Commander Torilla Yamaguchi walked up to the ready room door before she tapped the door chime, she wore her uniform and if one looked at her, she looked fine but one could see the new lines around her eyes and the new two or three grey hairs in her head.

Today she was wearing the skirt with her uniform vest rather then the standard uniform jacket, this had recently become her preferred style of dress, her uniform left her arms and shoulders bare which added to her looks.

"Hey... you in there Zara?"

"....Do I have to be?" Zara called out nervously from under her desk. She had just read the preliminary report of the fight with Elizabeth and she did not want to relay that news to the Yamaguchi clan.

Torilla tapped the door release, she entered before the door closed behind her. "Zara.." as she went over to the desk rounded it and she then sat down in Zara's normal chair, before she gently reached over the desk as she found herself regarding the whits of Zara's eyes and nothing else. "Stop worrying. I have not come to assault you or lose my mind... but... It is kinda hard to have a chat with you at present... please... come out?"

"OK... But don't blame me for the preliminary," Zara spoke nervously as she crawled out of the desk and palmed for her cigar box. "It's a possible psych case."

Yamaguchi regarded the smaller woman before she pulled Zara onto her lap. "Relax... you assume threats not in evidence, I am here as your Exec, first and foremost... I intend no harm to the prisoner... I'm letting JAG Handle this case... same with my husband... Jake is very upset about it but... we are not going to worry about it... so... don't think I intend you harm for something you didn't do..."

"I'll be the one runnin' tha Captain's Mast," Zara sighed. "I'm just worried the right call would hurt my relations with one clan or another."

"Zara... you are in command of this ship.... you're here to lead, not to be liked... Do not trouble yourself with the opinions of people who don't know the details."

Zara nodded in agreement. "Any other crazy stuff I need to be aware of?"

Torilla regarded the smaller woman. "Gabe and Savannah just had their babies last week so... I'm a grandmother to three now instead of one." she responded. "They somehow missed the fact that Savannah was pregnant with twins instead of a single child." she growled. "In any case." Torilla regarded Zara with a measured look of concern and calm. "You are worrying far too much." she paused. "Do you want to go for a walk?" she inquired, before a smile appeared on her desk. "I'm sensing you feel somewhat deprived.."

"You have no idea," Zara sighed in frustration before she hopped off Torilla's lap and headed to the door. "Seems like whenever we fix one problem, another crops up."

"I hear ya." Torilla walked behind the other woman, out of the office and into the turbolift. "Captain's Quarters." she smiled impishly at the smaller woman. "I never said where we were going... or what I was going to do to you when we get there.... but I've noticed you've been feeling deprived.... sex is a great stress reliever so I'll let you have your way with me."

"...Or are you using sex to butter me up for something," Zara asked in a playfully dubious tone.

Torilla smiled down at her. "I have no need to butter you up for anything" she responded. "I am simply going to assist you with an issue."

"Am I going to need a regenerator again?" Zara asked with a blush.

"Yes." Torilla's answer was as simple as it was uncompromising.
"It'll be worth it though. For you anyway.... which is the point of this."

"You're private lessons with Furban suddenly make me nervous," Zara teased.

"Mmmm.." Torilla smiled. "You should be... she's actually very good." as Yamaguchi gave Zara a rather evil smile.

"Beginner's luck," Zara teased a tad uneasily.

Torilla regarded the much smaller woman beside her as they reached their destination. "Well... What can I say... I benefit from it and so does Jake." she explained. "While my husband can't participate, I can share the memories and everything that goes with it.."

"Now you're just teasing," Zara spoke with envy as she walked out of the lift. "...So you like love the gal or something?"

"I don't love her but.... she is an excellent student, she learns quickly."
Torilla explained as she regarded the smaller woman. "You ever nailed a Deltan?"

"I don't want to," Zara shivered. "A night on their hormones in my system is enough."

Torilla almost purred softly. "Well I do have one little detail I need you to cure... Nalla is feeling rather terrified about the lack of security in sickbay." she commented. "I would like to move her to one of the senior officers quarters, down the hall from mine..."

"Those are for lieutenant commanders and higher, I'm afraid," Zara spoke apologetically. "And I'm not rightly sure how Siaxx would take it, as she seems to feel inferior to Nalla's medical skills ever since being rescued."

"Well if her rank is an issue... promote her. I don't see the problem."

"We'll talk to Siaxx and Olmos then. See if we can't get a consensus," Zara agreed. "She can move across the hall from you, albeit quietly, for the moment... She having social problems again?"

"She is, Yes... she's burying herself in the lab and I think she has good cause this time... medical personnel have been attacked, her apprentice, my daughter was the one who got her face smashed in." Torilla explained. "That's Lieutenant Benice Gyce's domain and I'm not going too interfere, as much as I'd like to...." she responded. "that temptation is... just overpowering... I'll be honest." as she regarded the smaller woman next to her. "The truth of what happened will come out at the Captain's Mast.... But I can't help you run it... because Elizabeth is family to me... and while I am still your Exec... JAG would never permit it."

"Have you and Benice actually sat down and talked about the elephant between you two?" Zara asked out of curiosity.

"No," Torilla responded. "I don't want to deal with her."

"You've given several screwballs a second chance on this ship... What's stopping one with her?" Zara asked out of curiosity.

"She locked up my baby who was pregnant," Torilla growled. "After what she did to Elizabeth and Rachael... She'll be lucky if I don't strangle her."

"Elizabeth walked into that.. Can't really say the same with Rachael," Zara shrugged. "My point is... She's a cop. A good one. Damn good one - Don't tell her I said that. But her problem is that she's gone from city life to country. And tried to use the hardline most city cops do."

"Yeah well... it doesn't work... Elizabeth I'm not worried about." Torilla commented as they reached their destination. the two entered the Captain's quarters. "Rachael kinda got netted in that one.... she was standing up for her friend and beat cop nailed her for it."

"So rather than be angry at her for not adjusting fast, help her," Zara prodded gently. "She's not got any friends, so far as I can tell. Let her be exposed to our crazy people in an off-duty evening."

Yamaguchi regarded the woman who was half her size. "Alright... I'll do that... though she might go insane.."

"You didn't adjust well at first either, Dear," Zara snickered. "She just needs time, I think."

Torilla raised an eyebrow. "Well considering how we got to know each other." she indicated the other door. "It was right through there.... after you spent a couple of hours making me moan." she indicated the bedroom. "Still." Torilla commented as she indicated the bathroom before she began to strip. "Shall we?"

"Does she have friends?" Zara asked while she casually undressed.

Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea..." she admitted as she finished removing the last of her clothing.

Zara hit the shower nozzles on and stepped in. At first she squealed from the water being cold, but quickly adapted to it.

"Well since I chastised her on her white knight stupidity with the naked folks, she hasn't been all that visual on the bridge," Zara pointed out with concern. "Her assistant chief does that duty most the time... Think I was harsh on her?"

"Yes actually. I do." Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow. "I read April's after action report along with Rachael's and Elizabeth's.... you publicly humiliated her... If I'm giving her another chance... then so are you." Torilla regarded the woman who was half her size. "Also... what's with the looks between you and Fives?" she inquired. "If I didn't know any better... I'd say you had a thing for him."

Zara put her head under the faucet to hide her blushing face. "He's just a guy I fucked," she tried to counter offhandedly.

Torilla regarded Zara's lithe form. "Really... Zara, you need someone around who can make you feel better about yourself... you do drink and smoke a lot. Thankfully medical tech these days is better now then it was in years gone by... but aren't you afraid.... that maybe you'll find out bad news when you talk to him... or maybe you'll like what he has to offer you."

"He does have a nice ass..." Zara noted as she licked her lips in memory. "But he's like a monk. Which is very intriguing and also boring."

Torilla sighed softly. "Zara. seriously... you try too hard...he is not expecting you to convert." she raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you go watch him train, Holodeck six, Oh eight hundred. You might get lucky."

"I got lucky with him before..." Zara sighed happily with the memory. "Not a bad guy at all... In fact, he does this trick with his - Never mind." Zara blushed once more and stuck her face under the flowing water.

Torilla raised an eyebrow. "Indeed." she raised an eyebrow. "You worry too much." as a smile graced her lips. "So... go fuck him again."

"I can't..." Zara sounded a bit sad by that admission. "What if he can't separate personal with professional like you and I do?"

"You don't know him.... do you?" Torilla regarded the small woman before her. "So before you start assuming things... why not go find out how the man thinks.."

"Not while I'm enjoying shower sex with a half-trained acolyte of The Deltan," Zara teased. "...Or do I got that backwards again?"

Torilla regarded the smaller woman. "So.... I'm in the way here?" she inquired as she regarded Zara. "I'm not hurt by it... its time you found someone for you Zara..." she commented. "Someone who can complete you and make you feel alive... give you what Jake gives me."
