Prompt: Klink - "It's easy to get him to talk. The problem is he never says anything." - 'Hogan's Heroes'
"Oh please don't come over here," Billy muttered, looking between Tal and Gerron who sat across the table from them.
The muttered comment cause both Bajorans to look over their shoulders, nearly bumping heads with the action. The only thing they saw was Chell, standing with a tray of food as he surveyed the tables. The talkative Bolian could strike a conversation up with just about anyone and often chose different tables to sit at.
Seeing the two Bajorans looking in his direction, Chell smiled and waved. Tal waved back while Gerron simply nodded before turning back to his own meal.
"Great, he's going to come over here now," Billy muttered, stabbing his own dinner with his fork.
"Actually, he's heading for Ayala's table," Tal informed her friend, turning back around to face him. "Chell isn't really all that bad."
"You don't think anyone is 'all that bad,'" Billy countered, his smile softening the sting of the words.
"I kind of like having him around," Gerron interjected.
"You would," Billy scoffed. "It means no one expects you to say anything because Chell is doing all the talking."
Gerron shrugged, not bothering to try denying the statement.
"He does like to talk," Tal assented, still smiling.
"To bad he never says anything," Gerron added quietly, causing Billy to chuckle and Tal to slap his arm.
"You're as bad as Billy," Tal scolded.
Gerron shrugged, not feeling a bit apologetic as he had sat through many of Chell's monologues and would probably sit through quite a few more before they made it back to the Alpha Quadrant.
