Tasha looked at her watch again and frowned. It wasn't like Thorix to be late. She flopped onto the wall of a fountain near where they were supposed to meet because she just couldn't seem to stand anymore. She would wait five more minutes then she was going home. She would rather be in the sunlight of Jamaica than standing on a starbase when she didn't have to anyday.
Thorix snuck beside Tasha and sat down. "Sorry I'm late. We were having lunch with the Commander. That was until Seungo's new boss showed up."
Tasha arched a brow and glanced over at Seungo who looked like he'd seen a ghost. "You alright?"
Seungo shook his head. He wasn't even over K'Rish yet and already they replaced him...with another version of him. He blinked at Tasha, tilting his head slightly and opened his mouth to speak but the words just didn't want to com out. Taking a breath he turnbed away and raked his fingers through his hair.
"Thor? What's wrong with him?" Tasha questioned.
"The new CSO," Thorix whispered to Tasha. "Is a Klingon."
Tasha's eyes widened. "Oh!" she said. "Go--" she reached out and touched Seungo's shoulder. "Just remember this new guy isn't K'Rish. Just keep that in the back of your mind and it shouldn't be hard to move on."
He turned and looked at her then. "I suddenly don't feel much like company. I'm going to the Scorpion to see if I can start recaliberating security settings. I will talk to you guys later."
Thorix watched Seungo leave and wondered what it would be like to love someone as much as the Ensign seemed to have loved this tough headed pain in the ass--er--Klingon. Though their relationship was a tad unorthodox, and highly illogical for reproduction, it was real. Turning, he looked at Tasha who was still looking after the Korean male.
"Should we go after him?" Thorix asked.
Tasha shook her head. "No. Sometimes, people need to fight their own battles; especially when they're fighting demons. Do you still feel like shopping?"
Thorix shrugged. "We should do something to take our minds off these horrid situations. Sitting around here feeling sorry for it all will not make things better. For the next little while, everything is right with the galaxy."
"Thor! Are you starting to ride along this positivity train?" Tasha laughed.
"Don't rile me woman," Thorix said trying desperately to sound serious.
Tasha simple laughed harder. She doubled over with her mirth. "Oh I'm sorry!" she laughed again. "But it's hilarious having a vulcan say those words..."
Thorix laughed and walked off towards the stores on Starbase Omega, "come on." He called over his shoulder.
Tasha chuckled and jogged to catch up. She wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "Well my friend, now we are in my element."
Thorix moaned. "Oh brother."
