Awkward Feelings

Mission: Section 31-B
Location: Crew Quarters, Deck 8
Timeline: 2396, en route to Earth for Shore leave

As it turned out, having her first period since getting her Romulan DNA restored had not been the most pleasant week for Lieutenant Mnhei'sahe Dox.

24th century medicine had done a lot to reduce most of the more negative symptoms, but did extremely little to help manage the extremely increased sex drive she had to muscle through over the last few days.

Things were getting back to normal and Dox was beginning to feel more comfortable in her own skin again, but there was still consequences to deal with as a result of her few days off projecting pheromones across the Hera. And one of those consequences was Dox's assistant Flight Control officer, Ensign Mona Gonadie.

For weeks now, Dox had been ignoring a growing attraction to her Miradonian friend that was exasperated by the rush of hormones and Mona picked up on her attraction. As a result, Mona lept on Dox's anxiety and agressively flirted with the nervous Romulan pilot for a while, seemingly for fun.

Now, a few days later and with a clearer head, Dox sat in her quarters, sulking. The two co-workers had not talked about what had happened, were talking less in the office, and Dox was now terrified that not only did Mona not share any of the feelings she had for her, but that her awkward, hormone fueled behavior had also ruined their friendship.

Of course, there was one way to find out for sure. Dox could simply ask. She could ask her first thing in the morning. Or next week. Or after shore leave.
