"Thank you Doctor..." She looked at her small outfit. "Could I get something more dignified and ... warmer to wear if I am to go to my quarters?"
"I believe I have a spare set of Medical scrubs; they are not the most fashionable of things but they should at least cover you up and keep you warm till you get to quarters." Ikumi ran off and came back with the light teal coloured medical scrubs.
"That will be fine, thank you." Spartacus accepted the clothing and turning her back slightly.
She put the pants on first, still under the wrapped part of the blanket without letting her unmentionable be seen, the shirt went on next before she untied the halter neck and 'dragged the wisp of a dress over the pants and handed it to the nurse. "Please burn that." Spartacus said almost coldly. "Thank you for your healing of my wounds and I will take it easy as I can use the rest, believe me."
Turning to Mr. Jacobs she smiled and reached to touch his comm badge. "May I?" She touched to activate it. "Open speakers to Spartacus Cabin." She said. "Good Morning ESHa, I will be there soon, please had a [untranslated term] type bath ready please." The closed the channel. "Can Mr. Jacobs take me to my cabin?"
New:
"You have been released into his care, logically you should be asking him. As it is at his discretion now." The Doctor replied, logically and a little dryly.
"Do excuse the Doctor, sometimes logic overrides her bedside manner." Ikumi gently replied. "Take care and go get warm. Goodbye and good luck, Counsellor." Ikumi said with a bow as as she readied to follow along behind the Doctor. "Matane Nate-san. See you the next time we need a fill in."
"Matane Ikumi-chan." He replied quietly. "Okay, let's get you back to your quarters. Who were you talking to? I noticed you had been listed as having Family quarters but I didn't hear who you were speaking to." Nathaniel asked, as he politely offered an arm and got them under way.
"My seamstress, she will have become worried over the time I had not checked in." Spartacus said as she tried not to shiver under the blankets. "I will have her start a warm bath and in stages get hotter and hotter until it is a pleasant soak." Spartacus smiled despite the puffy black eye.
"There would be a few girls on this ship that would almost kill to have family quarters, and it's nice to have friends around you." he replied, quietly. He did his best to keep eye contact but still take in the whole sight of the woman beside him. She seemed to allow him to open up, more than any other woman he had ever met. "Almost forgot, I'll need to drop you off and make a detour to Ops. I have your comm badge to pick up and I'll need my tools. Those quarters were due for a maintenance round, but it got stalled with all the commotion. It was on my to do list though. May as well sort it out while I look after you, right?"
"Just so long as the tub and door for privacy work you can overhaul the place for all I care." She admit. "The door is lockable and ESHa would not let you out of the common areas so feel free to work comfortably as you need."
She looked up as they near a door the computer noted as Spartacus Quarters.
[Quarters of Spartacus]
Nathaniel led her to the door,letting her arm go to allow her to enter on her own. This was her 'home' better to let her enter under her own power and get settled. He may be the one looking after her but he was still a guest by most standards.
"Sparta, where have you been." ESHa came to embrace Spartacus. "I was worried about you."
"I was worried about me." Spartacus said as she smiled to her friend. "I-is my bath ready?"
"Right this way, I suppose they did not have your records to know what they were doing to you?" ESHa asked Wile helping Spartacus cross the room towards the Main Bedroom.
"This is Mr. Jacobs, he was the one smart enough to get me to Medical, he has charge of me while recovering otherwise i would still be in that damn Triage." Spartacus said calmly. "Show him all the kindness and service befitting someone who has saved me."
"Of course Sparta." came ESHa's reply. "All the kindness you have put into me."
"Uh, I'll leave you ladies to it for a few minutes. I do have a comm badge to retrieve and I do believe that the replicator needs a service otherwise it might blow up in someone's face." he stated almost looking at the floor. i...I won't b long." He bowed gently and let himself out to go and get his personal tools and sign out her comm badge.
