“I don’t want to be a bother. It’s not like I’m going anywhere again. At least, not soon, I hope. Didn’t realize how much I considered this home till it was lost.” She laughed but it still shivered her spine remembering its absence on her return… and no one knowing why or how.
Karina
DoctorStark looked intently for a second, “You really should stop doing that you know”.

She frowned a moment like a child being scolded. “Doing what?” She honestly didn’t seem aware of anything she was doing wrong.
Karina
DoctorStark had many expressions ranging from “I’m going to have to kill you now” to “I’m going to have to kill you later” but for a brief second his eyes showed something entirely new, compassion.
“You need to stop thinking and saying you are a “bother” because you most certainly are not anything of the sort”. His gaze broke slightly and showed a little confusion as if to say “Where did that come from?” He looked suspiciously at Laraan’s door and then caught Cherry grinning at him from the reception desk and his eyes shot wide as a very unfamiliar emotion hit him, embarrassment.

Oddly, it was Karina’s own look and feelings of embarrassment that kept her from recognizing them in Stark. “Oh… that.” She shrugged and shifted slightly in her stance. “Seems that’s all I was for a long time, both here and on the other station. Guess it’s a habit. I’ll work on it.” She smiled at him, the glow on her cheeks slowly fading. “Just keep kicking me in the sin if I forget. Deal?” This time her smile was aimed at him when he looked back at her.
Karina
Doctor“Deal”, he grinned and then let out a small sigh, “It’s been a very long time since I had a conversation like this. As you know I make time to catch up with everyone aboard so as to keep my finger on the pulse so to speak, but most of the time there’s the hidden quest for treachery and intrigue. Talking to you is just… normal. You have no idea how I’m craving some “normal” right now”.
Stark Nightstalker CIO
Karina sincerely blushed this time. “I think everyone could. I know how hard it was on this side. But I can imagine how it was for you all. Mirror Universe and alternate dimensions. This ship seems to be a magnet for them.” She smiled and nodded to him. “Normal sounds amazing. How about dinner tonight? My quarters? I promise a normal meal and normal company. How’s that sound?”
It was the boldest move the doctor had made in a very long time. She just hoped he wouldn’t laugh.
Karina
Doctor“Definitely up for that Karina,” Stark said without hesitation, “Mind if I add Laraan to the invite?”
Stark Nightstalker CIO
Karina nodded. “Of course. I don’t mind.” It hadn’t been the plan. But if they were a couple, then it would be nice to have them both there. Wasn’t making closer bonds on the ship her goal?
Karina
DoctorStark nodded his eyes a mystery, “Normal dinner, sounds really good, thank you for the invite”. He looked over at Laraan’s door, “It seems the lady in question might be a bit tied up at the moment and I need to get back to work. I’ll see you again tonight.”
He left on silent paws.

OOC Stark does dinner :-) Fascinating, thanks for that, I’ll look out for the thread.
She sighed. “So it seems.” At his eagerness for dinner, she laughed. “Normal dinner it is. See you this evening. About 1900?” She watched him go and nodded. “Well, looks like maybe things ‘are’ getting back to normal.” She thought to herself.
Glancing at the woman behind the desk, she smiled. “I’ll come back another time. Thanks for letting me hover.” Karina then turned and headed for the door and towards medical. Getting back to work would be a nice, normal, thing to do as well.
