Who: Jeyne and YOU!
Broadcast: N/A
Action: S.S. Blue Fish, S.S. Iskaulit, Anywhere
When: Jan 6th

Iskaulit

[Since hearing of it from Beverly, Jeyne visited the gardens at least twice in a week. With her lessons in medicine increasing, it seemed a wise idea to test the various plants and determine what sort of use they might have. With small samples, she is able to experiment and test, all mainly with herself (as she wouldn't want to subject anyone else to this.) Some plants are recognizable or close to what she knew in her world. For the rest? It's a guessing game.

Her latest project is a sweet smelling salve. When not attempting to mix it with other plants, she rubs it gently on her wrists, smelling the aroma with a small smile.]

Blue Fish

[From one type of experimenting to another. With very few patients to treat, Jeyne has begun to occupy herself with different skills, determined to learn them and no longer be a wastrel. She practices her cooking when able, sometimes not burning the meal and slowly making something that looks nearly appetizing. She continues her lessons with Beverly in medicine, dutifully taking notes. When not with Beverly, she reads over all the information she compiled, committing it to memory and practicing in her head. There are times when she wanders to the cargo deck, toying with her bow (sans arrows), muttering to herself as she works at her aiming.

It's a bit difficult without a target or arrows, but she doesn't intend to injure anyone...even if it would help improve her medical training.]

Comments

[Kitty hasn't been traveling to the Iskaulit as regularly since they arrived at the hotel. There hasn't been much time to spare between work and play, but she still stops in when she can for a good workout in the gym. Today, she heads to the gym by way of the gardens out of some protective instinct, wanting to make sure they're being tended to, not that she's ever been the one to do it. But it wouldn't be the first time she looked out for things in a subtle sort of way.

She doesn't recognize the girl sniffing her wrist, but when has that ever stopped Kitty from speaking to someone?

And, yes, Kitty is in close fitting workout clothes that show off her midriff.]

Making perfume?

[goodandtrue]

[She wasn't familiar with Kitty's appearance or know too much of her, save for what little Robb had said. When she spies the young woman, she is noticeably surprised by her garment, but says nothing out of respect. The differences of worlds still confused her, but she didn't wish to judge.

She beckoned Kitty forward, offering out her wrist.]

Something like that. Smell. [A hint of something similar to eucalyptus would surge back at her, along with other soothing scents.] It aids those that are short of breath.

[passingthrough]

Sure. I haven't smelled anyone's wrists all day. [She leans down taking a small sniff. If it was weaponized the woman probably wouldn't have tested it on herself. This is the thought process of someone from a far too dangerous world. Luckily, she also has the generally relaxed nature of someone who has been kidnapped by various overlords for the last few years.]

Do you have asthma?

[goodandtrue]

[She laughed at the quip, not thinking that anyone might be suspicious to her offer. She was proud of her accomplishments thus far and felt a bit like showing them off.]

No, but there may be others who will have need of this. Better that we know a way to treat them before a crisis occurs.

I imagine it will be soothing as well for those who are in hysterics.

[passingthrough]

Sure, but do you want someone hysterical getting that close to you? [She's teasing. She doesn't imagine the delivery system would always be the girl's wrist.] So, are you a gardener or a doctor?

[notanoptimist]

[He's on the Iskaulit often enough that he's beginning to be a familiar face there; the Caprine's fine and all, but the larger facilities on the Iskaulit make him feel more at home. The gardens are usually a good place to find a quiet spot to read - usually whatever medical texts he can find - or even just lounge for awhile.

He's occasionally run into other people there, but he doesn't often run into someone who seems to have a purpose in the gardens beyond just wandering around.]

Hey. [He glances at the plants around Jeyne.] What's going on?

[goodandtrue]

[She smiles at the familiar figure, pleased to see Dr. McCoy. They hadn't spoken since his arrival, but she remembered him well from that conversation.

She beckoned him closer, offering out the small bowl she used to mix the herbs.]

Experiments. Some of these herbs are unfamiliar to me, I thought to find the use for them.

[notanoptimist]

[He comes closer and takes the bowl, sniffing a bit at it and nodding before handing it back to her.]

Come across anything handy yet?

[goodandtrue]

[It was a mix of jasmine and sandalwood, or something that was close to it. It was hard to tell if they were the exact plants. They smelled like them.]

This should ease stress for those that feel overwhelmed.

[brainiest]

[ Hermione, with her own mini potions lab and garden on the Iskaulit, spends more time than she might be willing to admit travelling between the library and the cauldron, letting things boil and settle while she gets herself a new book to read or something to do on her communicator. It's during one of these trips that she spots someone else in the other garden and she pauses, her lips turning up into a smile. Hovering at the doorway, she pauses for a moment before she steps inside, not wanting to startle the other woman. ]

Something smells nice.

[goodandtrue]

[She smiled at the young woman, certain that she had seen her before on the ship. Holding out the small bowl, she beckoned Hermione forward. It was a mixture of something akin to lavender and chamomile, with a bit of sage thrown in.]

For someone who may have a bit of insomnia.

[She knew there were some who were likely to have nightmares, Robb included.]

I'm Jeyne.

[brainiest]

Oh! To help you sleep. It definitely seems soothing.

[ She walks over, leaning over to have a look - and, yes, she recognises Lavender and it puts a brighter smile on her face. It's not the sort of thing she's had a lot of time to play with in the past and she feels bad for it. ]

It's nice to meet you, Jeyne. I'm Hermione Granger. [ But then she pauses, considering, before she speaks again. ] Do you... Know Robb?

[goodandtrue]

There are some here who have nightmares, at least a few on my ship. This will help.

[The recognition earns a smile. She's not the best with herbs, but has a little knowledge from her mother.]

I do, he's my husband. You are friends with him?

Blue Fish

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka's making his usual rounds of checking up on everyone when he comes across her and her bow. A smile crosses his face, because there's little he likes more than a woman who can kick ass and take names on her own- or at least be willing to learn. He's all about lady empowerment (at least, since the last girl he poo-poohed on such matters handed his ass to him on a sliver platter). ]

Having fun?

[goodandtrue]

It doesn't work as well without the arrows, but I don't trust myself not to injure anyone.

[She laughed despite the aching in her arms. Bows required so much strength, as well as focus and speed. All three, she currently lacked.]

Robb started to teach me on the planet.

[alwayscomeback]

Maybe we can make you some foam tipped ones? You know. so they don't hurt anyone or damage anything. You could practise a little better then.

[That big ol brain of his is always working.]

That's great. It's always a good idea to know how to defend yourself.

[goodandtrue]

I should love that! Would it take much to create them?

[Smart Sokka, smart.]

That is what I have been told. I only hope I don't forget it all, should we face trouble.

Blue Fish

[stretchy_girl]

Have you forgotten that you need arrows to use a bow sweetling?

[Robb's voice rings out across the cargo bay from behind Jeyne. He's leaning against the bulkhead door with that same smile he's given her a hundred times before, teasing her gently.]

[goodandtrue]

[She gives that special smile that has only ever been reserved for Robb.]

I have not. I thought it better to work on my strength and the pulling of the bow before I actually attempt to shoot. My arm still trembles.

[stretchy_girl]

That'll go away with practice. [Robb nods, pushing himself off the wall and walking over to her, eyes twinkling at receiving that special smile, before asking her jokingly.] But who or what are you intending to shoot on a spaceship?

[goodandtrue]

No one. I simply want to practice my aim and do better than the last time we went hunting.

[She glanced over at him, her mind trailing back to their recent fight.]

You are not still angry at me?

Blue Fish

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb arrives at Jeyne's room late in the evening, somewhat surprised that he did not find her in his room instead. He doesn't knock and lets himself in as quiet as possible.

He wanted to come earlier but his duty as a security officer prevented him to do so.]

Jeyne?

[His voice sounds tired when he speaks.]

Are you still awake?

[goodandtrue]

[She hadn't slept well in the past week, not since the New Year's party. She stayed in her room, rather than sharing his bed as she had before. It hadn't been her intention to punish him, but she simply wanted the space to think and sort out her feelings.

She sat up, hesitantly looking towards him from her place in bed.]

I am. It's late, Robb.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

You are not coming to join me, I take?

[Robb leans against the door and crosses his arms.]

[goodandtrue]

I don't know.

[She didn't intend to, but she had to admit to herself that she missed feeling him at her side. The night passed slowly without him.]

I met Kitty today.
