Lieutenant Siaxx Dvald walked into the lounge as she went over to the replicator as the doors opened behind her and in came the pregnant Executive Officer. Torilla smiled as she came in
before moving over to Siaxx. "Yo... been around long?"

"Nope, just got here myself... what'll ya have?"

Torilla smiled. "I'm gona have the Pizza, I am eating for several afterall"

Siaxx sighed. "Torilla, seriously.."

"Yes... I'm hungry.. you are worse then Rachael.... and thats saying something."
the older woman sighed softly. "Siaxx... let me eat myu lunch in some peace would ya...."

"Why... am I mothering you?"

"Yes Siaxx... you should be mothering Phoenix... I don't think you worry enough about her."

"I do..." Siaxx sounded almost unconvinced.

Torilla regarded her old friend. "Siaxx... stop blaming her for what happened six months
ago, it was something she regrets more then you do. Her family all but adopted you as
one of their own....I happen to know she worries about you and that she loves you."

Siaxx cast her eyes down at the table as she sighed softly. "but you don't know what happened-"

"I do...I really do.." Torilla responded quietly. "Rachael shared her memories with me, I felt it
as she felt it..." the older woman explained.

"but it still made me feel broken and worthless.." Siaxx commented
"But you don't see things from my prespective... do you?"

"Jake and I have never come to blows but I've seen him in every mood from deliriously happy to gone insane with rage and everything in between but... I've never feared him.... and thats what
all of this is about.. isn't it Siaxx... Fear..."

"But-"

"No.. listen to me Siaxx... you've been afraid of Phoenix because you fear the beast lurking within you... I've seen you get angry... you can't control it when you finaly do lose it... I've known you too long for you to simply deny it..." Yamaguchi explained. "Ask Rachael... she's seen it too."

"Oh... go on?" Siaxx inquired.

"Stop hurting Phoenix.. because you do, every single day... you harp on her and you nag on her and you provoke her... I see it all of the time... so do others... so decide Siaxx what you want because she's getting sick of it... " Torilla was raising her voice untill she was almost shouting at the Bolian woman across from her.

Siaxx wasn't expecting the change in Torilla, it caught her flatfooted as Torilla growled. "You are the greatest cause of her misery... you think she likes being reminded of what happened on that oversized space mushroom that-" she was interupted as she watched Siaxx snicker and try not to laugh.

Torilla sighed as she wanted very much to smack Siaxx across the face but instead Torilla looked at the barkeep. "Could you grab two of the heaviest bottles you have.. charge them and the cleanup to my tab please.?"

The Bartender chuckled softly as he produced two bottles of crown royal but he proceeded to empity them both into another container, then he slid both bottles down to the Commander who picked them up using her mind before hurling them both together with cataclysmic results, the bottles almost fused together before shattering into a billion fragments as Torilla snarled loudly. "Siaxx... What is it about this conversation that you do not understand!" she growled angrilly. "Listen to me carefully, stop hurting Phoenix... or I will fuck you up....Is that clear enough for you!" she almost screeched at the Bolian woman seated across from her.

Siaxx looked at her, almost frozen as Torilla rose to her feet. "I've got duty.." and with that she got up, she plucked her tray as she went over to the replicator, with a soft growl she placed her tray into the replicator and with the tap of a display.

Torilla cast her eyes back to the Bolian who seemed to be weeping before she turned back and walked out of the lounge, now truly angry.
