Sam listened to her as she sobbed, completely confused by her statements. Her reality, her life, was so different and so complex that it often took a lot of time for her things to ‘make sense’. Sam knelt back down and picked her up, trying to get her to his feet, but she was just limp. Sam looked back at his Detail “Sgt. Harrison, cancel this and return to normal operations. Send a security detail to my quarters to stand guard at the door, I’ll be there shortly with Ann; she’s going to need some time.”
Sam lifted her off the ground, and picked her up and carried her, just like a Groom carries his Bride across the threshold, he had to strain to get all the way up; she was a lot heavier then her frame appeared thanks to all the technology she possessed. Sam slowed by Captain Harsting “Sir, with your permission I’d like to take her to my quarters and let her relax; calm down a bit and regain some composure, probably the safest place she could be.” Sam waited, he knew that Jim understood, they both had known her before and knew it was best to ‘help her’ in private and away from unnecessary attention. “Afterwards we’ll swing by Sickbay and get her a ‘once over’ to make sure there’s no simple injuries…” Sam dipped his head respectively to Captain Harsting and headed off.
Sam spoke as they walked “Easy Ann, it’s okay. You look exhausted, just rest for a bit and you can tell me all about it.” A smile came back across his face “Not everything’s gone, we’re still here, we’re stubborn that way. Besides, I think you just became my #1 Priority for now.”
Sam entered his quarters and informed the security detail that whether Sam came or went, Ann was to have no visitors until she felt better. Sam placed her on his bed, for the simple fact that he had no other furniture in his quarters; it resembled a military barracks more then an officer’s quarters. Sam walked over, grabbed a blanket, and wrapped it around her. He walked back into a separate room, grabbed a chair, and brought it back and sat in front of her.
While in the other room, he had also obtained a cup of black coffee, which he was sure he definitely needed right now, and he slowly took a few sips. He looked at Ann, she looked so tired, so tired and worn, she almost looked older, but figured it for the excess fatigue. “Now” he began, “you want to explain to me what you’re doing here in this condition, and all that jazz you said at the bar?” pausing to take another drink “Or would you like to rest for a bit and talk later?”

He hears Grant give orders to his men then he turns to a section of his men “Escort these two (indicating Grabfoot and Hound) past the force field and let them go about their business.” Buford Looks at the security and Grows showing his fangs his eyes turn red as he scans the men
He looks at Grant and his eyes darken, seeing Ann he still sense Confusion, anguish in her, and Confusion and Concern in Grant
Buford's eyes return to normal "See y'all around Ann" he says as she turns and sees Captain Harsting snapping a salute he then walks out of the Bar, as the force Field then returns

His head snaps up when he heard Grant order a couple of his men to escort him and the canine out passed the force fields. He started to protest but then thought better of it, thinking he couldn't do anything to help the situation. He wanted to be near and help Ann but he couldn't do a thing with Grant sticking his tail in.
As the security personnal approached, he growled a warning to not come any closer. He then said matter of factly "Just open the force field. I don't need to be escorted anywhere"
As soon as the force field dropped, he walked out with his ears laying flat against his head, his tail lashing and his feet claws clicking on the floor. He headed straight for a TL and as he waited he turned back to see Grant emerging from the Bar and Grill with Ann in his arms. From his vantage point, she looked rather comfortable. All emotion seem to leave his face as on the inside, he felt his heart drop into his feet. He turned as the TL doors opened and he stepped inside "Bridge" , he ordered the TL, his tone was flat and emotionless

Entering the Bar he walks up to the Bar and sits down settling whats owed Tog "4 raw stakes and a bottle of Whiskey, not that replicated stuff either" he says
"Right away Sir" Tog says as he starts fixing Buford's order
As Buford waits for his order he sniffs the air but cant smell Ann near by, he thinks to him self "I hope she is doing OK" He didn't like the sent her body was sending out before Grant took her
"Your Order Sir" Tog says
Buford nods and starts eating as he thinks "I reckon some will see me as no more than a talking Dog" He takes a drink from the bottle "I should be use to it, being thought as a common dog" he thinks as he takes a bite and shakes his head "Try to make a Friend and right away they assume I want to mate her or am in heat" he thinks as he takes a deep breath

Taking his food and his bottle we goes to a table and sits taking out his pipe he fills it and lights it
"I wonder if Grab Foot has that problem being treated like a common Cat" he thinks as he smokes his pipe
"I mean how would they like it if I treated them like monkeys" he thinks "the doctors were nice but then they have to be they may think the same nothing more than a Dog" as he smokes his pipe
"I reckon I'm letting few get to me, they can think what they will" he thinks as he eats some

smiling and wagging his tail he laughs when Ann asks if he would like a bone "I love a good bone"
he then motions to Tog for two Root beers when Ann orders one, he could sense the Worry in Ann but yet peace and happiness, along with some concern
"her you go to Root Beers" Tog say as he sits them down and goes
When Tog is gone Buford looks at Ann "if y'all need to talk to someone Iz all ears" he says as his ears lift up
He was drawn to Ann not because he he wanted to mate with her, thou she is quite attractive he just wants to be Friends, from the very first day he meet her
"That's what Friends do listen and help if they can and Buford Boagard Hound is always their for a Friend" he says then he hows a little as his tail wags fast (natural way of laughing) "what do y'all think the cat would taste like"

After getting a couple hours f rest in his quarters, he woke up and found he was a little hungry. He left his quarters and moved into the neared turbolift "Promenade" he would instruct the computer
A minute later, he stepped out onto the Promenade and looked around. He spotted the Bar and Grill and started walking toward it, hoping Grant wouldn't be there. If he was, he would simply turn around and leave.
Entering the Bar and Grill once again, he'd look around, inwardly pleased not to see Grant. He did, however, see Ann and the canine conversing over at the bar, his ear picking up part of the conversation. Ears tipped forward, he would approach, as Ann finished what she said. He smelled what he thought was embarrassment. He paused for a brief second, thinking ~ couldn't be ~ He resumed, asking as Ann finished, "What's that about tasting feline meat?"
His question was one of mere curiousity, no threat or offensive tone in his voice or his approach

Buford tail waged as her face lit up when saw the root beer, he could sense her not being sure if she wanted to talk about things yet
She turned to him and smiled “Boagard? I like that better then Dog Boy or even Lap Dog.” she said, He smiled trying his best not to look like he was growing then Jokingly ask how cat would taste
“Dog taste better… has more of a firm feel and more protein...” she says moving her head from side to side as she described it Buford sensed a change in in her, as she became embarssed “Oh but cat taste was worst! I mean canine is ummm… can you just ignore what I said ranted about and start over?” She says
"Its OK Ann" he says tail waging "Iz be more firm feeling and have more protein I mean Dogs work Cats just lay around" He laughs "if y'all don't eat me Iz will not eat you" he chuckles
“So, Boagard? It’s a nice Boa…ish nice bold name…” Ann says he can sense she is still a little embarssed and worried "Its OK Ann I'm not mad y'all were talking with me like I was a person not a dog" He smiles his tail waging
"So hows your root beer taste?" He asks taking a drink, without looking back "Care for a root beer Feline? what is your name, Iz mean if your going to keep interrupting us I should at least know your name" he says taking another drink

Before Ann responded, he heard the offer of something called root beer and before he could respond that that he heard the canine say that he was interupting him and Ann
His ears flicked back in surprise as he glanced at the canine a bit warily. Between the talk of feline meat and then the canine's comment, he didnt like where that conversation was going one bit and he grew a little defensive. "Pardon me, then. I shall leave you two alone".
He turned and caught the eye of "Big Ears" behind the bar and thrust his tail out, pointing to the other side of the bar. He then turned and walked over, as as "Big ears" met him, he orders two steaks, bloody rare and a glass of milk

He looks to the meal that was set in front of him and then glances at the bar person
"Thank you, Big Ears"
He returns his attention back to the steaks and begins eating, essientially ignoring the canine and Ann

Partially through his meal, he recieved a response from the bridge and it took him a couple seconds to chew what he had in his mouth and wash it down with milk
"Pleased to meet you, Ganessa.." is cut off by whom he now knew as Ganessa Ravious adressed Captain Harsting and gave him a report that all upgrades have been completely installed and that we're at yellow alert
He returns his attention to his meal but he casually steals a glance at Ann and the canine out of the corner of his eyes

Ann smiled at him and gave him a small hug “Just like the Federation…vile but acceptable.” she says He smiles at at her
When Tog returns behind the bar Ann leans over and whispers “I have a proposition for you. I need to acquire a few things but all I have is currency that doesn’t exactly translate well here. Unless I can trade you for some Gold Press with ‘Co’Less Tonia’…I believe its very similar to your regular Gold Press. Only difference it is laced with a rare diamond. Or I can give you this and that will be my tab for sometime for whatever I require?” Buford sees the glimmer in Tog's eye with the chance to make some lantium
“Your lobes are very endowed...” She said as she softly ran her fingers on one of his ears and slipped the Co’Less Tonia in his pocket
Tog looked at the Co'less in his pocket as Ann said “If you will. I require a Hypo Spray and this medical drug... No questions asked and I won’t mention anything to the Chief. If you prove your self to me I think we can make a permanent transaction of profits.”
Tog looks at Ann and smiles then whispers "The Hypo Spray is no problem, the medical drug will take some time 3 days tops it will cost 5 bars of GPL or your equivalence of it"
Buford hears this even thou they are whispering do to his superior hearing, but says nothing he sees Tog ready to add another term Buford flashes his teeth "is it a deal" Tog ask as his eyes shift from Buford back to Ann

As he finished his meal, he felt better and not so.. ill-tempered. When he causually glanced over to see Ann and the canine, he saw them hug each other and his ears flicked back in surprise. He knew that was an affectionate gesture for humans and other races when they like each other
his ears then drooped, as did his whiskers a little bit thinking that he may not win the heart of Ann after all. He blew air out his nose, in an imitation of a human sigh. He then thought to himself ~ As long as she is happy ~
His ears picked up a little then tipped forward as BIg Ears went back over and Ann leaned over the bar to whisper to him, looking like she was flirting with him. He arched an ear in their direction, straining to hear what she may be saying. He didn't hear much and only caught a word or two here and there. He caught the term medicinal drug and he realized the doctor in sickbay didn't agree to give her any medicine to help her remain in her calm state and not turn back into her violent self. He shook his head in disapproval, thinking the doctor doesnt realize the danger to the ship if she is not given the drug. ~Guess she will find out when and If she runs out ~ he thinks to himself
His mind then goes back to the point where the canine said that he was interupting Ann and himself when he entered. It was then he asked his name and he didn't give it. He would remedy that. Taking his plate and glass, he stood and walked over to the recycler and set them in. He turned abd walked back over to where Ann and the canine sat, saying to the canine "I am sorry for my rudeness earlier. My name is GrabFoot Of~Two Dawns and you are..?
His ears tipped forward as he waited for a response
