Elizabeth paused as Siaxx drained the last of the contents in her glass. "Anyway... I know I've been a poor patient as we've gotten off of the subject." the small Bolian sighed softly. "I didn't mean to soak down all the time with your issues.."

"No Siaxx.. Its okay.. I had a free hour anyway..." Elizabeth answered softly. "I wasn't.. expecting it to be like this... I feel.... I'm not sure of how I feel to be honest.." the tall woman sighed softly. "Some counselor I turned out to be. huh?"

Siaxx narrowed her lips as she stopped to think about what she wanted to say. "No Elizabeth." she responded. "You care... thats never a bad thing.. you shouldn't have to feel guilty because you care.. So you have issues. thats just you living life saday'qaa." It was the Bolian form of address for 'trusted stranger-friend.' or 'friend from afar.'

Elizabeth admitted she didn't know the Bolian language that well but she knew that Siaxx almost always spoke flawless english rather then her own tongue so for her to default back to her native language in conversation was telling. "Okay... So... Let me try again... to help you."

Siaxx chuckled softly. "If you can.."

"Its good.. that you can still laugh." Elizabeth responded. "It truly is the best medicine. Better then a hot bath or a good, hard shag." the tall female then smiled.

"Thats how you survived being pregnant.. wasn't it?" Siaxx inquired as if realizing a great secret that was being held in plain sight.

"Yep." Elizabeth responded. "Sometimes being able to enjoy a good laugh is all you'll ever need or want. For me.. It works.." Elizabeth then sat back in her chair. "Kameron is a great help... He almost never manages to take himself too seriously ... He can also make me laugh.." Elizabeth regarded the small Bolian who was half her age. "I think.. that can help you too."

"You think so?" Siaxx sounded dubious, like she didn't believe it.

"I know so." Elizabeth answered, certainty coloring her tone of voice. "Appreciating a good laugh can mean the difference between letting something go... and holding a grudge.."

"Sounds like you learned a great deal over the last while."

"Yes.." Elizabeth answered. "I have made many mistakes..." the tall female regarded the woman who was about half her size and height. "You almost made your own mistakes... At least you tried to resolve things with Rachael.."

"I still can't believe she picked me up and set me on her lap...She held me in her arms in public just like how Jill would."

"That's probably because you two shared an intimate experience at one point or another... I assume down on the planet when you were stranded there." Elizabeth explained, upon seeing the look on Siaxx's face, it only confirmed what Elizabeth had suspected to be true.

"She told you?" Siaxx paused, shock written all over her face. "Its.." she sighed softly, wondering exactly how she was going to explain away this one.

Elizabeth raised a hand to stop her friend from thinking out the rest of what she was about to say. "Siaxx... Rachael didn't say a word of what she experienced down on Yeneer G." Elizabeth regarded the small Bolian seriously. "I also never asked, neither did anyone else... As its honestly nobody's business but Rachael and yours only. Besides.. my lips are sealed."

"I have your word on that?" Siaxx asked softly. "I know you guys are close."

"Not that close Siaxx... You didn't share, I didn't ask and this conversation never took place." Elizabeth then winked at the smaller woman. "And yes.. you have my oath. I take that most seriously as you know."

"I do... Sorry I didn't mean-"

"Do not worry about it. You needed to be sure and I do not need to worry about what happened between you two... Personally I think its romantic and cute... But thats me."

"I had no idea you were that liberal... I always assumed you were ultra-conservative." Siaxx explained. "I'm confused."

"Well... I've wondered what sex is like with a woman." Elizabeth answered. "I've been considering it now for many months..."

"Well Its not like sex with a guy. You must be gentle as she isn't in it for abusive sex... and you need to like lots of foreplay.." the small Bolian explained. "When you find the woman you wish to bed.. You'll know what to do.."

"Of course.." Elizabeth answered with a smile. "So.. What about you?"

"I'll go look at comedies that are funny. Clearly a few good laughs are what I need."

Elizabeth smiled. "Well I don't know about you... But I need lunch...and I think you could benefit too."

"Yes.." Siaxx answered with a smile. "I second that notion.. so.. Lunch then?"

"Yep.. Come on.. Lets get out of here." and with that the two women departed the office, heading for the Green Dragon on the USS Roanoke. rather then head down to the Dreamcrushers lounge.
