Her amusement was apparent. “Yes, but don’t forget that for the better part of the last decade I wasn’t able to drink much at all.” She tapped her knee. “Meds. So… I’m a bit rusty on my tolerance.”

Grabbing her glass of whiskey, she took a sip and leaned back in her seat, settling in a bit. “How have you been since we got back to base?” she asked, casting her deep gaze his way.

There was visible hesitation in his posture. He stopped swirling his drink for a moment before raising it and taking another sip “I’m not sure…” He raised his shoulders in a slight shrug “I’ve had close calls before, both for my patients and for myself for the last few years but this was a whole different thing” He turned slightly to look at her “It’s taken its toll on the staff I can tell, I may not know them very well but I can tell.” He chuckled “You know I don’t know if I could live without a drink for so long Captain. Even synthahol.”

“We’ll… talk about that point a bit later. Maybe not tonight while we’re drinking,” she said giving him a sideways glance. “But I know what you mean. I can tell too,” she said, tapping her head. “I can feel it everywhere I go. I don’t know that there’s much we can do but make sure anyone you know who is struggling talks to someone in Counselling. We’ve got a team for a reason. But otherwise, the social things are important. Make sure you do things outside of duty with your team, as a group or individually,” she said tipping her glass towards him as an example. “You know, do what makes sense,” she said with a tired smile before taking a sip.

“I try to” He took another sip “What about you Captain, what is it you do outside of duty besides getting your Medical Officer drunk?” He asked with an amused smile. He wondered what the relationship between her and his predecessor had been. Before the crash, he hadn’t had much time to read through his logs to be certain.

She laughed lightly. “Depends. I enjoy reading, especially poetry, and I am musically inclined. The piano in the Lounge is one I gifted the crew when we first got this new ship. It’s not unusual to find me playing late at night if I can’t sleep. Which happens more than I like to admit. But my downtime is sparse, so I make the most of it too. I do try to spend time with my husband when I can. Luckily he knew what he was getting into marrying the captain.”
