:28 PM

*He led her out the door to the hall.* "I hope it's not like a stomach virus or anything..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 09:31 PM

"Mhm..." *She mumbled.*

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 09:32 PM

"Maybe indigestion? Or... possibly a foreign pathogen picked up while away?" *He was more worried than he thought he'd be.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Nov-20 09:38 PM

"I dunno..."

*She followed him.*

Haru-chan 15-Nov-20 09:39 PM

*He walked out with her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 12:56 AM

*She entered, immediately going over to her PADD. She had two messages, one from an academy friend and the other from her parents.*

“You were right.”

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 12:58 AM

"Oh? Congrats! Anything good?" *He got himself a glass and a bottle of blue liquid- his blue raspberry lemonade soda.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 01:00 AM

*She decided to read the one from her parents first. They asked how she was, how she liked her job, had she been promoted, had she found a man who would love her and treat her right, unlike that awful Zachary Hawthorne that had stood her up at homecoming. Katie smiled as she read it, feeling a little homesick, though trying not to cry of course.*

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 01:01 AM

*Tim, exhausted, removed his jacket and opened his vest, sitting on the sofa.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 01:05 AM

*She lay on the bed with Nosy.*

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 01:05 AM

*He sat up and sat next to her.* "Exhausting day?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 09:39 AM

*She was reading the message from her parents.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 10:19 AM

“Yeah, tired...”

“Parents sent me a message...”

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 01:23 PM

"That's good right? How's it going?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 01:50 PM

"They say that they're doing fine, Uncle Jack and Aunt Cathy say hello..."

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 01:51 PM

"Oh, that's wonderful!" *He scratched Nosy's ears.* "Personally, I don't receive many letters."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 01:55 PM

"Aw, why?"

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 01:56 PM

"Not many people, I'm sorry to say, that I correspond with."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 01:57 PM

*She scanned the letter.* "Ha, here they ask if I found a man yet."

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 01:59 PM

"Oh? How do you intend to respond...?" *He smiled a bit.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 08:34 PM

"Uh, I dunno, hahah..."

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 08:35 PM

"Ouch- madame, you wound me...!" *He laid back on the bed, pretending to be stabbed, reaching for the sky.* "...let it be said I died in a heroic way. Saving my family from the wreckage of a ship..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 10:37 PM

"I'll tell them you're great, and you're better than Zachary." *She laughed.*

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 10:38 PM

*He laughed and rolled onto his stomach.* "I'm glad I'm even better than someone I don't know! That's a compliment!" *He kissed her on the cheek, then picked Nosy up*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 10:39 PM

"Ahahaha... I guess thats not a glowing compliment since anyone would be better than him."

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 10:41 PM

"Ah, I see." *He nuzzled Nosy, rubbing him on his face.* "...still though, glad to be considered in a positive light by you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 10:42 PM

"Uh, well, you're greater than anyone."

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 10:43 PM

*He laughed, laying Nosy on his lap.* "...I'm glad you think so- I feel similarly about you, love."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 11:51 PM

“Anyone is better than Hawthorn though...” *She mumbled bitterly.* “Hey where Nosy go- oh there he is.\*

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 11:51 PM

*Tim pet Nosy on his lap and handed him over to her.* "Sorry- just spending time with the boy."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Nov-20 11:52 PM

“Aw. he’s so cute.”

Haru-chan 21-Nov-20 11:53 PM

"Very!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:08 AM

“So... what now?”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:09 AM

"I dunno." *He laid back and rested his head on a pillow.* "I'm open to anything you'd like, really- though, I'd appreciate a shower and change. It was an eventful day, after all."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:10 AM

“You can change and shower, I’m not stopping you.”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:11 AM

"Not that you *would,* I was just... mentioning the tired, haha..." *He sat back up and unzipped his shirt.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:30 AM

“Ahaha...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:31 AM

*He finished his drink and placed the glass on a table- with a coaster, of course.* "And what about your plans, if I may ask?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:40 AM

“Uh, just sit here, I guess...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:41 AM

"Ah, I see- I agree: a night in, rest... sounds fantastic right about now."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:43 AM

“Mhm...” *She was lost in thought.*

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:47 AM

*He left for a few minutes to shower, before coming back, clothed in basic pajamas: tan pants, white undershirt. He sat down next to her.* "You good, Katie Kat?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:48 AM

“Yeah... just... thinking about high school, and home...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:48 AM

"Ah- what about, if I may ask? I mean... anything specific?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:52 AM

“My... parents letter made me remember something that I... tried hard to forget.”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:53 AM

"Oh... I'm sorry. Anything I can do to help? I'm no counselor but if you wanna talk..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:54 AM

“Sure...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:55 AM

*He moved to face her.* "I'm all ears... Kat." *He shortened her name a bit, hoping that would be nice-ish.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:56 AM

“Please don’t call me that.”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:57 AM

"Alright then, Katie it remains." *He leaned in, indicating his attention belonged exclusively to her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 12:58 AM

“Sorry...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 12:58 AM

"It's all good!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 01:03 AM

“Uh, so, I mentioned Zachary Hawthorn, uh, he was a boy, that, for a very brief time, was my boyfriend, in high school, it wasn’t intimate but I thought it could be later, perhaps... So anyways, uh, he... was going to take me to our schools homecoming dance, but he stood me up, I didn’t go, but... it turned out that he did anyway... I... was shattered...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 01:04 AM

*Tim thought for a moment- he, himself, hadn't attended social gatherings as a teenager, so he had little to input, but nodded silently.* "...I see- I'm... sorry to hear that, Katie..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 01:10 AM

“Yeah... my parents asked in the letter if I’d found someone who’d love me and care about me, and one who I’d do to likewise, unlike Hawthorn,”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 01:43 AM

"Oh. Well..." *He reached for her hand.* "Rest assured, I do. Love you, that is..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 01:45 AM

*She hugged him, and kissed him.* (edited)

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 01:46 AM

*He put his arms around her and kissed her with equal passion.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 01:59 AM

“I-I’m sorry... I-I didn’t think you’d actually say that...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 02:00 AM

"Of course I do- very much, in fact..." *He smiled at her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 02:01 AM

“I mean, I wasn’t sure, like... I... I mean, that you, I don’t know why, I just doubted for a second...”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 02:01 AM

"Well, you can be sure- I'm here for the long run, Katie Kat." (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 02:03 AM

“I love you.” *She collapsed into the bed, next to him.*

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 02:03 AM

"I love you, too." *He held her, smiling.* "Oh... do you remember when we talked about... aspirations?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 02:04 AM

“Kind of.” (edited)

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 02:05 AM

"...well, I've... been doing some thinking: when I can, I'm gonna try to go the Command route. I'm..." *He sighed, then smiled.* "...I'm gonna be a Captain- gonna try to get my own ship. And I wanna take you with me, when the time comes, Katie "

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 02:06 AM

“Would that be allowed?”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 02:07 AM

"Maybe. I hope. I don't know. But I'm gonna try- this probably won't happen for another decade, after all. Plenty of time." *He held her close.* "...sorry for the sudden...ness."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 02:07 AM

“Another decade...”

“I’ll wait all that time, I promise.”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 02:08 AM

"...as long as I'm with you, I'm sure it can happen. I feel like... we could do anything, together."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 09:34 AM

*She smiled, embracing him.*

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 09:53 AM

"Anyway, sorry to... change the subject a bit." *He embraced her, too.* "But, I'm gonna be here for you, too."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 10:05 AM

“It was a very welcome distraction.”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 10:11 AM

"Well, I'm glad." *He kissed her with a light peck.* "...anything I can do that helps."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 10:34 PM

*She sighed and lay back on the bed, Nosy nuzzling her side and curling up by her head.*

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 10:34 PM

*He laid next to her, one hand holding hers, and the other on his chest.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Nov-20 11:17 PM

“What now?”

Haru-chan 22-Nov-20 11:25 PM

"I dunno- what do you wanna do?" *He gently squeezed her hand.*

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 01:11 PM

"Actually, sleep seems good right about now." *He kissed her on the cheek.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 09:48 PM

"Alright..."

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 09:49 PM

*He moved over and kissed her.* "Sorry I'm not too exciting."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 10:08 PM

“Same...”

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 10:09 PM

"Is there anything *you* want to do?" *He perked up a bit.* "We could have an adventure- fight the Gordon, or do something classical..." *Tim smiled at her, sitting up a bit.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 10:18 PM

*She only heard the classical part. Sleepily, she mumbled.* “Huh, is that a sex move?”

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 10:19 PM

*He chuckled and pulled a blanket over the two of them.* "Of course not, haha..." *He turned the lights off and began to fall asleep with her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 10:19 PM

“Huh?”

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 10:20 PM

"Probably... sleep..." *He was exhausted and fell asleep almost immediately holding her hand.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 10:34 PM

*She mumbled something, putting her head next to his.*

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 10:55 PM

*Half asleep, be whispered.* "I love you..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 11:16 PM

“Thanks...” \*She mumbled. \*

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 11:16 PM

"You're...welcome..." *Bonk*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 11:18 PM

“Huh?”

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 11:19 PM

"...thank you for electing me... Mayor of Circuit City... I'll do everything in my capacity-" *He was genuinely asleep.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Nov-20 11:29 PM

*She slept.*

Haru-chan 23-Nov-20 11:30 PM

*Exhausted, he drifted even deeper into slumber...*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Nov-20 12:05 AM

*She rolled around for a few minutes, becoming on top of Tim.*

Haru-chan 24-Nov-20 12:08 AM

*Tim, sleeping, rolled about, dreaming about climbing a tree.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 12:18 AM

*She rolled right off the bed, asleep the whole time.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 12:19 AM

*Tim sleepily reached toward her direction, putting the blanket over her, then shivering a bit.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 12:40 AM

*She lay half on the floor, half on the bed, completely asleep and oblivious.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 12:40 AM

*Tim got up, rubbing his eyes. He smirked at the sight of her and lifted her up, once more, in a princess carry, then laid her down.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 04:38 PM

*She continued sleeping.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 05:32 PM

*Tim got up and sat at a table, drinking a drink of his blue raspberry lemonade, then decided to read a bit.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 05:57 PM

“Mmhmmmmm....” *She mumbled in her sleep.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 05:57 PM

"You okay, Katie?" *He sat next to her as she slept.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 06:37 PM

“Hmmm...mmhmm.mmmm...” *ZZZZZ*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 06:38 PM

*Tim sat up and got dressed.* "...can't be helped. I can't get back to sleep- might as well stay up."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:10 PM

*She rolled right off the bed, wrapped in the blankets, which cushioned her fall, and thus, didn’t wake her up.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:11 PM

"I see." *He wasn't fully dressed yet, but stopped and knelt down to pick her up again.* "Gonna have to tie ya down?" *He laughed a bit as he placed her back down.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:23 PM

“You can tie me up anywhere Tiny Timmy...” *She mumbled, thinking her dream was taking a sexual turn.*

1

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:25 PM

*Tim was taken aback but that, blushing a bit and blinking twice.* "...I, uh... I'll take that into consideration."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:25 PM

*She remained asleep.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:27 PM

*He sat back down, silently getting prepared for... **whatever** was gonna happen later that day.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:28 PM

*She woke soon, about half an hour later.* “Oh jeez...” *She yawned.* “What time is it?”

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:29 PM

*Tim, not wearing a watch, looked at his bare wrist.* "Oh, you know... quarter past a hair, half past a freckle..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:31 PM

“Huh?”

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:33 PM

"...about fifteen til 'aged joke.'" *He laughed to himself, then put his vest on.* "You must have been tired too."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:39 PM

“I was having this amazing dream... and I don’t think I wanted to wake up until later...”

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:39 PM

"Ah. Sounds nice." *He sat next to her.* "Have fun?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:40 PM

“That’s an odd question to ask about a dream...”

*Her eyes narrowed.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:41 PM

"Well, sometimes I have fun in *mine.* Climbing trees, running around. Sometimes I dream I'm onstage again, haha. But then there's the weird ones."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 10:43 PM

“What kind of... weird dreams?”

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 10:44 PM

"Hmm?" *He laughed a little.* "You know, dreams about missing clothing items like shoes or pants. Or teeth falling out. Or hair- that sort of thing."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 11:16 PM

"Oh, haha.."

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 11:18 PM

"...then there's the romantic ones..." *He blushed a little bit at that, but smiled.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 11:21 PM

"Ahaha.. any about me?" *She laughed.*

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 11:21 PM

"Oh, just about all..." *He smiled warmly at her.* "...also one about a mermaid once. I don't know why, but it happened." (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Nov-20 11:48 PM

"A mermaid?"

Haru-chan 25-Nov-20 11:51 PM

"Yes, once. Strange dream..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 12:16 AM

“What do I do in your dreams?”

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 12:17 AM

"Lots of things."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 12:17 AM

“Like?”

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 12:18 AM

"We spend time together, laughing, playing. Makes me think someday they'll be more than just the... two of us..." *He was a little embarrassed.* "...eventually of course."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 12:20 AM

“Yeah, yeah, in the future...”

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 12:21 AM

"Of course- gotta get that ship first, right?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 12:21 AM

“Mhm.”

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 12:22 AM

"I love you... just... thought I'd say that today."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 12:41 AM

“I love you too.”

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 12:52 AM

"I'm glad. Anyway! Any plans today?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 01:48 AM

“Whatever you want to do.”

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 01:48 AM

"Now, that's not fair..." *He gave her his best Jimmy Stewart look, kidding, of course.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 01:45 PM

"Whatever..."

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 01:46 PM

"I'm only joking. But really, as per usual, I'm open to suggestion."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 10:46 PM

“Come on... pick something to do, I’ll do anything you want to.” *She sighed.*

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 10:46 PM

"And I'm of the same mind- there's nothing in particular I *want* to, you know?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 11:15 PM

“I don’t know what to suggest.” (edited)

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 11:16 PM

"...me neither." *He chuckled a bit.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 26-Nov-20 11:48 PM

“Uh... I guess... wanna get some food?”

Haru-chan 26-Nov-20 11:49 PM

"Sure! I can socialize a bit, how about you?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-Nov-20 12:44 AM

“Oh, huh, you’re gonna go out and talk?”

Haru-chan 27-Nov-20 12:45 AM

"Well, not just *talk.* I kinda meant it as a joke... I should probably get better with humor."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-Nov-20 12:45 AM

“Oh... sorry, uh, if you wanna socialize, you can, I’ll hang back here with Nosy...”

Haru-chan 27-Nov-20 12:46 AM

"That kinda defeats the purpose of doing things together, doesn't it?" *He took her hand.* "Is something wrong?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-Nov-20 12:47 AM

“No, nothing’s wrong, I’m just kind of tired.”

Haru-chan 27-Nov-20 12:48 AM

"Oh- if you'd like, I can stay. I'm just happy to be here. Can I get you anything?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-Nov-20 12:50 AM

“No, I just want to sleep, you can go out if you want.”

Haru-chan 27-Nov-20 12:50 AM

"You sure?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-Nov-20 12:55 AM

“Yes, I am.”

*She held Nosy close.*

Haru-chan 27-Nov-20 01:02 AM

*He kissed her on the cheek before leaving.* "I'll be just a commbadge away."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-Nov-20 01:03 AM

“Alright, see you.”

*Once Tim had left, she lay back on the bed, thinking. She felt stressed, but didn’t want to admit to herself why. She loved Tim dearly, but, she couldn’t help but feel she was losing her independence, she had always thrived when left to her own devices, now though, she felt like she was with him 24/7, not that there was anything wrong with that, but she desired her alone time.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-Nov-20 11:13 PM

*Before the event, Katie snuck out*

Haru-chan 28-Nov-20 10:30 PM

*Tim entered quarters, tossing his bloody jacket to be recycled, and sinking into a chair. He'd considered drinking some of his soda, but decided against it. He stood and got himself a glass of Andorian ale, taking a seat with the glass, but not drinking it. Simply holding it, with a slight shake in his hand...*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 01:47 AM

*She wasn’t here, despite having claimed being tired. Nosy was here, though, and sensing his male master was in distress, hopped right into his lap.*

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 01:55 AM

*Tim set the still-full glass of liquor aside and pet the small cat, smiling a bit as he felt the warmth of his fur in his hands. He felt like he could fall asleep with the cat, though he might not...*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 01:57 AM

*Nosy purred affectionately, nuzzling Tim.*

*Katie entered.* “Hey...”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:04 AM

*Tim, with still a bit of blood on his gray undershirt, gave a weak smile.* "Hey..."

*He continued to pet the cat, though his emotional state **was** questionable.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:09 AM

“Oh my gosh, are you okay?”

*She rushed over to him.*

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:10 AM

*Tim let out a deep breath, and stood- yes, it was his blood, but he was alive.* "Physically? I can't lift anything for a while- doctor's orders." *He grabbed the drink he poured earlier and took a drink, wincing as the alcohol went down.* "Emotionally? Well," *he chuckled,* "...where do I begin?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:11 AM

“Why didn’t you call me, I had no idea you were hurt!”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:12 AM

"...I'm fine, for now at least." *He removed the soiled undershirt and sat back down.* "...it was, uh... one hell of a day."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:14 AM

“What happened? I... I heard the captain...”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:17 AM

*Tim nodded, looking a little more grim.* "I started out the day going to notarize a document. Then the captain got taken. Then Stryker and I led an away team mission, I... *bravado'd* until Max could get the shield down. And then I lost it when the captain..." *He looked away and shook his head.* "...I lost it. I took my knife and just went at the Makonian... and I couldn't leave a scratch on him." *He sniffled a bit, with his head in his hands.* "...I couldn't save the captain- I couldn't stop him-! If I'd only got through the shield sooner-"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:21 AM

*She hugged him tightly.* “It’s going to be okay...”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:22 AM

*He hugged her back, sobbing a little.* "...I couldn't stop it. And we all saw it..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:29 AM

*She squeezed him tightly.* “Youre okay, you’re okay.”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:31 AM

*He nodded a bit, wiping his tears.* "I.... I know." *He squeezed her back, then sniffled. He pulled back, and gave a light smile, then motioned to the light scars on his right shoulder.* "...at least now I got a story to tell..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:41 AM

“I wish...” *She began and stopped.*

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:42 AM

"You wish what...?" *He stood up and found a clean shirt.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:49 AM

“I’m sorry I lied when I said I was tired.”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:50 AM

"I understand. We've been together a lot lately. I feel like we *both* could use some... time. I probably won't be good company for a while, anyway."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 02:54 AM

“I was going to say, uh, I’m kind of...upset we’ve been really inseparable, I guess.”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 02:56 AM

*Tim nodded.* "I can understand and respect that situation. Is there any way you can think of to address it? I love you, and... I'll do my best to accommodate." *His tears had dried, and he smiled at her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 03:04 AM

“I mean, I’m so happy together, and I love you, but, I just want to have some time to myself, you know?”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 03:07 AM

"I understand. If it's all the same to you, I... feel like I need some time, too. Especially considering my... emotional outbursts today. And getting my ass kicked..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 03:08 AM

“I-I still want to be there for you...”

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 03:20 AM

"And I'll be here for *you.* I'm just a... commbadge away."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 11:14 AM

"Y-You sure you don't want me?"

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 12:33 PM

"Of course I do- probably for forever, if you'll have me."

"But... if you feel we both need to be independent for a while, I can accept it. I love you, and I'll do my best to do whatever you feel is necessary."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 12:58 PM

"Nonono, I mean, just, it felt like we were spending all our free time together..."

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 12:59 PM

"I had noticed, and had no problem with it. But if you wish to spend some time away from each other, then by all means."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 01:01 PM

"Just... screw everything I said... forget what I said about free time..."

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 01:03 PM

"No- you felt it was necessary to bring it up, and, because I love you, I'm willing to negotiate, and to accommodate your needs." *He smiled at her.* "What kind of boyfriend would I be if I wasn't?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 01:24 PM

"I want to be with you."

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 01:26 PM

"I want to be with you too- forever, if you'll have me..." *He blushed quite a bit when he said that.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 01:34 PM

"I will have you." (edited)

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 01:35 PM

*He was speechless, and kissed her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 29-Nov-20 09:58 PM

*She kissed him.*

Haru-chan 29-Nov-20 10:54 PM

"So... forever, uh, means...?" *He was blushing and wide-eyed.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 30-Nov-20 01:15 AM

*She seemed to not hear, and turned away, going over to a bookshelf.*

Haru-chan 30-Nov-20 01:16 AM

"...alright..." *He went back to his seat, almost dismissing the subject.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 30-Nov-20 01:35 AM

“Huh?” *She said reflexively, regretting saying huh instantly.* (edited)

Haru-chan 30-Nov-20 01:42 AM

"It's nothing." *He smiled a bit dryly and stood, getting himself a drink of his blue raspberry soda.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 30-Nov-20 08:06 AM

*She nodded, and looked over to Nosy.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:24 AM

*She entered, flopping down on the bed.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:25 AM

*Tim had returned with Arrow, a present from his father, to the quarters. The large, friendly golden retriever happily sat down at the foot of the sofa as Tim carried his bags back inside.* "Well, here we are, boy! Hope you like it." *Arrow gave a quick, agreeable yipe.* "Of course- your mom's in the other room!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:29 AM

*Her eyes narrowed a she heard the commotion in the next room, not realizing it was a dog.* "Mom?" *She mumbled to herself.* "I don't remember being pregnant..."

*Nosy was curled up next to her.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:30 AM

*Tim walked Arrow into the bedroom, who jumped on the bed and licked Katie's face. Tim laughed a little as he watched.* "I don't remember you being pregnant, either... I doubt Jor-el sent another baby this side of the- nevermind..." *The dog immediately took a liking to Katie.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:35 AM

"What the-" *She looked up, seeing the dog, who, to her annoyance, was licking her face.* "Who's the dog for?"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:37 AM

"He's mine- ours, I mean. Unexpected present from the Admiral." *Tim sat down next to them and rubbed the dog's belly, who rolled over with his tongue hanging out.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:38 AM

"You.... you got a dog?"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:39 AM

"He was a gift- just like his namesake! He's a good boy..." *He continued to rub the dog's belly, who panted in response.* "...He's already house-broken, he's trained... he's a good boy!" *He patted the dog's belly happily.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:43 AM

"A... dog?" *She said, exasperated, and perhaps distastefully.* (edited)

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:44 AM

*Arrow slowly approached Nosy, whom he sniffed, then circled and laid next to him.* "They're already friends!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:45 AM

*This seemed to not be the case from Nosy's point of view, who was on-edge already.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:46 AM

*Arrow sniffed Nosy before laying on Tim's pillow.* "Damn it... dog... that's where I sleep!" *The dog was already snoring, quietly.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:47 AM

"I think Nosy and I will sleep on the couch tonight.."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:48 AM

"I'm sorry- I didn't know what else to do with him. It was... sprung on me."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:48 AM

*She picked up the kitten, who was arching his back, and strode out of the bedroom.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 02:49 AM

"Katie..." *Tim was visibly distraught, but didn't follow her outside. Arrow crawled up to him and laid his head on his lap, before letting out a sound that resembled a sneeze.* "Stupid dog..."

*Arrow whined for a minute, rubbing his head on Tim, who reluctantly started petting him.* "I'm sorry, boy... you don't deserve that. I'm just a little sad. Thought Katie would be happy." *Arrow whined again.* "I know, I know... you're a dog. I'm a human. Everybody needs a furry friend."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 02:58 AM

*Whilst Katie lay on the couch, Nosy hissed at the closed bedroom door. The large furry creature had obviously unsettled and frightened him.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:00 AM

*Tim stood up and opened the door- Arrow stayed in the bedroom. Tim stood in the doorway for a moment before talking to Katie.* "...I'm sorry I brought him here- I wasn't exactly expecting him, either..." *He walked in a little closer, but still a decent distance away from her.* "I thought you'd like him- I wanted to surprise you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:03 AM

"I'm sorry, it's just... I don't really like dogs, and I guess Nosy doesn't either'..."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:04 AM

*Tim gave a distressed shrug, visibly frustrated, and turned.* "...okay. I'll find him another home."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:06 AM

"I don't want to have to make you give up your dog just for my sake. If you want it, I'll just, find new quarters or something, I dunno..." (edited)

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:08 AM

"No- part of why I accepted it was that I thought you'd like it. But... screw me for trying to be spontaneous, I guess." *Tim tossed his jacket off and went to pour himself a glass of bourbon.* "...he's a good dog, though. I'll find him a home tomorrow."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:12 AM

"Sorry, I wish I told you before..."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:13 AM

"No, I'm sorry." *He downed his glass before taking a seat in the chair.* "I'll let him sleep out here, if you'd like to sleep in the bedroom...? There's enough room for the both of us, you know..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:17 AM

"You don't mind Nosy, right?"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:17 AM

"Of course not- I love him. And I love you. We're a family."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:24 AM

"I love you too, and he loves you too."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:26 AM

*Tim sighed, looking at the dog.* "...It's... stupid of me. But he is exactly like my dog- when I was a kid. Maybe I'm too old to think about silly stuff like that... I think I know someone who might wanna take him."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:33 AM

"Who?"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:34 AM

"Counselor Wyse. She's one of the only people other than you I've said two words to."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:37 AM

"Oh thats nice."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:40 AM

*Tim was quiet for a moment, then stood and took a seat next to her.* "I'm sorry. Again... I didn't want to bother you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:45 AM

"It's fine, you didn't know."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:46 AM

"...I didn't. But I shouldn't have sprung it on you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:53 AM

“Perhaps.”

“Hey, uh, I’m the acting Ops Chief, surprise...”

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:57 AM

"Oh! Congrats!" *He almost put his arm around her, but decided not to- he was afraid of bugging her.* "...I'm still the only JAG/SCIS officer, but acting third officer. Still, haha..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 03:57 AM

“Oh, cool...”

“I really hope I do well, maybe they’ll decide to make it permanent.”

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:59 AM

"...maybe with a promotion to full Lieutenant, perhaps?" *Tim smiled at her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 10:49 AM

“Exactly.”

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 12:13 PM

"Hopefully it goes well, then."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 12:19 PM

"Uh, also, I'm going to take the bridge officer test, and the Exec says I could study with you."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 03:55 PM

"Sure if you'd like. Dunno how useful I'll be."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 05:07 PM

*Tim returned.* "Counselor Wyse is taking care of him... there's nothing to worry about now."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 05:18 PM

"Oh okay."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 05:32 PM

"Mhm." *He sat back down.* "Anyway, where were we? Bridge officer exam?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 05:37 PM

"Yes."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 05:39 PM

"How can I help? I'm trained for Tactical, but I've got a nominal grasp on Ops."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 05:41 PM

"I just want to practice, really."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 05:54 PM

"Okay, holdeck time it is, then."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 06:03 PM

"Alright, lets do it!"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 06:05 PM

"Okay- question though: are you applying for an Ops position or...?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 06:05 PM

"It's the regular bridge officer course, the Exec didn't mention any differentiation between divisions." (edited)

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 06:08 PM

"Oh, okay. Just making doubly sure."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 06:14 PM

"Ok."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 06:14 PM

*Tim leaned back and held Nosy.* "Just lemme know when you wanna start."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 06:16 PM

"Can we now?"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 06:16 PM

"Sure- we can even practice on the Constitution bridge if you'd like, haha..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 06:24 PM

"Yes, lets do it!"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 06:24 PM

"We don't have to wear 23-century uniforms if you don't want to."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 06:26 PM

"No, lets wear them!"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 06:39 PM

"Sure- Enterprise, then...?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 06:52 PM

"How about...Constitution herself." (edited)

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 06:54 PM

"Oh, sure. Nice ship, haha..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 07:03 PM

"Mhm! Can we do it?" *She said excitedly.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 07:04 PM

"Sure. First time we've worn the 23rd-century uniforms since Halloween. Still don't remember that too well, though..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 07:17 PM

"Oh, wow, I didn't think about that..."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 07:20 PM

*Tim stood and went to replicate a uniform.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 07:35 PM

*She began to undress, and went over, and got her own uniform out.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 07:36 PM

*Tim dressed in a similar command gold uniform to what he'd worn before, with the Enterprise service patch on the chest.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 07:38 PM

*She took off the Kongo patch from last time, and replaced it with that of the Constitution.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 07:39 PM

"Okay, you ready?" *He dressed in the remainder of the uniform.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 07:46 PM

"Enterprise's patch?"

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 07:47 PM

"I'm kinda... I dunno. I preferred the Enterprise one, but I can be accurate if you'd pefer?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 10:42 PM

"Uh... your choice."

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 10:43 PM

"Okay, I'll go with the Constitution one."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 11:02 PM

“Okay!” *She looked excited.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 11:07 PM

*Tim made the necessary changes to his uniform.* "Okay, after you. Though my role will be somewhat less this time."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 01-Jan-21 11:10 PM

“I know.”

*She exited to the hallway.*

Haru-chan 01-Jan-21 11:10 PM

*Tim followed her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 08-Jan-21 06:03 PM

*Nosy was sitting dutifully at the door waiting for his mama to return.*

Haru-chan 08-Jan-21 06:04 PM

*Tim knelt to hold him.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 08-Jan-21 06:06 PM

“Aww good Nosy, you’re the cutest little kitty...”
