SPD: When angry, count to ten.

Once K'Tael came into the clearing, Matt gave him something of an embarrassed smile.  "Just roughhousing with sister-in-..."  He had to take a moment to correct himself.  "My former sister-in-law," he told him.  K'Tael could hear the pain in Brennan's voice.  It was not something he enjoyed dealing with, but someone had to do it before the reporters started thinking the good Doc had decided to start attacking the visiting Ambassadors.   "Would you like to talk, Doctor?" Matt looked confused.  "Talk.  About.....?"   Ael stepped in with something of an embarrassed smile.  "My apologies (Commander, right?).  Dr. Brennan was performing a kata, stretching and practicing, and I... stepped in to his practice.  I'm hoping the doctor chooses not to press charges?"   "Charges?" he asked.  "For sparring?  Helping me stay in shape?  Not a chance." He looked back to Ael.  "You're not going to press charges against me, are you?"   "For what?" she asked him, her eyes clearly mischievious, "making me look good?"   ********************************************************* RJ Ferrance, DC, MD Combined Internal Med/Pediatrics Chief Resident Medical College of Virginia Hospitals Richmond, VA 23298 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://views.vcu.edu/~medtoast/anvil.html
