"Alex?" Dr Crusher entered the room with Counselor Troi. Alex rolled over on the bio bed, sitting up.
"Hi," Alex said quietly, looking at the floor.
"Captain Picard wants to talk to you," Counselor Troi explained. Alex nodded slightly.
"Here or-?" Alex started to ask.
"In his Ready Room," Dr Crusher answered. Again Alex gave the little nod, pushing her glasses further up her nose as she stood.
"Lead the way," Alex said to no one in particular. She followed Deanna out silently, leaving Dr Crusher alone with the mechanical noises and muffled speech.
