On this morning, Kastarak had not slept at all. It would be his third night without sleep. The captain had been advising him the other day, but still, it didn’t seem to help much at this point. Kastarak felt distracted and his head wasn’t working properly (did it ever though?) and with a pad in his hand, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, three centimetres from meeting Pawl Batario’s forehead.“Mr Batario,” he said, “Forgive me, I did not see you. Are you alright?”
– Ensign Kastarak (Physician / counsellor)
“I am ok Ensign I should be asking if you are ok?” Pawl asked calmly and serine. “Whats on your mind Doc.?” Pawl asked carefully not trying to pry into the mans thoughts.

Pawl’s calm and serene state of mind surprised Kastarak, but in a good way. It gave him a sense of peace and calm, too, and he felt some of the anxiety (that he had apparently felt but not registered) subside.
Batatio’s question was an honest one, he could feel, not one asked for politeness, and therefore Kastarak ought to answer it with the same dignity that Pawl’s question was asked in.
“Very good. Thank you for your concern, Mr Batario. I have been unable to sleep lately, and that is why I have been absent-minded. Did I startle you?”
He felt an urge to ask Pawl to join him for breakfast, but knowing nothing of Pawl’s schedule or desires, he could not think of a socially acceptable way to frame that question, and stayed quiet on it – for now.

“I am sorry to hear that Doctor. Let me know if there is anything i can help you with to help you to sleep.” Pawl said calmly to the man. “And no you did not startle me. I guess I was a bit lost in thought to.” Pawl said feeling a bit hungry. “Have you eaten yet i mean breakfast?” Pawl asked quickly but calmly to the man. ” I could use the company since i dont know many here on ship and most have already eaten.” Pawl said logically to him.

There was something intimate to Pawl’s words. Let me know if there is anything i can help you with to help you to sleep. What could he, as an engineer, do to help him sleep? As such, there must be something deeper in what Paul meant. Kastarak made sure to remember this thought, and perhaps, he could pick up on it. Moreover, had Pawl ‘listened in’ to Kastarak’s thoughts? Sometimes telepathy was unconscious – not so much ‘hearing’ but rather picking up cues. And Kastarak wanted to spend breakfast with Pawl, the image of it seemed lighter, more serene. And moreover, he did need carbs to start his day. Maybe carbs would help him concentrate better, to continue yet another day in Sickbay.
“Thank you, Mr Batario,” he replied. “I should like that”.
He reached his arm out, indicating a direction for mess hall. “After you, sir.”
– Ensign Kastarak (physician / counsellor)
“please call me Pawl.” He said calmly to the man. “Thank you.” he said quickly. As he started off towards the direction of the mess hall. As he took it calmly walking the corridor so he would not loose the doctor. The walked down the corridor quietly was almost odd in the way this was going.
