Thirty-Seventh Check-Up

[doctoronboard]

Seems like we've got a lot of new people on bored.

I'm Dr. James LaPointe.  I'm the ship's doctor, so come see me if you get hurt, if you get sick, whatever.  I'm up in the clinic on deck two.

[brynkitten]

Hey, long time no talk...doin' alright?

[doctoronboard]

Yeah, I'm doing fine. How are you?

[brynkitten]

Not bad. Been playing piano a lot and playing with the rabbits...but I'm kinda going stir-crazy. Not sure what to do with myself half the time.

[doctoronboard]

Yeah...

[brynkitten]

[She inhales, holding her breath a moment before exhaling. She asks her question somewhat reluctantly.]

You and Haine are doing alright?

[doctoronboard]

...

Fine, I guess.

[brynkitten]

You guess?

[doctoronboard]

I don't know. There's nothing to say.

[brynkitten]

Huh. Well...alright then. Nevermind.

[doctoronboard]

I, uh, I miss talking to you.

[brynkitten]

You do?

[That surprised her. Not just because he missed her but that he said it aloud...]

Me too. Didn't wanna bug you since it seems like it's been so busy around here for crew.

[doctoronboard]

Uh, a little, but it's not too bad. I've been pretty bored.

[brynkitten]

Well I could always come visit if you want? Or you could visit me...I don't know. We could hang out sometime.

[doctoronboard]

Yeah. I'd like that.

[brynkitten]

Are you hungry?

[doctoronboard]

Yeah.
