<div align="center"><strong>-=Simeon Gaorong - Galley/Lounge - surprise physician visit=-</strong></div><br/>Of the persons aboard able to intrude on Si's transition from eating to study, Dani seemed the least likely to actually do so. The veteran had noted her entrance when she first appeared but had paid her little attention, assuming she would pass through and be on her way in short order. The doctor's inquiry was unexpected, then, to say the least: "How's your breakfast, Si? Can I get you anything else?"<br/><br/>"Filling if not satisfying, Miss Marsden. Par for the course." Simeon set his P.A.D. aside and stood up as he spoke - only proper when addressing a lady - with a friendly smile warming his otherwise solemn features. His hands folded behind his back out of habit. "Thank you for your generosity, as always, but I am quite alright as I am. I was just doing a little homework for the upcoming landing. Nothing that cannot wait. Is there anything I can do for<em>you?</em>" He paused momentarily, glancing toward the pathway up to the crew cabins. "I could not help but notice your exchange with Miss Dearing earlier, presumably about the very same expedition. Were you perhaps inquiring after her tailor? I must warn you, I believe our First Officer attended several strenuous classes to learn how to wear some of those outfits she keeps for these events. Such dangerous garb is not for the faint of heart." Simeon's sense of humor, like the man himself, was most often understated in its execution, delivered straight with that sociable smile which, to suit the caution, had thinned somewhat to suggest a degree of fatherly concern.
