It did connect but strangely his upper right thigh where she hit him was hard as metal and depending on the force of the blow it would hurt her elbow, while he didn’t move one milimeter and even more strangely, didn’t show any expression of even having felt it.
He did react though, stepping back and his expression became remorseful. “Oh, I’m so sorry I’ve startled you.” he said. Darn him, that had been a bad idea, but he had not expected her to react that way. His eyes scanned sickbay for the next hypo, the blow had to have hurt her ellbow.
“Does your elbow hurt?” he asked.

“Ow!” Karina growled thinking she’d swing and shifted enough to hit the chair. The angle was wrong, but she definitely hit something solid, and it wasn’t soft flesh.
Turning sideways in her seat as he stepped back, she cradled her arm. “Ummm… Kinda. Think I smacked the chair back to hard.” She forced a smile but the edge of her lip was between her teeth as she rubbed it feeling extremely foolish. “I’m sorry I swung. I’ve bee… We’ve been thru a lot lately. I guess I’m still jumpy.”
He quickly fetched a nearby hypo, getting a med tricorder as well.
Great, she thought to herself, wonder what the Councilor will make of my swinging at a fellow officer cause I wasn’t paying attention and got startled? Out loud she looked up at him. “Sorry, again. Was there something I could help you with?” She stood up, her good hand moving down to tap the screen clear as she rose and then went back to rubbing her elbow. She definitely bruise shortly, she could feel it.

He gave her a soft smile, thinking that there was a Starfleet Officer hiding in even the timid looking crewmembers. “First let me help you Karina.” he said gently in his deep baritone and quickly scanned her elbow. No fractures, but a bit of a swelling building up under the lower bone. He loaded the hypo with a pain killer and got a tissue regenerator.
“Just a bruise.” he said and took her upper arm gently in his left hand and administered first the hypo and then the dermal regenerator.
“I came to see why you were accessing my medical file. If you had questions about me, I’m happy to answer them in person.” he said frankly, his mismatched green eyes locking with hers.

Initially Karina tried to wave off Julien, but as he took her arm, she surrendered. “It wasn’t worth bothering you about, honestly. I was wondering if you had an allergic reaction to something the other night, or merely, as you said, too much real, rich food? Then I all but chased you into the gym when I should have let you go. You are a doctor, after all. Probably capable,” she sighed as the hard sting of the pain receded and the swelling began to recede, “ok, more than capable of taking care of yourself.”
She sighed and nodded with a soft smile. “Thank you. I’m sorry again for swinging. Maybe I need to turn the table so it faces the door.”
