And we're up at this hour because...?

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::props door to Enterprise's obs lounge open with foot, studying padd in hand while waiting for jenay_paris to trail in::

::scratches neck, moving away from door as she moves further into room, trailing that teddy bear::

We can't be here long if we intend to get any sleep at all tonight...

::moves to glance out viewport briefly::

[lieutenantkim]

::was safely esconced on a sofa going over data when familiar voice broke reverie::

::looks up, straightening slightly::

::sighs::

Getting old, Paris? It isn't even 1900 hours yet.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::jerks head in surprise, glancing back::

::curls lips upward, shrugging::

Getting young, actually. I'm on the youth schedule these days.

[lieutenantkim]

Uh-huh.

::moves own gaze away, straightening and bending forward to feign interest in little girl at knee, staring curiously::

You have him trained and broken in already, don't you, Jenay?

[ltcmdrtomparis]

That's just what she thinks.

::drops jesting tone, moving away from viewport and to sofa::

::flops down beside lieutenantkim, taking a look around sparsely populated room::

So, Harry...you're always trying to catch me for a little buddy time. Here's your chance.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

And here we go. Thanks, Harry.

::glances down at toddler, scratching chin briefly::

Flotter is...well, he's...blue.

Similar to a rather tall Bolian. With gills. And more shiny.

::reaches over her knees, grabbing padd from where she had let it fall on cushion::

::pulls up actual picture::

There we go.

[jenay_paris]

::stares at image on screen::

Blue Bol'an. Blue Bol'an...

::amuses self, beginning chant::

Flotter's a blue Bol'an...

[lieutenantkim]

::grins at jenay_paris as ltcmdrtomparis slaps a hand over his eyes in agony::

Close enough, I guess.

I've got a whole bunch of the Flotter adventures saved, I'll put them on a padd or two for you.

::slants eyes::

If I can get permission, that is.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

Why not, she isn't likely to let it rest now anyhow...

::pauses::

A whole bunch? And you brought them with you here?

[lieutenantkim]

Not this time.

You know, if I had any clue whatsoever where all of this was coming from-

But I don't.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

Come on, now...there was a time...

[lieutenantkim]

Yes-it was a long time ago. A good decade or so past, if memory serves.

::laughs shortly::

I think I fell somewhere between Meghan and Jenny on your temporary radar screen, then there was B'Elanna and all bets were off.

Don't expect me to believe this is some decade old attraction festering back up.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::bites lips, rocking heels on deck in frustration::

What if it was, Harry?
