[Bones has set up shop in the infirmary just like usual, despite being a cranky fifteen year old, and has managed to get his hands on some blue scrubs that... kind of fit. He does not look pleased to be several inches shorter and going through puberty again, but let's be real here people, Bones rarely looks particularly pleased about anything.]

The infirmary's still open. I don't care if I'm a kid, I can still operate a tricorder and administer hypos, so if anyone gets hurt, don't keep it to yourself. There're still people around who can help you out.

Jim, Arya- [Whatever he was going to say is getting interrupted by unhappy screeching, and McCoy picks up a plush tribble, opens up the velcro pouch where the controls are, clicks the switch over and the screeching is replaced with cooing instead.

That's right, he got a toy tribble for Christmas. And he just rolls his eyes and sets it aside. The cooing can still be heard off screen.]

Just tell me if you need anything.

I'm not a kid! [She paused.] Well, not all the time. Can I see it? Can I?

[damnitjocelyn]

Sure. Jane, right? [He handed over the tribble, which also vibrates and moves around a little if you pet it. It's an extremely realistic toy. :|]

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

[She sat down right there in the floor and pulled the creature up to her, giggling a bit as it moved against her.]

Yeah. Jane. I don't know you, though. You're a doctor, which means that....I don't like you. [She laughed.] Normally. [But tribbles and being a child meant that she didn't have to care.]

[damnitjocelyn]

My name's Leonard. And I guess I'm sorry if I've ever done something to offend you or... whatever. [As he has no idea about your society's version of doctors and why you're justifiably not fond of people using the title.]

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault. [She hugged the Tribble close.] You're just a swatchman. And they're all evil.

[damnitjocelyn]

Never heard of a swatchman before, kid.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

It's a doctor. [She paused, looking up to him from the floor.] And I'm not really a kid! I'm twenty!

[damnitjocelyn]

I call most people who're younger than me kid. Ask Jim.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

I don't know who that is. [She stood up and gave him the toy back.] I like that. You have funny animals for a Previous.

[damnitjocelyn]

It's from a planet I've never actually been to. People sometimes keep 'em as pets. One of the upsides of space travel, I guess.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

You travel through space? Even when you're not here? [Her eyes went wide as she stared up at him.]

[damnitjocelyn]

Yeah. I'm the Chief Medical Officer on board a ship called the Enterprise.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay! [That didn't mean much to her now, so she shrugged it off.]

Thank you.

[damnitjocelyn]

For what?

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Letting me play with your toy!

[damnitjocelyn]

You can have it, if you want. I don't have a lot of use for a fake tribble.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

[Big eyes again.] Really? Thank you! [She reached out for it again, giggling the whole time.]

[damnitjocelyn]

[He hands it over.] You're welcome.

[She hugged it close with a grin and ran out of the infirmary.]
