Charlotte was beginning to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t Kestir’s blatant flirting that had her rattled. She was more concerned about the way the Chief Medical Officer was calling everyone’s behavior out publicly. While the advice she was giving may have been sound, taking each individual aside would have saved the potential for a lot of embarrassment.
She cleared her throat somewhat loudly as if to remind everyone that she was present. “Well, I think everyone is old enough to make their own decisions."
She turned to Kestir and good-naturedly added, "And I’ve certainly seen more disruptive theatrics in Sickbay than a little strip tease. What’s important is that you’re well. And now that we know that you are, I think we can all joke about this later."
She smiled at him, though was careful not to send the wrong message. She was reaching for a sisterly vibe, as opposed to a flirtatious one. "And, no need to apologize on my behalf, you seem like a spirited person, and I'm sure we'll enjoy having you on board these next three weeks. We can find some other ways for you to have fun while you're here as well.”
