Shev had just left sickbay still in his pt clothes, ankle bandaged. He had nothing to do at the moment so he figured he'd tour the ship. Good as anything else he might have thought of. Limping a little he headed to his quarters and threw on a uniform.

"Now, who to check up on? He wondered as he walked along. "Do I bug engineering. No, they're busy enough as it is" he said to no one in particular.

"Do you always have converations with yourself commander?" Lhaes asked as he came up to the XO from behind. "Do you require assistance? You seem a little unbalanced sir."

"Wow. Didn't hear you coming' Shev said, antenna swiveling in Lhaes' direction. "Lately.' he smiled. "Sort of helps me think" he said. "Oh, I'm fine. Just hurt myself running" He cleared his throat..

"That tends to be the idea," the Romulan chuckled, "not hearing my approach I mean. How did you hurt yourself running?"

"It's stupid really. There I was going down the corridor and my ankle popped." Shev said. "More embarrassing than painful."

"Have you had such incidents before commander?" Lhaes asked, concern creasing his brow, "do you have a history with this particular injury?"

"Never" Shev replied. "I was certainly surprised" he smiled in more of an embarrassed way. "And not in a good way"

"Obviously," the Romulan deadpanned, "and I see you already went to sickbay. surely the doctors told you to keep off your foot?"

"I'm stubborn." Shev said. "Not as much as General Shran, but stubborn" he laughed. "Also, to be useful where I can"

"You're hardly useful if you can't walk commander," Lhaes countered, offering his arm. "Come on, I'll escort you to your quarters."

"If you think that's wise." Shev replied, gladly taking the arm.

"I'm a doctor, what do you think?" Lhaes smiled, "so do you go running often?"

'Off and on ever since the academy." Shev replied. "Maybe once a week as a base line" he said, steadying himself.

"Perhaps you need to find yourself a different form of exercise?" It was a simple suggestion; if running was no longer an option, and Lhaes felt it really wasn't, then he needed something else. "Have you ever considered dancing?"

"Dancing. Hmm..never even considered it" Shev said. "Hmm indeed." He said, thoughtful tone entering his voice. "I don't know. I'd be a good routine change."

"it takes practice but trust me, it is excellent exercise. Especialy once you advance in skill."

"I'll definitely try it. But first home I think." The andorian replied.

"Home?" The Romulan turned his head. "Home where?"

"Quarters. Get off this ankle." He grinned.

Nodding, Lhaes offered his arm for support once more. "I'll take a proper look when we get there," he suggested, then gestured with his free arm. "Lead the way."

"Not too far." Shev said
