On The Wrong Page

“The boots may not be practical or safe on this ship. Maybe at our next port of call you can help me pick out same safer footwear. As for being able to work I have worked under worse environmental conditions and in worse physical health. This busted…” She was going to say wing. A particular turn of phrase that she picked up from another host. She stopped herself in case that would be offensive. “arm is nothing. I even watched a pregnant doctor in the middle of labor deliver another woman’s baby. Besides if I need help I got a big strong man to help me.”

Talerian nodded as he listened to the doctor. She seemed to have her share of difficulties in her life as well. Since he never took the time to get close to anyone, even among the hawkmen he was not sure the best way to respond. He replied, "Well if the opportunity comes I can offer my limited thoughts on better foot ware if you wish. My people prefer sandals but I learned that different species had different shaped feet so their needs will be different. Since we will traveling together for a while we should make the best of it." Then Talerian looked at B.O.B. and saw he was doing a good job as he gave him additional instructions on the cleaning since the med bay needed to be sterile clean for emergencies.

She took him up on his offer to relax while he and the cute little robot did the work. She went and laid down on the examination table. “This one is more comfortable than the last one I had.” Be perfect for a particular exercise routine the host knows. Vroo knew she wasn’t being subtle and most men would have grabbed her and bent her over this table long before now. Is Talerian gay? Maybe his wing ding is busted. That reminds me I should get all the crew in for a physical. Except Piya. She scares me. She probably wouldn’t agree to do it anyway. Not even sure what to look for in the Cap’s species. I’ll need to research her species. I’ll need to find her….. Talerian bent over to do something and Vroo lost the ability to think.

Out of the corner of his sharp eyes he caught the doctor staring at his backside with an odd expression on her face. Since he was not used to females ogling him he was at a loss on what she was doing. He turned to her with a confused look on his face as his head tilted to the side. He then asked, "Doc are you checking out my wings because this is the first time you have met a hawkman or are you in pain from your injury? I am a bit concerned if you are in pain, but if you are curious about my people, feel free to ask your questions. I am no expert but I can tell you what I know." Talerian appeared to be genuine in his statement.
