Chapter 39: Sick To My Stomach

"But seriously, we have some meds in sickbay for you if you need them," said Jun Li pushing himself off the wall and crouching down beside me. "And you did better than some of the officers that have been on my bridge during a hyperjump. Some of them passed out and banged their heads against a console."

I rested my cheek on my forearm which was around the basin of the alien toilet and looked up at him. "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" I asked with a smirk. I was already feeling better and I knew that I would eventually get used to it.

"Did it work?" he asked as he cocked his head and looked at me.

"Not really," I replied deadpanned.

"Then no, I wasn't trying to make you feel better. When I do, it will be in a way that works," he replied in the same tone as me causing me to chuckle.

"Thanks," I said studying his very human face.

"No worries," he replied, picking up some very human phrases.
