Lieutenant Siaxx Dvald wanted to go for a swim as she turned her attention to the duffel she had slung over one shoulder as she had packed a simple black one piece suit as she had every intention of going for a swim.

She turned her head as she regarded Tressa who was here too. "Doctor." she greeted the other woman with a smile. "Where's Fives?"

"I don't know," Tressa said, turning off the treadmill and stepping off.

"Oh... You're not working out with him?" she raised an eyebrow as she looked down at the shorter human woman who came in about a half foot shorter then she was because Siaxx was two inches shy of six foot.

The CMO chuckled, "He and I are... friends, Siaxx. We're not joined at the hip."

"Ahh.." she indicated the pool with her head. "I've missed a good swim..." she admitted. "You still up for dinner in two days... Phoenix's parents arrive later today..." she admitted. "I'm nervous about it.."

"Yes, but I'm surprised Phoenix wants me there. I would have thought she wanted time alone with her family."

"She is having this dinner party at my place... and I'm doing the cooking.." Siaxx admitted. "We just started developing this relationship between us and I'm making food for her family... I'm not sure if I should be excited or terrified out of my mind."

Tressa draped her towel around her shoulders and took a long pull from her water bottle. "I'm happy that she has the chance to reconnect with her family. She deserves that."

Siaxx nodded. "Yes she does and... its long overdue as well.... fucking warden." she growled the last two words. "That guy is not even a human fucking being.... he is an.... evil thing." she regarded her superior and friend. "This is a guy who is evil in a way you never read about."

"I think she briefly mentioned him some time ago, but I didn't ask," Tressa said, shaking her head. "I cannot imagine what she went through, what her life has been. I'm glad she has you," she added softly.

"Phoenix is something else... despite what others think, she actually does care.." Siaxx then looked around as she quickly discovered that the two women were alone. "all these failures would not understand."

"Yes, she does care, and she is a good person. I don't always think she realizes that."

"That's questionable... but its more appropriate to ask... does she care if others know she cares.?" Siaxx inquired.

"Good question," Tressa said with a wry smile. "Perhaps the only question."

"Between you and me.... I see no reason to push her into changing who she is for the people here..." she commented. "if Phoenix decides that for herself then she should do it on her own.... right?" she looked down at the smaller human woman. "right..."

"A person can change if they want to do so, but I don't think Phoenix needs to change. I like her as she is, I just wish she liked herself."

Siaxx nodded. "In time... she will come around." she paused. "at least i hope she does.."

Tressa smiled and lifted her water bottle. "Here's hoping, my friend."

"Well you know my opinion on hope Tressa." Siaxx answered. "get two containers the same size, fill one with hope and fill the other with shit... observe which one fills first." she chuckled softly.

Tressa smiled wryly as she drained her water bottle. "Going for a swim, you said? Maybe I'll join you and cool off."

Siaxx smiled. "I did indeed.." she commented as she turned and led the way towards the female changing rooms after picking up her duffel bag. "How much time do you have before your next engagement?"

"I'm off-duty for the next twenty hours but I do have a date," she said with a shy smile.

Siaxx instantly cheered up. "A date... aww how romantic." the larger Bolian chuckled a she teased the smaller human woman. "I'm sure he's a lovely guy.... so.... who is he?" she inquired as she raised an eyebrow before smiling. "is he worthy?"

"Okay, it's with Tom, ah, Fives," Tressa said, purposely looking away from her friend.

Siaxx chuckled softly. "He's nice on the eyes and he quotes Shakespeare, what more could a girl want?"
