“You and my sister are sort of friends right.” He started. “ Do you think I’ve maybe been not so nice about being not so ok about leaving earth and the whole Doug thing?”

Cai

Brad took a deep breath, then slowly released it. From his understanding of the situation, that was about as big an understatement as saying Romulus was currently only a bit broken, but for as much as teenagers often claimed they appreciated adults being direct with them, when adults were direct it tended to have adverse effects…

So he tried taking a diplomatic path.

“I think you could have handled it somewhat better, yes,” he began. “There’s a little bit of fault on both sides, on Willow for not giving your opinion more weight, yes, but also on you for not giving her side more consideration. Your sister likes being in space, she was given another opportunity to command after the incident on the Saracen I understand you share a little responsibility for, and she took it. She gave Doug the chance to come with her, but he didn’t want to go. You had to come because she’s still your guardian, regardless of how close to of-age you are.”

Chief of Staff

Bump for Cale

Cai sat quietly watching the Doctor and played with his lip ring contemplative like. The incident with the Saracen had been his fault…she had taken the blame for him but really . “Ok…so what you’re saying is spray panting the answers to the math final on the wall of the gym was bad and being a dick to her since also bad?” He asked and sighed. “What should I do?” He asked earnestly.

Cai

“If it was me,” Brad began, ” I would start by being less stand-offish. You’re not going to repair your relationship by hiding in your room blasting music loud enough to basically function as a sonic shower. After that, maybe just have a long talk with her and find something that you two have in common that you can do together the next time she has any time off. “

Chief of Staff

Cai rolled his head around his neck. “Fine, I get the point.” He chewed his lip ring quietly a moment and stared ahead of himself as if he were trying to organise his thoughts,

Cai

“So did you come down here just to ask me that, or were you doing something else down here and I just happened to be conveniently nearby?” Brad asked. He’d gotten the impression that Cai didn’t particularly like Sickbay. Understandable, for someone of his age, particularly for someone as accident-prone as he seemed to be, but he also didn’t look particularly sick or injured.

Cai chewed the lip ring. “I was watching Drake in surgery, he kinda made me think about stuff and whatever.” He shrugged. “You know Will, it was a logical avenue to venture down.”

Cai

Brad nodded, taking in the new information. Honestly, he didn’t know what to think about it. If Cai was developing an interest in the medical field, there were certainly worse role models on board than Drake Marshall. There were also several better options… At least it wasn’t Jarvis.

“What did you think of the procedure?”

Lt. Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff

Cai shrugged. “It was kinda kool i guess.” He accidently bit his lip and frowned. “I dont like the sounds…in sickbay. He didnt use the frame.”
