"Yeah, you could say that."
Like that is it? You’re not getting off that easily.
Mara made a mental note of that reaction, even as Robin quickly quietened down. The Security Chief wasn’t going to cause an issue whilst she was undergoing treatment. Once it was over however…
"I'll let Beka know after she's out of surgery. Save us an incident where he shows up in Sickbay and we have to call you guys down here." Mayfair gave a light laugh that Calleja didn’t return. "Which I know you'd enjoy entirely too much." She paused to clear off the last bruise. "OK, you're all set. You can hop down. The ache shouldn't last more than a few hours unless you're planning on doing a strenuous workout or beating up some more poor defenseless Klingons."
“I’ll leave the preyin’ on the weak to the slavers. I prefer it when they put up a fight, for all the good it does them,” Mara replied, levering herself up and retrieving her clothes. She dressed again as Robin updated her.
"Most of your people should be out of here shortly. K’Deela’s going to be off the list for at least three weeks, though. A month would be better. She'd gonna have some serious rehab to do with her arm and her lung capacity will need at least that long to recover." The purple-haired nurse paused. "Thanks for letting me know about what happened over there. And I'll contact you if anything more interesting shows up in the samples and autopsies."
Calleja sat back down on the biobed. She still ached but under Mayfair’s expert care, that was fading fast.
“Thanks for your help, for my crew and me. I feel better already, genuinely,” she said with a nod. “But you’re holdin’ out on me. Ramius. What’s he actually like? What have we got runnin’ around the ship? Have I gotta keep an eye on him?”
The Amazonian Lieutenant waved a hand as she made her best guess on why her friend had suddenly stopped talking.
“Never mind the Sydesh angle,” she added. “I know you’re close with the ginger nut. Whatever I think of her, she ain’t gonna give me the chance to chuck her head first in the brig. But that reaction earlier, that tells me you had an issue or two with him. I’d like to know what they were. Woman to woman. You know me, I’m not gonna go runnin’ my mouth. Pretty sure I’m well known for the exact opposite,” she joked. “I just wanna know what I’m dealin’ with.”
Mara knew all too well that she could be intimidating without meaning to be. That’s why she was sat down and why she was trying her best to keep it friendly. But she was definitely keen to find out what she could about Artemis’ newest arrival.
Re-arrival? Whatever.
