Walking into the lounge, Alex saw the XO sitting by himself. "Commander. May I sit with you?" In hand, was a plate of spaghetti and an iced tea.

Engrossed in the book he was reading, Don was eating his toasted cheese sandwich, dipping it into tobasco sauce absent-mindedly. Until he heard the voice. His head jerked up and he looked towards the doctor. "Yes of course, sit down," he invited, putting the padd down.

"I can sit somewhere else if I'm bothering you. I just thought it would be nice to talk to someone."Alex replied with a smile.

"Oh no... Ive had enough of my own company..." Don smiled. "Please sit down," he invited. "In any case, we haven't really met officially," he added.

"One of the reasons I came and asked to sit with you."Alex said sitting down. He took a quick sip of his iced tea. ~Just like my mom used to make it, but it doesn't taste as sweet.~ Alex thought to himself.

Don grinned. "At least it is not in my office, behind a pile of PaDD's," he said. "How have you settled in so far?"

"Really good. The crew is really nice. The only problem is getting them to report in for their psych evaluation." Alex chuckled.

"What's new?" Don laughed. "I sometimes wonder why w are so reluctant to go... perhaps we don't like to be *evaluated*" he mused. "And I am one of teh guilty ones.."

"As am I. I haven't reported to another counselor since I was a lieutenant JG." Alex replied with a smile and a chuckle. He took a bite of spaghetti.

"Aha... you do know that we have another qualified counselor on board," he grinned. "Of course I will follow your example..." he continued like a cat that had a bowl of cream. "You have your an evaluation.... I will have mine....." he said with mock satisfaction.

"Yes I do. In fact, I will have to go see her. I accept your proposal." Alex replied with a grin. "However, can you tell me about this counselor that you know?"

"Good," Don laughed. "She is the Chief Diplomatic officer on this ship, but trained as a counselor. I think that was her original career," he said thoughtfully, remembering what he read about Ayren in her file.

"Well, I'll have to go see her. Look at the time. I must get going."

Don nodded. "Was nice meeting you, Doctor," he said with polite smile. ~Yay,... so he will miss the psych evaluation after all...the man might just forget...~ he thought behind the smile.

"Oh and don't forget to come by my office in about two hours. Counselor's orders." Alex stated as he walked out of the lounge.

"But this was it......" Don tried his luck, but knew that was without avail. "Ok ok ok...." he grunbled to himself and finished his food.
