day 231 | video; | ota
[ helen appears on the feed looking composed as usual. she's not yet taking her duty shift at the clinic, so she's actually sitting at her table in her apartment. regardless, she's sitting up straight as usual. ]

As it seems we're to be inundated with new arrivals and familiar and unfamiliar faces, I'd like to remind everyone that the clinic is still operational. We're more than willing to see anyone who may need our help. Don't let anything keep you away if you'd like to stop by.

In the meantime, I'd like to pose a question I find myself curious about. I realize it seems we have little need for differing languages, but I'm curious to know which ones other people know. I'm fluent in a great many of Earth's languages, current as of the year 2011, both regularly used ones and ones that are considered "dead." No real reason for asking. Consider it the scholar in me who's truly curious.

[ she pauses for a moment, obviously on the verge of saying something else before she finally decides to continue. ]

Nikola, if you see this, answer. I'd rather not have you wandering around terrorizing everyone. [ she fully expects him to snap at her for this... if her instincts aren't correct and for once, she hopes they aren't. ]

I must say that I think any falling apart can be quickly repaired by one such as you.

[ Of course when she stands, so will he. He gives the top of his uniform a slight tug to straighten out any wrinkles and then walks with her outside. He clasps his hands behind his back and looks up to meet her gaze. ]

Cela a été un plaisir, Helen. Je tiens le reste de votre journée remplie d'une grande partie de la même chose.

I should hope so or else all of my experience will have been for naught.

[ her smile is bright at his compliment, more so than it has so far and perhaps almost a touch shy, but she doesn't put much thought to that. he is quite a wonderful person and she's finding herself more and more fond of the time they spend with each other. she's hoping they'll have more time in the future, despite her better judgment.

once outside, she turns to face him and takes a deep breath to steady herself. normally, she wouldn't have any trouble bidding her companion farewell, but she's discovered jean-luc picard is a special case in more than one way. ]

Je souhaite la même chose pour vous et j'espère vous revoir bientôt.

[ she's never been a hesitant sort of woman, more of one to just go for it, and often doesn't particularly care if she upsets anyone in her daily work because her work is far more important than anyone's sensitivity. however, here is a different matter. she doesn't have the protection of her name or the sanctuary network to hide behind if she unintentionally offends someone and the last thing she wants is to overstep her bounds with this man. she has come to care too much for him, but there's very little she can do about that now.

so, she resolves to greet him less formally when she sees him again, for she has little doubt that they will cross paths again whether she wants to or not, and simply offers him a smile and a firm nod in parting for now. ]

Until then. [ if he has no reason to call her back, she will turn towards the clinic and take her leave. ]

Until then. [ Jean-Luc will just watch her go. In fact, he'll watch her until he can't see her anymore and the air that had been momentarily thick and heady between them at their farewell has settled into something resembling normal. These feelings are unsettling, to say the least. Not unpleasant, just unexpected and unsettling. He resolves to study them further at a later date... maybe. ]
