[Wildstrike....]
After checking into his office and receiving the good news, Vyynd heads to the bar, figuring that Katara would know where Rylan is. On Rylan's return back from the Medbay, Rylan steps out of turbolift 5 and heads back towards the bar. Seeing Vyynd walking ahead of him, Rylan smirks then suddenly shouts out, "VYYND!!" loud enough to rattle the deck-plates, just to see what the Security chief will do. tr`Khaine only keeps walking slowly down the corridor, as if nothing had happened. Rylan frowns disappointedly. "Elements, Vyynd...doesn't anything take au by surprise?"
Vyynd waits for Ry to get a little bit closer, then spins around quickly, "RYLAN!!!" his shout shakes the deck-plates as well.
Caught off-guard, Ry jumps back and falls on his rear-end. Shaking his head, he grins up at the secuirty Daise. "Au just *had* to do that, didn't au?"
Laughing insanely loud and proud of this, Vyynd answers, "Ie, didn't I?" He offers Ry a hand up, "How are au lately?"
Taking the hand in good humor, and rising to a standing position, Ry nods, "Better. Where au headed off to?"
"Actually," Vyynd brushes his hair in the usual fashion, "I was looking for au, wondering if au would like to share a drink...?"
Ry grins at first, "Ie. That'd be fine. Except..." the grin dies, and he starts pronouncing each of his next words separately and very distinctly, "Every-io... seems.. to.. think... I... have... a... problem." he shakes his head and continues on down the corridor. "I just can't figure that out." he looks to Vyynd, "Au seem to be the only io that knows I don't."
"Well, everyone has problems." Vyynd smirks, evading the issue, "But I'm talking about at the bar...meaning we'll stay clean."
Ry nods surprisingly agreeable to this, "Ie. I won't have much choice if we go there anyway. But au go ahead, Vyynd. Katara will give au anything au like. Me...near-aylihl*!" he frowns again.
< *like near-beer, you know ;) >
"Na, she would nah give me any knowing I'd be hanging with au. Can't trust any-io these days, I suppose." Vyynd scratches his neck a moment, "But, I have means to be celebrating, so I figure just sharing a normal drink and chat will work...?"
That perked up Ry's curiosity, "Celebrating, Vyynd? What' s the happy
occasion?" he opens the bar doors, then stands aside to let the Tal`Shiar officer walk in first.
tr`Khaine graciously walks ahead, orders near-aylihl for the both of them, then sits at their usual table. Rylan smiles over at Katara, and goes to pick up the bottles so she wouldn't have to deliver them, then heads on over to the table, tossing one off to Vyynd as he takes a seat himself. Vyynd catches the drink easily enough, opens it and sips a good amount out of it. "So, for once we're dining as true equals..." Vyynd smiles proudly, but thinks silently, laughing to himself, *...though probably nah for long, au accomplished bastard*.
Ry grins at him, "Au got ninte promotion, Vyynd?" he raises the bottle
towards him, "Good for au! 'Bout fvadt time!" he takes a small drink, then sets the bottle down on the table.
Vyynd raises his bottle in unison, "Hann`yyu Rylan." he drinks as well, but keeps his hand on the bottle after putting it down.
"Now that au have io, are au going to promote the others in ninte department as well?"
tr`Khaine scratches his head with his free hand, "Nah sure..." he laughs nervously, "Should I?" he asks with a weak smile.
Ry nods, "Au should at least look into it." he answers, tipping back in his chair as he folds his arms across his chest. "Especially after the Klingonsand the TimeShip..." he trails off a moment, then questions, "Surely some-io there deserves it?" then adds with a sly smile, "Like...Aeris, for instance?"
"Ie." Vyynd nods, looking more sure of himself now. "Hann`yyu again. I'm still getting used to this commanding gig...."
Rylan nods, his eyes looking down at the table as he thinks silently to
himself, *Ie...me too, actually...* Looking back up he asks curiously, "How're those training sims turning out, anyway? Still running those?"
"Of course!" Vyynd brightens up, "Could use au and D`Tarik, actually. A good commander and medical trainer would be helpful every now and then."
"Ie. I'm up for it." Ry pauses, then shrugs, "I don't know about DT...
though I do agree with au on that. Au will have to ask him." He glances at the bottle sitting in front of him, but doesn't move to pick it up. He hasn't drunk from it since he first set it down.
"Guess I shall then, at least leave him a message." Vyynd pauses to drink a bit. "How is Emni?"
Ry shrugs again. Bringing his leaning chair back down to the floor again, he sets his folded arms on the table. "I don't know..." he says quietly, "She was still in a coma, last I knew." he looks a little worried, "I did manage to make that gizmo for DT....."
Vyynd leans forward as well, clasping his hands together. "Good work
then...and sorry, I hope she recovers well."
Ry nods again, "I hope she does. I'm sure DT will do well with reviving her."
"Ie, and I trust your device will succeed perfectly as well...." Vyynd
offers.
"Ie, it'll work." Rylan raises a brow and hesitates before speaking, "Just na sure what kind of medicine went into the chambers...but I'm sure DT knows what he's doing."
Vyynd laughs briefly, "Of course. I could find out for au, but I think we can trust D`Tarik when it comes to his girlfriend." he smiles.
A relieved looking grin comes over Ry's face at Vyynd's collaborating his train of reasoning, "Ie. I'm sure he'll take the utmost care with her."
"Speaking of which..." Vyynd suddenly interjects, turning and glancing over at Katara, "How're things going there?"
Ry lowers his eyes a a moment, then looks over at the barmaid and smiles, "Going all right, I suppose." the smile turns into a sly grin, as his eyes shift back to Vyynd, "And au and Aeris?"
Vyynd burst into amusing laughter, "Well, when have au known me to keep anything *purely* professional??"
Noding sagely, and still with the grin, Ry answers, "About as much as I do..."
"Hah! Exactly!"
Out of nowhere, and in a curiously casual off-hand manner, Rylan suddenly asks "Au been to speak with the Khensia yet, Vyynd?"
This gives Vyynd pause, and he looks to the erie`Arrain with an oddly
serious look. "Why would I have?"
Ry grins and shakes his head in his familiar joking way, "Au should see her, Vyynd! Piece of work, that io." he nods to him, then looks over at the barmaid with a sly look, "Too bad I promised Katara I wouldn't fool around...."
Vyynd cocks an eyebrow at the other, "Aren't khensia-a meant to help
emotional problems, nah create them?" he grins slightly.
Ry shrugs and tips back in his chair again, "Well, she isn't much to talk to...but she's sure pretty to look at." he grins again.
"Hah, don't get in trouble now, Ry..." Vyynd warns.
"Oh, trouble usually manages to find me na matter what I do." Ry shrugs a little in dismissal of that, "But I'm na gonna' do anything." he nods over at Katara, "She's a good kid. I don't want to hurt her. And I did promise."
Vyynd smiles at that, "Good...I'd prefer if au kept the use of ninte legs for a while longer."
Rylan laughs at this, "Ie! Me too, actually!"
Vyynd chuckles, then finishes his drink, "Well Ry, I think I better head off to finish some work and then go train. Feel free to join me in a bit..."
Ry nods, and pauses to look back over to Katara before he answers, "Ie. Much later though, I think." he says with a slight smile. "I'll see au there...at some point."
Vyynd nods, "Understood. Jolan`tru Ry!" he stands up and bows, then walks off happily, handing Katara a nice tip for the speedy drinks and
eye-service, then leaves.
