Mission: Episode 116 - "A Bounty of Trust"
Location: Personal Quarters of Suki Solwick
Timeline: MD3 - 1730 hrs



Suki was annoyed, she was barely placed on the USS Falcon before she was put into drydock. While she understood the need for a refit, it was inconvenient for a new officer joining Starfleet.

Suki walked along the Promenade, just trying to fight your boredom. What was she giving a 2-hour break? Typically most options would be grateful but she was just bored she rather go back to work.

Leland was walking along the promenade, feeling at loose ends when he saw Suki and rerouted his path to intersect with hers.

"Hi." He said with a smile.

"Hello, can I help you?" Suki said, wondering what he wanted.

“I saw you and thought I would come and say hi.” Leland said with a smile. “Is there something wrong with that?”

"Is there something wrong with asking if I can help you?" Suki said with a smile on her face.

“No.” Leland replied. “I though you sounded annoyed that I came to speak to you.”

"I'm Suki Solwick, but you already know that Leland." She said it's a big smile on her face, she still felt the connection that she had with the one they were just little kids. She didn't remember much of it she just remembered that it was a great sensation between them and now their bond was growing.

“I do.” He replied with a smile. “I recognized you and felt like maybe we should talk.”

"About our marriage, okay. What do you want to know?" Suki asked in an upbeat tone.

“When are we actually going to spend time together?” Leland asked her. “It feels like you are avoiding me.”

"You just literally got to the station, so did I." Suki said to him telepathically.

“A week ago.” Leland said, making it sound like years. “I would have thought we’d at least have dinner together.”

"And it has been a hectic week, are you always going to be this emotional? Suki ask him, thinking he is very dependent on her it seemed like. He was kind of hoping that he would be more of a beta male with alpha like traits. But it did not seem to be the case.

”No. It has been crazy. Leland thought maybe it was a mistake coming over here to talk to her. She obviously didn’t see a reason for them to see each other. .

"Will you settle down I can send your feelings from a mile away." Suki said a little annoyed. She realized she was going to have to be this boy's mama, and turn her into the man that she needed him to be.

“Excuse me.” Leland frowned. He hadn’t realized she had read his thoughts and wasn’t particularly happy about it. “It is plain to me that you feel I am rushing things.”

"Oh you want to communicate through vocal, why don't you scare my thoughts and see if that's how I really feel?" Suki still thinking anything a little dramatic, and being oversensitive about everything. She definitely needed to work on him.

Leland stared at her for a long moment and read her thoughts. “You think I am dramatic?l he shook his head. “And you need to fix me? Oh excuse me, work on me?” He was irritated.

"you forgot to mention the part where I thought you were adorable and that I felt a strong connection with you, and I think deep down you do too." Suki pointed out to him with the big grin on her face.

“Of course I feel a connection with you.” Leland declared. “We are meant to be. You are the one for me.”

"Don't sweat the small stuff then." Suki said telepathically. But on the outside she was smiling, on the inside she was smiling and expressing emotions of trust and passion with him. Her feelings were strong and on the surface, she was not fighting the bond like some Betazed's do.

”You are right.” Leland sent to her telepathically, ”My thoughts working overtime.”. He was glad she understood him.

"See, you seem a lot more relaxed emotionally now we can you work on that physical part." Suki again telepathically said to him, but physically she was just looking at him he was looking at her to the outside of their it could look like they were just staring at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Physical side?"</> Leland asked her. He wondered what bothered her about him physically.

"You need to smile. I bet you have a pretty smile." Suki said to him, with a big grin on her face.

Leland couldn’t help it he smiled. >em>”You want to see me smile more?”
He didn’t realize he wasn’t.

"A start would be a good thing." Suki said with a normal voice.

Leland smiled at her. "See. I can smile. I think I was thinking of work earlier."

"Really?" Rhetorically asked Suki. She did not believe that nonsense. She can tell he was still a little defensive when he should just be honest.

Leland sighed. “What did I do now?” He asked. “I was actually starting to relax.”

Suki did not want the other to hear what she was going to say so she sent him a telepathic me message. "Your defensive, I need you calm down. "Do we need to sneak out to my quarters for a little alone time?"<\em> She wondered, thinking he was a little uptight and defensive she needed a loosen him up a little bit.

”No, I’m fine.” Leland replied .?”. ”He took a deep breath and let it out. ”I’m taking some heat from my parents that I am not paying enough attention to you.”

"Am I really that bad?" Suki asked him. She started to leave them both away from the Promenade, she was going to keep her promise and take him back to her quarters to release all of his stress. The poor guy probably didn't know what he was getting himself into, cuz if he thought they were going to be physical he was going to be in for a rude awakening.

“No.” Leland shook his head. “I feel drawn to you right now. It was a busy start being transferred here. Then my parents harrassed me and I wanted to come see you on my terms.” He smiled at her. “I like being with you.”

"I believe your hormones are talking." Suki said but the big grin on her face.

”That may be.” Leland murmured. ”But our connection is strong.”.

"You may be on to something." Suki said as she grab him by the hand.

Leland felt something at the touch of her hand. "I think I am."

"I prefer to go to my quarters if that's okay?" Suki asked him.

“Yes.” Leland nodded. At this point he wanted her to be happy.

"Are feeling more relaxed now?" Suki asked while still making small talk. Suki was still holding his hand as they continue to stroll down the corridors.

“Yes.” Leland nodded. “I feel much better than I did earlier.”

After a couple of minutes they made it back to her quarters, she already had massage table waiting in her room. As the doors closed she pulled them close and then gave him a kiss before looking at him. "Pick up your uniform top and lay down on the bed." Suki ordered him.

“Okay.” Leland replied and did what she said. He wondered what she was up to.

Suki grabbed some lotion and applied it to her hands. Afterwards she started to work on his lower back. "Your family you mentioned is stressing you out?" She wanted details, so she could help him.

“Yes.” Leland murmured. He was enjoying this. It felt so good he never wanted her to stop. “My mother is annoying.”

"The women in our life are very important, what is it about your mother that annoys you?" Suki asked has she dig her fingers more into his back trying to release a knot that she had felt.

“She has an agenda and expects me to just fit my life into it without any consideration for me or us.”

"Us?" Suki said, everything he said was about him. Not about them.

“Yes us.” Leland replied. “I’m looking to the future for when we are together.”

"Curious what do you know of Betazed customs?" Suki asked as she continued to massage his shoulders.

“Not a whole lot.” Leland replied. He wondered where she was going with this.

"Why are you so judgmental about your family's decision? Am I not worthy enough of your time?" Suki asked. Unlike him she was more complacent, she trusted her people he trusted the process, it's working millions and millions of her people why wouldn't it work for them?

"I'm not judgemental." Leland replied. "I want to be with you but I don't like it when my mother tell me the date were getting married and when to start a family."

"I don't think you're seeing this from her perspective, you're all grown she misses you being young what's the next best thing?" Suki asked that's your fingers continue to dig deeper into the knots in his back.

"I know she loves me and wants to see me happy." Leland sighed."I just wish she'd let me have some say in things. I am happy where I am and with us but it feels like she's looking over my shoulder."

"you realize what you said makes no sense, there is no less right now this is the first time we've seen each other in years. Does that really matter? I think maybe you are spending way too much time with humans." Suki pointed out to him. His response was very human.

"Its actually the second." Leland corrected her. "We met when we first came on base." He fell silent for a moment. "I am trying too hard, I want to be the man you want."

"okay smart ass, you know what I meant."'Suki said as her fingers digged into a knot that was being a pain to loosen up on.

“Leland laughed softly. “I can be a Smartass. I just want this to be about us. You are important to me I don’t want you seeing me as a mamas boy.”

"I don't see you as a mama's boy." Suki said thinking he is very much a beta type of male. Women where alphas the domineering strong type. He did not give that portrayal.

“That is what I needed to hear.” Leland relaxed and a smile crossed his face. “It is what you think that matters.”

"I hope it's more than what I think, this relationship isn't just about me you know you're making it seem like it is you laying on this bed right now me digging into your muscles trying to heat a calm down is all about you." Suki pointed out to him if she continued to massage him.

“Of course it is.” Leland replied. “It’s how we feel about each other and moving ahead. On my part, I feel better knowing that. I want us to be partners and share in our futures together including thoughts and opinions.”

"Then don't worry about your mother." Suki said to him. "Everything will work out if you just trust the process."

“Your right.” Leland nodded. “I need to just let things happen at their own pace.”

Suki continued to massage his muscles into submission. After a short time the muscles loosened up. She hoped it helped him out. She was not done yet, she could feel the sense of him calming down.

“That was nice.” Leland said his voice sounded kind of dreamy to him. He needed to get up but he was feeling so relaxed and comfortable he didn’t want to move.

"why are you getting up, I just work so hard to get you relax." Suki said that she started to massage his arms first working on his forearms and working his way up to his biceps.

“I thought you were finished.” Leland murmured. “Trust me, I don’t want to get up.”

"Good because this is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other in a good clean wholesome Way." Suki suggested to him.

Leland listened to her words. There was a l subtle or maybe not so subte way for her to say he better not try any funny business. “I think that is a good plan.”

"I'm glad you approve, so what do you want me to know about you if you could say one thing you want to make sure I knew what would it be?" Suki asked, putting him right on the spot.

“I am a romantic at heart.” Leland confessed. “I like giving gifts, holding hands and being affectionate.”

"You sound like every Betazed male ever." Suki said with a warm smile on her face as the scene starts to fade away.

Leland smiled back at het. “I am an original.” He said with a grin. “Just for you.”
