Answering meant slipping entirely out of character and normally she would never allow that. But this was different and they were alone. And so Shara allowed the utter pride and awe to show in her voice. “Better than anyone I’ve ever seen who has tackled the trauma and situations she has. Just got married too.”

~Shara Calloway, Proud Mama

Ryley smirked slightly. “Really.” He said. “Well good for her.” He seemed slightly smug for some reason as he ran the beam again over each fracture site and then turned it off. Taking her hand again he held it up. “Make a fist.”

Though her hand felt stiff, Shara was able to make an easy fist and release her hand.

Satisfied he switched the regenerator and began running the smaller dermal regenerator over the minor skin wounds and bruising. “You’ll need to catch me up when we get that drink.” He said locking eyes with her.

“Indeed,” she said softly. Yes, much to share that was not crossing any lines of confidentiality.

It was at that point that their conversation was interrupted by a slightly shrill voice of an NE in teal who appeared in sickbay and watched them her mouth open in shock.

“Mister Ryley! What are you doing!” She demanded crossing to them and looking even more appalled seeing the regenerator in his hand and the hypo spray which Ryley put quickly into Shara’s other hand before turning to the NE. He feigned shock and looked between himself and Calloway.

“Let’s see…I’m standing, treating fractures…with a regenerator so….I’m going to go with…doing my laundry?” The tone and expression dripped sarcasm.

NE Uncover made a sort of shocked squeaking sound. “You can’t treat patients!!” She hissed.

“Clearly I can.” He said as if declaring Calloway as exhibit A.

Shara just grinned.

The NE began to shoulder her way in under his arm to help support him and simultaneously drag him back to his bed. “Get back to bed!” She hissed at him. Then yelled “Bailey!” Over her shoulder into sickbay.

To Calloway she said. “I am so sorry I’ll be right with you once I get him back to bed.”

“Why? I’m all done,” Shara replied.

“Top of her class this one.” Ryley said to Shara as he allowed the Doctor to shepherd him a few steps then unhooked himself and stepped back. “Ok ok don’t have an aneurism I’m going.”

And go he did giving Calloway a two fingered salute as he pulled himself back onto the biobed and allowed the flustered nurse Bailey who arrived looking confused to put his blankets back on.

Shara winked at Ryley before slipping back into her persona.

The NE hurried back to Calloway. “I am so sorry…” she started again.

Raising her brows, Calloway slipped off the biobed. “You better be. This ship need people to be patched up when the need arises. An empty Sickbay is ridiculous. Do your job next time rather than have patients be better at it than you.” She flexed her hand again, and gave a nod to Ryley. “Much obliged. Not bad for a gimp.”

She didn’t even wait for a response from the NE before striding out of Sickbay with purpose.
