Let's do lunch

Crispin sat down at the table and looked at Elaine. “Well, Elaine, you should try the Hardin. It's a lot like Mince Pie, but do not ask what meat they use. Me, I have not the stomach to ask. Pun intended.”

 

Elaine was sitting across from Crispin wearing a sundress and smiling. “Alright, I think I shall. What do you plan on having?”

 

“The Hardin. To tell you the truth, it is like the only thing I have eaten here that I can find anywhere delightful in taste.” Wanting to keep the conversation light, Juhdia added, “So, you look lovely. How has your day been?"

 

She nodded at the compliment, “My day has been okay, but it is getting better... I'm getting to eat lunch with someone whose company I enjoy.” She smiled sweetly.

 

Crispin smiled back, “Why Doctor, I do think you are flirting with me.” He gave her a sly wink.

 

Elaine tugged on her ear, still smiling, “And how are you today?”

 

"Ah, yeah, well, what can I say? Better too, now that I am with you.”

 

Elaine leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. “And what have they had you off doing here? Taking tours as well, I suppose.”

 

“No, we have been helping them with their Aqua-Gation System. Funny, but for a race that is advanced enough to travel the stars, they have left other more vital areas of their home world sorely in need of repair and advancement."

 

“Well I must say that sounds more interesting than what we've been doing. I think we've seen everywhere inside of their main research facility, including the broom closets. They are quite large, lots of wonderful work being done... but not much to see, really. I am referring to the facilities of course, and not the broom closets.”

 

“Sounds like this whole thing is a dog and pony show. Have you spoken with anyone else about what you have seen and what they have seen?”

 

Elaine shrugged, “My team has sent their reports in like we're supposed to, but we've not had much contact with the other teams, no. Why do you ask?”

 

Crispin mused, “It's just I find it odd, that they only have been showing us the icing, but not the bunt of the cake. You’re seeing everything, except for what really counts as an evaluation of their medical technology, and me and my people only being shown the outer workings of the Aqua-Gation System. I wonder what Brian and the rest have seen. I am going to have a word with him about this and...”

 

Elaine ran a finger along his hand. “Do you really suspect them of something dreadful?”

 

“…well, I had an incident with one of the Surma.”

 

She looked up from his hand, “What kind of incident?”

 

“I was being followed, and I am sure he was not there to make sure I did not get hurt or lost. Does a person that is watching you to protect you hide in the shadows? Well, I kinda grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against a wall.”

 

Elaine squeezed Crispin's hand, “You did what?!”

 

“I was defending myself, I thought he was going to attack me. I have not lived this long without learning a few things about people, no matter what race they are. And these Surma are up to something. Just have one of your people wander off and see what happens.” Crispin rested his other hand on Elaine's hand to ease her.

 

“I really don't know if that's the wisest position to put one of my people. I would rather do it myself than send one of them.” Elaine relaxed her grip and just brushed his hand with her thumb.

 

"I do not want you risking your life. Have EJ do it."

 

Elaine laughed, “Please don't ask me to do that. Understand that I would rather risk my own life than live with the guilt that I put someone in a situation that was anything less than safe for them.”

 

“Okay, then have one of those nameless crewmen you have scuttling about in sick bay. But seriously, I would rather you not be put in danger. But then again, I could be wrong.

And again, how could I stop you."

 

Elaine brought his hand up to her face and held it there. “I promise I'll be careful...” She grinned impishly.

 

“I cannot resist that face. Also, you outrank me, Commander.”

 

“Ah yes... and what is it you always tell me?” Elaine spoke in a mock deep voice, “Don't talk work, we're here to relax.” Then in her normal sweet voice again, “So relax for a bit, Old Man. It looks like our food is here.” She kissed his hand before sitting it down.

 

“Yes ma'am.”
