With alot of different thoughts and emotions going through his mind, he forces himself to think more about Kestral, and wanting her to feel comfortable being back on the ship, and in his presence. Whatever else may happen, he figured, "the sky was the limit" as humans say.
Upon reaching her quarters, he rings the chime.

The chims rang and she looked up from her book before saying something, "Come the door is open." There was no need or reason for her to lock it and she waited for the person to enter not moving from the couch. Her leg, back, and everything was sore from being banged around so much. She just hoped that whoever it was that entered would understand why she wouldn't stand to greet them. Instead she hid her leg under a blanket and waited for the person to enter.

((The interactions between Cmdr Ijoula and Lt. Greyhouse here are back posts that come before the security briefing about Captain James Harsting))
Crio is in casual clothes, and when the door opens, he smiles and steps in. He was also carrying flowers behind his back.
"Hi Kestral," his tone one of being very cheerful, having cleared several hours of his schedule to take his mind off his duties for a while and help a friend in the same regard.
"I wanted to check in on you, and see how you're doing, among other things." he adds as he approaches her, having learned that she's still recouping from her injuries sustained on the Tarawa.

Seeing him in civilian clothing made her smile as she had changed out of uniform some hours ago when sickbay released her to her own care. "Well, Crio, you can rest assured I'm doing alright considering." It was then that she moved on the couch and winced just a bit at the movement as she turned to face him more. The blanket moved with her legs to keep them covered up as the cold still bothered them a bit.
Once she was ajusted though she contiuned to talk to him, "So, you got the how I am doing answered but amongst other things has my interest just a bit." She was still jumpy but kept still at his aproch letting him know it was alright and that she wasn't going to try and choke him like the last time they met after she was transported back on the ship.

He nods slowly as he approaches while revealing the flowers he brought her, which consisted mostly of multi-colored carnations. Among the flowers were some cherry blossoms, something Crio had learned was an important feature of Chinese and Oriental cultures on Earth, as a symbol of love.
"Something to help cheer you up," he says as he sits down with her.

The flowers were beautiful and accepted the gift gladly, "Thank you so much. It was very thoughtful of you to bring these." Upon examining them further she saw the stems of cherry blossoms that were in there and her eyes almost watered but she caught herself before she could get too far down that thought line. He really was thinking of her deeply to have taken the time to research how important those flowers were to her.
"It really wasn't nessary though to bring them to cheer me up. I just needed you." She then leaned over to him as he sat down next to her on the couch and caught his face in her hands. Kissed him on the cheek and then let him go quickly not too sure if he still was willing to pick up where they left off before she left or if he was wishing to start all over again.

As he sat down next to Kestral, he was grateful for her reaction. He would gently pull her close and embrace her in a loving hug, and then kiss her back. It didn't require an empath to see how he felt toward her right now.

The gesture that he made in drawing her close to him after she kissed him made her curl right into him positioning her legs farther away so not to get them in the middle of their moment. She settled against his slightly cooler body and sighed. This was home to her to be with him like this and the only thing that she regreted was that it took so long for them to come back to one another.
"So, is this the other things that you were talking about Ciro earlyer?"

Crio settled next to Kestral, and wrapped an arm around her, gently stroking her side.
"Hmmm... part of it. I had a couple of ideas, depending on how you're feeling. Plus, I'm open to ideas as well." he said softly, as he kisses her cheek again, by her ear.

"As far as the doctor is concerned I'm healing just fine. Just got a sore leg for a while but I can manage to do everything I use to do even if it is still just a touch slow." She blushed when he kissed her in that special spot he managed to find all the time before turning her head to kiss him ever so softly on his cheek in the same spot or close to it. "I am for a change not wanting to be in charge and letting you deside what you want us to do."

His eyes would flutter a bit as she kissed him back, his spots being particularly sensitive, and a soft sigh escapes him.
"I had thought about a warm herbal tea, considering the perception of being a bit cold, and it's also relaxing. Plus, a warm soup, to help you regain your strength."

She smiled seeing and hearing how he reacted to her kiss and then looked at him. "I think that sounds wounderful really. I didn't eat much of anything if at all while in sickbay. Was too concerned with other people to really take that into consideration. Not to mention... well setting bones really isn't a pain free exsperance." Her fears of him not accepting her back were gone now as he seamed to be relaxing around her.

He would not slowly, listening to her explain what all had happened. He fought against a natural wince, at remembering the last time he had to have any bones reset after a break, knowing that it's often a painful experience to say the least. He would give her a gentle squeeze, helping to reassure her that he cared very much and was not thrilled about her being in pain.
"Well, let's get that taken care of. Computer, replicator program request Ijoula-4."
With that, the replicator came alive with a tray of items materializing. Two tall mugs were present, along with two medium-sized bowls, and a small plate. Crio forced himself to get up to go to the replicator to get what had materialized. Coming back, it would be clear that he had done some more research into Earth cuisine as he set the tray down on the coffee table where they were sitting.
In the mugs, there would be a hot herbal tea blend known on Earth as a type that would help with relaxing a person from stress and other problems. In the bowls, one held miso broth. Next to the bowl of miso broth would be a small plate with clams. A few sliced cucumbers would adorn the clams as a palette cleanser. The second bowl was two-thirds full of red seedless grapes, one Earth fruit that Crio was especially fond of.

She watched him get up even though she knew that he really didn't want to. Getting back into picking up on the suttle hits he threw her way she watched him the entire time he was away. Every step and movement gave her clues as to what he was doing but she didn't move a mucle not wanting to throw him off of what he was doing for her.
A smile came across her face when she saw what he presented and as he re-joined her she huged him kissing him lightly, " You make me so happy and so proud. Now I have to start researching Trill eating so I can get you something you like in return for this." The gesture might be seen as being small but to her it was big. Not only was he going to nurish her with the meal but he was honoring her culture by reconizing the pairings like he did.

He smiles as he sits back down and then gets hugged and kissed again. He hugs her back and kisses her.
"I dug deep to find a herbal tea that would go well with miso broth and clams." he struggled a little with the word miso, it coming out like "mee-zoh".
"Much of Trill cuisine is considered to be sweeter in taste compared to what I've had of Earth foods. There are a few fruit drinks that are also delightfully sour. I'll be sure to warn you of those, as they're often seen as overly sour to humans."
With that said, he reaches toward the tray and picks up a cloth napkin and sets it into place to catch any possible spillage, then picks up the bowl of miso broth and a s-p-o-o-n, and brings it to her.
