(Risa– Suraya Bay, West beach-CO Captain Trip Williams & CTO/3O Lieutenant
commander Ravok  - 1500)

Trip was running along the beach with Layla, trying to get a bit of a
workout in before the conference. He was wearing running shoes, so as to
not burn his feet, gym shorts, but no shirt. He was in paradise and was
going to show off. As his muscles gleaned in the sunlight and Trip smiled
looking forward, knowing that people were admiring, but trying to be cool
and not acknowledge it, he was taken by surprise when something came out of
nowhere right in front off him. Shocked, confused, not sure what to do,
Trip lowered the shoulder and barrelled through the obstacle almost on
instinct.

As soon as the surroundings of the transporter room disappeared, Ravok felt
like he was hit by a ton of rocks as fell to the sands of the Risian beach.
During his transport he landed right in front of Trip.

“Ravok, you alright man? What gives?”

Standing to his feet and brushing the sand off of his uniform. " You ran
faster than our calculations Captain, I'm sorry."

“You could have just called. Who is on the bridge?”

" I left the bridge with Ensign McGinty for the moment. I need to ask you a
question."  Ravok responded as he looked out at the ocean. The cool breeze
from the water blowing on his face.

“Like I said before, you could have just called.”

Ravok looked back at Trip. " I could have , but I need to ask a personal
favor. I think it's better to ask in person."

“Ok? I mean, but you could have told me you were coming. Would have saved
you some pain. What’s the question?”

" Well, I wanted to know if you or Ash or both could watch Rayna tomorrow
night?

I trust the two of you and I don't want to leave my daughter in the care of
a hologram if I'm planet side.”

“I mean….well….I guess….” Trip said not sure what to say, “It’s just, this
is kind of our last vacation before Drew and well I was kinda hoping to
well….”

Ravok raised his hand. " I'll return the favor. "

“Look, you’re working hard, you want some freedom. I get it. Ok, you have
my yes, but before I commit, I want you to ask Ash. I need to finish this
run, shower, and then get ready for the conference. But if Ash says its ok.
Then yeah, I guess we’d love to watch Rayna.”


Ravok laughed slightly. " Checking in with the wife ?" He asked Trip
jokingly

“I may be the Captain, but she’s the boss.”

Ravok smiled. " When Drew is born you have a baby sitter whenever you need
it. This really means alot to me. Typically I'd ask Ne…" He stopped at a
loss for words and took a deep breath turning his gaze to the sun lit
waters. " Nesha. She always wanted to see a beach ,a real beach." Ravok
smiled half heartedly.

" I'm sorry "

“Hey...look...it’s been hell getting here. Alright. It hasn’t been a month.
It’s ok to be sad.”

" Yeah." He said turning back to Trip.

Trip then gave Ravok a bro friendly slug to the arm. “But if you think for
one minute, that the sap, make Trip feel bad because my cousin is dead so
he’ll watch my kid is gonna work one me. You’re probably right.”

" Then my plan worked." Ravok laughed.

“Listen, check in with Ash, I think she’s somewhere around here, and if she
says yes, then we’ll make plans to stay in and watch a movie or something.
And I promise not to expose your child to nudity, alcohol, or other
debauchery.”

" Yeah , I wouldn't want to have to teach your son to curse you out in
Romulan." Ravok said playfully.

"He's my kid. He'll figure out how to curse me out on his own."

" Speaking of kids and all. I've meaning ask and I feel crappy that I
haven't gotten the chance too, but how are you all doing? Is he kicking
yet? " Ravok asked for a moment trying to talk to Trip as a person and not
the youngest captain in starfleet

"Good. Yeah. Just anxiously waiting. He's fiesty."

Ravok laughed " That's good."

"Anyways, I have to run. Literally run. And I can feel my heart rate
dropping so need to get back to it. But we should catch up."

" Me too I have a ship to watch, while everyone else has fun in the sun."

"Check with Ash. Then tomorrow come by early and we'll hang."

" Will do " Ravok gave a nod and walked away. He tapped his comm badge . "
Exeter Transport me to Ashlyn Williams' current location and don't beam me
right in front of her I already slammed Into the captain."



Trip nodded, checked his pulse and began running again.

=/\= Standy by for transport =/\= with those words Ravok left the beach.

( reply none )
