=USS Zion - Sickbay=

Silvio decided that a week was more than enough recovery time. He got up and dressed in his uniform. there was still some soreness but it was getting better each day. He needed to get out of sickbay. The boredom had been killing him. He had seen Ensign Favor on and off but now that he was getting better she did not seem to spend much time with him. When he was dressed he sat down on the biobed to wait for the doctor.

"Good morning lieutenant" She said as Teilani rushed into sickbay, "you're up early."

"Good morning doctor. I am hoping that you will clear me to leave sickbay and move into my own quarters." he said hopefully. Silvio was feeling a bit frustrated as he was not used to feeling so awkward around people and he felt really awkward around this doctor.

"Well," Teilani responded with a smile, "lets just see if I can throw you out of here." She noticed that Silvio felt uncomfortable around her. Why she did not know and it might be too soon to ask.

"Please lie back down." She continued, "so that I can check your vital signs for the last time." The scan revealed that Silvio was stable and getting stronger. "I will give you an extra booster, just to prevent a fallback. You can sit up now."

Silvio sat up as she was preparing the hypospray she picked up an empty vial. Suddenly Teilani turned: :Catch Lieutenant" and she tossed the vial at him.

The toss was a little off it's mark. The vial hit Silvio in the shoulder and bounced back out in front of silvio. Silvio reached out with is left and caught the vial on the rebound. Smiling at the doctor he handed it back to her and said "You should be more careful doc."

"Sorry if I made you jump, I just wanted to check on your hand an eye coordination and this is the best way to check it.", she gniffeled.

Silvio nodded.

"Well lieutenant, your fit enough to return to your duties. I will file my report for the captain and commander. They might be calling on you later this day. Do not forget to report to the counselor." Said the Doctor.

"Yes, I will get an appointment with her right away." said Silvio. As he walked out of sickbay he looked around for Ensign Favor. He did not see her. He thought she would be around today.

Teilani looked as Silvio was leaving, it was getting quiet at sickbay.

Silvio walked down the corridor. His stomach felt as if he had swallowed the entire matter/anti-matter conversion chamber. He felt as if he were a bird that had just been kicked out of the nest.
