<strong>Day 1 - 1849</strong><br/><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3f/Yul_brynner.jpg)</div>Character: Dr. "Tiger" (Ty) Nadami (Lt. Cmdr. Aono Tsayafa Nadami), CMO<br/>Location:  Officer's mess<br/>With:    O'Connor<br/>Doing:  Sherbet and conversation<br/>Tagging: open<br/><br/>His expression grows sombre at the mention of Roger as he comes back to the table with the glasses of sherbet, handing one to the Captain. "I'm glad to be able to help in any way I can Captain," he says earnestly. "Truly. I'm sorry never to have gotten to meet Roger -- from what I've heard of him he sounds like he was a fine man. I'm very sorry for your loss."<br/><br/>The thoughts of Neyenue come back strongly, making him pensive. Among all the complicated feelings surrounding his memories of his estranged wife -- the yearning, the anger, the disappointment, the bitterness, the resignation -- the one he rarely thinks of is<em>reassurance</em>: the knowledge of her being there for him to have feelings about. Like it or not, he's relied upon it over the years. He wonders what it would be like to have to face the universe without that reassurance... as the Captain does. His eyes fill with the sympathy that wells up in him as he looks at her.<br/><br/>"And," he adds aloud. "I'm relieved to hear that you feel at ease in my company. I don't get much opportunity for social meals either. It is always pleasant to have someone to talk to... and it's especially important that you and I feel able to be completely open with each other."
