“Certainly.” willow agreed as she considered. “Perhaps it would be best if we have you meet Doctor Walker, our chief of staff and he could help you decide?” she asked.

Aizala nodded thoughtfully. She knew it was a good idea and she knew that there was nothing wrong about asking someone else for help. Yet outside of medical situations where another person’s health depended on it, she never felt comfortable asking for help. But maybe this was her way of starting to learn to do exactly that. So after a moment of hesitation, she agreed, “You are probably right. I should introduce myself to him anyway. I’ll see about asking him then.”

bump :)

Ooc: oops sorry. Silke

Ic: Willow smiled. “ Good idea. He should be on duty in about twenty minutes so I’ll let you find him. In the mean time. Can I refresh your cup of tea?” She asked

OOC: No need to apologise Calé :)

IC:
Aizala returned Willow’s smile and nodded. “A fresh up of tea would be nice. Thank you Captain,” she said softly while thinking about the next steps she had to take and what she wanted to do with her career.

~Lt. Tija, Doctor (med leave)

Willow refreshed the tea and sat down with her cup placing the other cup in front of Aizala. “It’s funny isn’t it. How your career can start in one direction and end up totally in a different one.” She asked with a small smile as she brought the cup to her lips to drink.

“It is,” Aizala nodded and returned Willow’s smile. “As a child I never even dared to dream that I might leave Bajor one day to join Starfleet. But here I am. A doctor and Starfleet Officer. Despite feeling a little lost and … afraid at the moment,” she continued and then dropped her gaze to the cup in her hands before taking a sip.

~Lt. Tija, Doctor (med leave)

Willow nodded, “well hopefully we can help with that.” She said.

Looking up again, Aizala gave the Captain a warm, if slightly sad smile. “I hope so too. I don’t want to feel afraid. I want to be well again and be able to help others. I’m not good at just standing there watching while there are people who need our help.” Lifting her cup, she inhaled deeply with her eyes closed before taking another sip.

~Lt. Tija, Doctor (med leave)

Willow nodded. “I understand.” She did understand and considered quietly a moment while she drank her tea. Sometimes a moments peace was good for the soul.

For several moments Aizala sat in the Captain’s office in comfortable silence, letting her mind wander while slowly sipping her tea. Eventually she asked a little hesitantly, “Would you like to do something together one of these days? Maybe go to the holodeck or something?”

~Lt. Tija, Doctor (med leave)

Willow grinned “I’d love that. I used to enjoy rock climbing but haven’t had the chance to do so for a while.”

Willow Taylor
CO

Aizala nodded rather hesitantly at the mentioning of rock climbing. Lowering her cup to her lap, her head slightly bowed, she admitted, “I’ve never been rock climbing and … I’ve stayed away from mountains whenever possible since …” Her voice trailed off and for a moment it seemed as if she was quite figuratively curling in on herself. But that only lasted a short moment. Quickly her back was straight again, her chin lifted and she added in a slightly detached voice, “But I’d be willing to give it a try since it’s something you enjoy and haven’t been able to do in a while.”

~Lt. Tija, Doctor (med leave)

Willow nodded “we could start small, some climbing walls rather than outdoor spaces if you’d like to get a feel for it.” She said ponderously.

Aizala smiled at Willow with gratitude at her suggestion. “That sounds like a good idea. Thank you, Captain,” she replied before taking another sip of tea. Lowering her cup a little again, she asked, “When would you like to go climbing and what do I need to wear and bring?”

~Lt. Tija, Doctor (med leave)

Willow grinned. “How about next week sometime, we can wait till you are settled in. Basic comfortable clothes and good training shoes would work well.”
