[** Warning - may contain scenes of a sexual nature **] [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah had to admit that he had been looking forward to this for quite a while. After Kerelia and the holodeck... more specifically, the team-building exercise, it seemed like this would be a good way to unwind. And what more was that it was a chance to get to know Thea better. There were a number people who had been responsible for making certain that his visit to Kerelia wouldn't be his last. Of course, if Isaiah had his way, it would definitely be his last. Though, while they were in the team-building scenario in the holodeck, they had found out they had quite a bit in common. Which was a big reason for today. He gazed out through the park. It wasn't as busy this time of day, which was a good thing. It meant here were be fewer people to dodge and weave around along the trail. He took a few breaths and rolled his shoulders. He really did enjoy this particular route. He only hoped that Thea would like it as well. It seemed the pair of them enjoyed running, so it made sense that they would try to do so together. Isaiah had started stretching a bit before the run. He was wearing a pair of running shoes, dark shorts and a regulation tank top. He looked over at Thea, and couldn't help but smile. "Adjust your audial receiver to the same frequency as mine," he said. He placed the device just behind his left ear. He then pressed a button on his wrist-chronometer and began to nod as he could hear the first track begin play. His eyes fell upon Thea to see if she was hearing the same thing. "This is the playlist I was telling you about. What do you think so far?" he asked. He continued stretching, making certain to give all of his muscles a stretch. "I figure we'd start by stretching. Then, we'll take things up a notch. Don't worry, there are a few cool-down songs on here. A smirk spread across his face. "Remember, this track is just to get the blood moving. We'll start on the next one."

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] If someone had told Thea that she was about to take part in a run, with a cute guy, who also happened to have similar tastes to herself, she wouldn't of believed them. However this was very real and she had to admit, that ever since, she had made plans with Isaiah to run together using his favourite trail, it had been on her mind constantly. In fact, she had woken earlier than normal that day, purely because of how excited she was to spend some time with him again. She may be nearly 30, with a serious lack of love life and a mother who kept asking, when she would settle down and have a family. But Thea preferred to let life and fate decide for her, rather than try to live up to what people expected of her, because of her age and their experiences. Besides, she really enjoyed being in Isaiah's company, something that she had quickly realised, when they were assigned to take part in the same team building exercise. Whether it had been fate, that had brought them together that day, she didnt know, but talking to him was so easy, as well as how playful they could be with one another. That had left a curiosity and intrigue into learning more about him and spending as much time as she could with him. If that led to something then, she would embrace it and if not, well she had a friend who she could cherish and hang out with. Although she did find herself admiring the handsome scientist as he began to stretch, before he looked in her direction, smiled at her and asked her audial receiver to the same frequency as him. " Okay" she replied, adjusting the receiver as requested, as Isaiah then pressed play. Completely forgetting to stretch for a moment as the music filled her senses and she smiled. When Isaiah then looked at her, she couldn't help but grin at how, he had remembered her love of the 1960's. So when he asked, what she thought so far, she could be honest with him/ " I love it, in fact that's one of my favourite songs from that era". she admitted, as he then resumed stretching. Thinking it was probably a good idea for her to do the same, Thea adjusted her regulation tank top, slightly and began, glad that she had put her long auburn hair, up into a ponytail. As she stretched, she was also happy that she too had gone with shorts, as opposed to her usual leggings, considering what Isaiah said next. The smirk that followed, only seemed to encourage her more as she responded. " Good thinking and I approve, from a medical aspect of course" she said, getting a little more playful as she continued. " I'm intrigued, with what you have planned and I'm not worried, I trust you with the songs and as for getting the blood pumping, you've succeeded with that and I'll be ready to go on the next song".Thea loved how he brought out that side of her and enjoyed the playful banter, as she continued to stretch, until she was satisfied that she was as limber as she could be.

Isaiah Quinn [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah smiled at the approval he'd gotten thus far from the playlist. Granted it was only one song in, but he figured he'd take that as a good sign. As she joined him in stretching, he found himself momentarily distracted. He had seen her in her Starfleet uniform, as well as a dress. Yet, seeing her in her workout gear was different. It was more... revealing. Naturally, it was more revealing superficially, as one tended to wear less layers and expose more skin. But it was more than that. When preparing to work out, no one took the time to doll themselves up and present the best versions of themselves. This was a more natural version of Thea, and in many ways just as enchanting. His concentration was broken as she commented that she approved of the idea of stretching and getting warmed up and the blood moving through their vessels. She stated that she was intrigued with what he had planned. Her words caused the smirk to return to his face, especially when she said she'd be ready once the next song started. "Okay," Isaiah said with a nod. He could already feel his heart pumping faster as his breathing elevated slightly. "First run is about 800 meters. There are a few hills," he said already bouncing from one foot to the other. "And if you need to slow down... just say the word. It was practically a challenge. It wasn't that he was underestimating Thea. He just wanted to know what she was made of. His hand tapped his chronometer once more to trigger the next track on the playlist. "Go!" And with that, he turned and started along the trail.

[ Thea - Park] Maybe it was her imagination or was Isaiah checking her out a little, as he smiled at her reaction to his song choice. Even if he wasn't, the idea did send a pleasant chill through her spine. No one had given her that type of attention in quite some time, so she was going to take it for what it was. Plus it was only fair, after she had done the same to him, so perhaps there was a mutual attraction after all. Not that she was going to let it deter her from running and hopefully introducing a bit more playfulness, as well some friendly competitive banter. Thea was definitely liking this already and how natural it was to be around him. However her attention was firmly back onto Isaiah, when he told her the plan for the run. Seeing him eager to go, well there was only one thing to do, especially with how he was seemingly challenging her. " Sounds good to me and I was going to say the same about you ...... I can definitely keep up".The last part was said with a wink, as more of her playfulness came out. That was followed by an impish grin as the second song began to play and she took off after him. Matching his speed and finding the whole thing refreshing as she moved ahead a little.

Matching his speed and finding the whole thing refreshing as she moved ahead a little. [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah could only smile at the acceptance of the challenge. It seemed the doctor was every bit as confident in her ability as he was in his own. And she was an athlete in her own right. He certainly wasn't going to take that for granted. You had to be in excellent shape to win a marathon. Of course, there was the question of whether life in Sickbay had possibly taken it's toll, or if she had managed to stay in relatively the same shape she had been. Isaiah was certainly ready to find out. They were like a pair of teenage athletes... relentlessly competitive, and still having fun at their opponent's expense. He saw her out of the corner of her eye catch up to him. He also could have sworn that that impish grin of hers grew wider as she pulled ahead slightly. Isaiah told himself not to stress the issue. They still had a ways to go in this race. As they neared the end of the first 800 meters, he called out from behind her. "The next kilometer is going to take us through the down the hill, through forest and over the foot bridge. That will bring us to the marigolds." It wasn't actually a forest, but it was the portion of the trail that went through the trees. Thus, it tended to wind between the trees. As they began the next leg of their run, the third track began to play. He began to increase his own pace, until he moved ahead of her. It was then that he turned around and started running backwards for a short time only mouth the words in unison with the track. "Look out baby, 'cause here I come." He then turned back forward and continued to race down the hill. Luckily, he hadn't lost his footing while running backwards, or his balance while spinning back around. He could only thank the drills he typically ran for Parrises Squares.

[ Thea - Park] If she was being completely honest with herself, Thea couldn't remember the last time, she had ran like this. Usually it would be via a holodeck programme, that didn't involve dressing up, just some random beach or trail. But now realised, how much more fun it was, especially when she had an attractive man to encourage her. Of course, she was aware that Isaiah was still behind her slightly, something that she would enjoy teasing him about, if her small lead continued. The impish grin and playful comments, were just the beginning of how fun and dirty she could be, but Isaiah was yet to find that out. It would certainly be interesting to see how he reacted to more of the real Thea, before he explained, what they would encounter next, until they reached the marigolds. Now that was something to work towards, as she was very much looking forward to seeing them. " Okay, sounds good and shouldn't take me too long" she teased again, as the third song began to play and the pair, started the next phase of their run. It was easy to become lost in the music and the freedom, that running gave her and because of that, didn't see Isaiah move past her. When she did realise, she couldn't help but grin, as he turned and began to run backwards, singing out loud. " Oh just you wait, Mr Quinn".Her threat was still very much playful and decided that she wasn't going to let him lead for too long as she sped up in an attempt to catch up to him.

Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] As the run continued, it started to become obvious that they had begun to pace themselves. Though out of the corner of his eye, he could see Thea started to catch back up. Around that time, the next track began to sound. To sprint at this point, just as they reached the hill, would definitely burn more energy. Isaiah decided to maintain his pace as much possible though. As he reached the top of the hill, he had several meters to notice the beauty of the park below. Long flowing hills, the wooded area below that the hill fed into, and not far on the other side of it, was a little stream. It was a ways off, but he had to wonder if they ever decided to program environmental controls to mimic this same scene in the winter. Kids... and quite a few crew would love to slide down this slope. He pushed the thoughts away as he started down the hill. It wasn't too steep of a drop, but he still saw no reason to over accelerate. If there was even the slightest chance that he could lose his footing... well, as much as he was enjoying Thea's company, he didn't think either of them would appreciate a trip to Sickbay. "Be careful through here," Isaiah warned. "Some of the turns are pretty sharp." They had just begun to reach the wooded area. The path wasn't as straight here. There were several points where the path curled between trees. He supposed engineers wanted to give it an authentic feel, being that people tried not to cut trees down, but work around them when possible back home on Earth. He supposed there were obvious short cuts one could have taken, but what fun would that have been? As he continued on, he recalled the stream coming up. He adjusted the volume on the audial receiver so that he could hear the flow of the stream. The sound of it did bring a smile to his face. He even slowed his pace as he reached the crest of the foot bridge. "The marigolds are just up ahead."

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] At first Thea was keen to catch up too and potentially retake the small lead that she had over Isaiah earlier. However as they continued to near their next target, the Doctor decided that if she kept up with her current pace, there was a high chance of her twisting something, despite warming up properly. It also served as a reminder at how she had let her fitness slip slightly what with setting up her quarters and being busy with her work. Not that it was an excuse, but at least she wasn't panting or out of breath, so she wasn't completely unfit. Plus there was just something about the route, that Isaiah had chosen, with how peaceful and tranquil it was, a slice of paradise amongst the stars. Add the music that Isaiah had chosen and Thea suddenly no longer felt the need to be competitive, preferring to enjoy the run for what it was, especially with such a beautiful view in front and around her. She might not be the perfect singer, but that didn't stop her from singing along to the next track. Moving her body in rhythm with the music, as she followed Isaiah down the hill. Hearing his warning to be careful and that some of the turns were pretty sharp, Thea was glad of the advice and how he was looking out for her again. " Okay I'll remember that and thanks for the heads up".Thea then refocused on the route and how careful she needed to be as they then entered the wooded area. Knowing that they weren't far off, she felt as though she had accomplished a lot, especially when she was told, that the marigolds, weren't far off. Slowing down a little, she also became aware, that she wasn't too far behind Isaiah as he reached the foot bridge and couldn't help but smile at seeing the stream. " I think a small rest stop, would be good when we get there".Not that she was tired or anything, but it would be good to sit and relax for a moment, before continuing.

" I think a small rest stop, would be good when we get there".Not that she was tired or anything, but it would be good to sit and relax for a moment, before continuing. [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah nodded at Thea's suggestion of resting once they reached the marigolds. She had certainly impressed him, but that was quickly becoming the norm rather than the exception. Naturally, he was impressed by her skill as a doctor. After all, there was a good chance he wouldn't have survived had she not been there. Of course, he wasn't exactly lucid for most of that. Which may have been for the best. He likely would have had an opinion on just about anything they had tried in terms of his treatment. Sometimes having too many doctors for a patient was like having too many chefs in a kitchen. And speaking of kitchens, she had turned out to be more of a chef than she admitted... at least in his opinion. He certainly couldn't make too many claims of being gifted in the culinary arts, but she had helped him navigate that minefield as well. And minefield wasn't much of a stretch when you threw in that zany hologram that seemed to prefer tossing food than actually enjoying it. She had said at the beginning that she could keep up with him. That had proven to be true. Part of him wondered if she had just been holding back for the sake of his ego. They did seem to make it to the footbridge without any incident of injuries. And it was only a couple hundred meters to the marigolds from there. Some time in between the foot bridge and the flowers another track had begun to play. It seemed to have just the right tempo to slow down. As they reached it, Isaiah came to a stop. He could feel his heart rate was elevated. It was an all too familiar euphoric sensation. He took a few breaths, exhaling. Yet, as his own breathing slowed, he began to look around. "Well, this is it," Isaiah said. "I guess it's not only marigolds, but they do help guide you through the entire garden." He paused and stared out at the arrangement, and then turned towards Thea. "It's a nice walk. Beautiful scenery. It's the closest thing to home that isn't the holodeck. So, what do you think? Was it worth the trip?"

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] With Quinn agreeing to her suggestion of a rest stop, Thea smiled as she was very much looking forward to see the spot, that he had recommended and what had led them to now running together. Her good mood, only seemed to increase with every step that she took as she more or less caught up with Isaiah. Thea was impressed by his stamina, something else to add to the thoughts she had concerning the handsome scientist. Of course those were kept private, unsure as to when or how, she should broach that subject. Of course her inner saboteur, loved moments of indecisiveness and uncertainty, ready to pouce, whenever she expressed an interest in someone. Perhaps that's what had caused such a dry spell, but even now, it was back and reminding her, that she was older than him, that she was a senior officer and why would he be interested. These thoughts threatened to ruin the good mood that she was in, until the next song began to filter through her earpiece. Wondering if he had known or whether it was pure coincedence, as the words fought back against the saboteur. They were right, you couldn't rush these things and now that the darkness had lifted, her good mood began to return. The Doctor was definitely ready for a rest and came to a stop beside Isaiah, allowing her body and breathing to rest. When he then spoke about the marigolds and the garden, Thea looked around, thinking how beautiful it was and how glad she was, that he had brought her here. So as he looked at her and shared his thoughts, as well as asking what she thought and if it was worth the trip. Thea knew that she could be honest with him. " Its beautiful Isaiah and definitely worth the trip, I'm happy that you brought me here".

" Its beautiful Isaiah and definitely worth the trip, I'm happy that you brought me here".Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah was relieved to hear that she had enjoyed the run and found the sight waiting for them at the end to be worth the trip. It wasn't that he doubted she would enjoy the scenery. He was concerned that it may not have lived up to her expectations. After all, he had made such a fuss about it. It was all too easy to elevate one's expectations. Yet, beauty was in the eye of the beholder. Clearly, they had similar tastes. He took a moment to look around a bit more and enjoy the scene. "We could stroll through the garden for a bit, if you have time," Isaiah suggested. They could always go back to the run, retrace their path or simply take another. Perhaps he could even suggest that she take the lead. Besides, this may be a rest, but it was entirely possible that she had other plans. "So, do you typically run here in the park, or do you prefer the holodeck?" Isaiah asked. The appeal of the holodeck was its diversity. You could run literally anywhere. Any place on Earth or any other planet was fair game on the holodeck. And naturally, that train of thought got him thinking about the sort of programs she likely ran... set in those 1960s.

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] The answer to Isaiah's suggestion about taking a stroll through the park, was easy enough to give as Thea wasn't about to end this now, not when she was having a good time, even if certain thoughts had tried to spoil it. " I like the idea and I have plenty of time for you Isaiah".Okay that part of her reply might come off as cheesy, but she meant it and besides, when she was given an offer of walking through such a beautiful spot, with a handsome man. She would have to be crazy to turn it down, especially when this was her scheduled day off and the alternative, was to go home and be by herself. It would also be interesting as to how he would react to that, considering how they had also thought the same way, about their current surroundings. When he then asked if she typically ran through the park or preferred the holodeck, it was if she had been waiting for him to say that. " I will admit that I do tend to use the holodeck, but now you've shown me this, I think I'll be coming here more often, if you want a permanent running partner?".Of course, she realised how bold that sounded, but had found that she could be that way around Isaiah and hadn't forgotten, about the invitation to join her in the 1960's. That was something to discuss later or during their walk, but for now she looked at him, with a hint of a playful glint in her eye.

Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] It was an interesting choice of words, but Isaiah didn't read too much into it. If anything, it simply suggested that she really enjoyed his company. If he were honest, he couldn't disagree. "All right, then," he said as he lifted his hand, gesturing towards the entrance of the garden. He began to walk in that direction, slowly alongside Thea. He took a few moments to look at the flowers that were planted there presently. "I've heard that there are flowers in this garden from all over the Federation. It's supposed to e quite the collection.As soon as the comment left his lips, the smile on his face broadened. "And that is probably the extent of knowledge of botony," he said. He certainly couldn't identify a variety of flowers from all over the Federation. "I suppose in that sense I fail as a tour guide. But I can promise to point at whatever I would classify as pretty.She revealed that she typically preferred to jog in the holodeck, but seemed open to the idea of running here in the park more often now. "I certainly wouldn't turn down a partner," he stated. "However, I have to admit... the Holodeck does have its advantages. Have you ever gone for a run across the Brooklyn Bridge? In Central Park?" He paused for her answers before continuing. "The holodeck could be an option as well. Especially, when they decide to redo the landscape here."

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] For some strange reason, Thea felt a small bout of nerves as to how Isaiah would respond to how she had plenty of time for him. Then came the internal relief when he didn't make any comment other than okay and gestured towards the entrance. Thea had never experienced such a range of emotions as she was now, in such a short space of time. However some of those weren't necessarily bad as they began to walk side by side into the garden. Listening as he told her what he had heard in regards to the flowers and how they were supposed to be quite the collection. That she could believe, judging from what she was seeing right now. As much as she loved flowers, she preferred when they were given as gifts or when she purchased them from the Promenade, as opposed to trying to grow them herself. Her gardening skills were on par with her cooking skills, so she was definitely impressed with how much work had gone in to creating all of this. Becoming slightly distracted by Isaiah's smile again as he admitted, that what he had said was the extent of his knowledge of botany. Looking towards him as he also confessed about how he failed as a tour guide in that sense and promised to point out what he thought was pretty. " Oh I don't think you've failed at all, I appreciate what you've said about this and I'm not much of a botanist either, so I'm happy with you pointing what you would class as pretty, as that's pretty much my philosophy".Then as talk turned to running and the bold offer she had made, Thea's smile was on of happiness with a mixture of more relief, as he didn't turn her down. " That makes me happy" she admitted, before he revealed that the holodeck did have its advantages and asked if she had ever ran across the Brooklyn Bridge or in Central Park. " I haven't but they sound like fun".It seemed as though Isiaah was also keen to use the holodeck as an option for their runs together and Thea certainly liked that idea, which then led her to think about the holo novel and decided to broach that topic, since they were discussing the holodeck. " Definitely it can be and speaking of the holodeck, I was wondering if you would still like to join me in the 1960's holonovel?".

" Definitely it can be and speaking of the holodeck, I was wondering if you would still like to join me in the 1960's holonovel?".[Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] He had found some comfort in Thea's admittance that she also wasn't a botonist, and that she didn't expect anything near that level of expertise in their impromptu tour of the garden. If anything, it seemed that she was content to test their avenue of similar tastes once more. Thea also seemed open to the idea of continuing to run together beyond today. As Thea mentioned that she hadn't explored New York through the eyes of a runner, the science officer already began making future plans. She then mentioned the holonovel she had brought up once before during their team-building activity. It was set in the 1960s, which he recalled to be her favorite time period. It had certainly been the theme of the music that they had run to. He nodded, confirming that he was still interested in joining her. "Are you kidding? he asked. "I'm very curious to see what keeps bringing you back to this time period. He could recall her answers, and could see the allure. Yet, there was a difference in appreciating what the time period had to offer and experiencing it through a holonovel. "I don't suppose you can share just a few more details about this holonovel," Isaiah said. "After all, I'd like to be properly prepared for it. I'm pretty sure a few details wouldn't spoil the experience."
