<div align="center"><strong>-=Dani, on board The Gamble, watching Griff stomp off the ship=-</strong></div><br/>From his posture, and the way he stomped grumpily down the cargo bay ramp, Dani knew that Griff had heard her calling, and that he was mighty annoyed with her.  She wasn't really surprised.  The Captain was notoriously tetchy when it came to being told what he could and couldn't do on<em>his</em>boat, and dressing him down, even in private, wouldn't sit well.  Watching him leave, the new new guy following in a much more relaxed fashion, the medic shrugged.  She wasn't worried.  He'd been angry at her before, but he couldn't stay that way long. He'd likely cool off with a tonic or six, or else get himself into a fight, and need her to patch him up.  That last thought caused a small line of concern to crease Dani's brow.  Hopefully Sasha would be able to keep in line.  The last thing they needed now, with both their pilots laid up, was for the Captain to be joining them.<br/><br/>Heading back the infirmary, Dani couldn't help but smile a little at the thought of what Griff would say when he learned that she had grounded both Mae and Vincent.  But then, maybe he would have already figured that she would be forced to take such action, and have a backup plan ready to go.  Thoughts of Griff were pushed from her mind, however, when she reentered the infirmary to find Mae not only up and about, against her explicit instructions, but astride a very much still injured Vincent.<br/><br/>"Mae!" Dani exclaimed.  "You should still be lying down.  And not on top of Vincent!" Dani frowned at them.  "And Vince...I thought I left you in charge of making sure she stayed where she was?"  She tried to sound stern, but the very obvious affection between the two young people touched her heart, and she wasn't anywhere near as annoyed as she was making out.  "Mei-mei...seriously, you need to lay down." Despite not being angry, her concern for the girl was genuine.  "On your own," Dani added, as Mae made to get comfortable where she was.<br/><br/>Helping a very reluctant Mae down from atop Vincent (who somehow managed to steal a quick kiss in the process) and back to her own examination bed, Dani continued to chastise them lightly.  "I see I'm not going to be able to leave the two of you alone.  I'll talk to Griff about dragging the cot from the engine room in here for the night. Looks like we're going to have a slumber party!"  The look on both of their faces was priceless, but Dani was serious.  She needed to do regular obs on them both anyway, so there was no point in sleeping anywhere else.  Finally getting Mae settled, she smiled down at the girl as she checked her pupils once again.  "Can I trust you long enough to turn my back, honey, or am I going to have to strap you down to keep you from accosting my other patient?"
