Officer's Mess - George and Leonard

[dctr_mccoy]

*He was early for lunch, but Bones wasn't going back to his rooms, not just for a few moments* *Sitting at a table, he waited for Jim's dad to arrive*

*Rubbing his eyes, he picked at the food he'd selected from the mess. Today had been almost as bad as yesterday, and he still hadn't seen Jim alone since he'd dropped him off in his room early that

*George was right on time. A shower, comb the hair new set of the new uniforms, a few minutes to take care of the under eye puffiness so hopefully the doctor wouldn't inquire into his sleeping habits, and he was ready for lunch with his son's friend. Coffee, a sandwich and an apple should pass muster for a decent lunch*

Hey!

Hello. *standing up when George arrived, he extended his hand* Glad to finally meet you in person, sir.

*shakes firmly once the tray is set down. * Good to meet you too, Dr. McCoy. *takes a minute to look McCoy over*

*feels himself being evaluated and frowns*

Are you settling in alright, Captain? *takes a peek at his tray, nodding*

Black. *finishes his drink in one pull, takes the bottle and pours himself another, refilling George's as well*

Thanks...white or black? *continues to sip at his own drink*

Black. *watches as the pieces are set* How old were you when you - when the Kelvin exploded, sir?

About twenty six. A Lt. Commander...I was supposed to make Commander by the time we finished our tour. Settle down, teach Linguistics at the Academy. *moves first*
