Charlotte grinned, pleasantly surprised and pleased to hear the Klingon officer open up. She stepped further into the waiting area and away from the patient and Emery as he spoke and carefully noted the specific concerns that he was most worried about. Charlotte did not get a sense from Kestir that he was any sort of threat - only that he was quite the flirt and with a flair for the dramatic. Of course, Gath was thinking like a Chief Security Officer, it was his job to be predictive of the worst possible outcomes and prepared for them.
After taking in Gath’s relatively professional response and his assurances regarding Security’s presence, Charlotte was caught quite off guard when Gath threw her jab back at her. When he offered that she might be entertained by one of the holodeck’s special purpose programs, she was so close to laughing out loud that her right hand reflexively jerked toward her face to cover her mouth in an attempt to hide her amusement, her eyes watering from the effort it took to hold back her laugh.
“Well-played,” she conceded, after quickly regaining composure. “Well-played.”
“And, I don’t scare easily, thank you for noticing,” she added, a cheeky grin on her face.
“Though, I’m not too worried about C’had. He seems harmless. What we saw here was nothing really. If a patient isn’t actively trying to put hands on me or hurling insults, I don’t have complaints. A lot of people his age have high libidos, healthy self-esteem. Fortunately for him, he’s charismatic. I'm sure he'll make plenty of friends on board.”
“I doubt an unjoined person can ever really understand this whole symbiont thing,” Charlotte admitted. “But you have to think, being a centenarian with mobility issues one day, and then waking up with that body. I think I'd have some steam to blow off too."
