<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d9/HenryJones.jpg)</div><strong>Character:</strong>LT Commander Henry Jones (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Henry_Jones)<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Near the two ladies<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Stardate 41056, early evening<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Ashley and Alanah<br/><hr/><br/><br/>Both his eyebrows went up at once in a cheerful expression accompanied by a smile when the commander addressed him and said she'd show him a good place to grow his herb. "Ah. Yes. That would be most useful, commander. Thank you. Perhaps if I can get a good batch growing here I can take some from that for a bit to keep potted in the kitchen." That made him happy. Surely he'd get a good crop of it with her help. After all, if the botanist and the agriculturist couldn't make something grow, who could? There was probably a joke in there somewhere...<br/><br/>He turned his attention to the engineer and nodded as she spoke. "Yes. I can. I'm actually off duty as of... about five minutes ago. So I can pretty much go where I please now." He chuckled slightly. "Should probably go check on the ensign I left in the kitchen anyhow. She's a sweet thing, but a bit clumsy." His eyes widened slightly at the thought as he recalled the mess that was made just the other day as the young officer had spilt an entire pot of soup. How she managed it Henry hadn't a clue. He was good natured with it though.<br/><br/>Attention diverted somewhat, he recalled what he had been doing not five minutes ago and turned back to the commander. "Oh, commander, I just finished my check on the apple trees, they'll bare fruit soon. Everything looks in order, I would like permission to increase the water cycles just a tad in the next couple of weeks, please? Not much, just enough so it lends for juicer fruit. They seem a tad on the dry side anyhow." And then there was that obnoxiously friendly smile of his.<br/><br/>Though the smile faded somewhat as he finally took notice of the little succulent at the commander's feet. "Oh. Poor thing." He said sympatheticly. "Did it get too cold or something?" He asked. It was the first thing that popped into his head. He remembered having his aloe plant back on earth and leaving it on the porch the first really cold night of the the year one time and it kinda shivered up and looked sad. But he managed to bring it back to life and that same plant was now sitting in his quarters.
