[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]"Actually, when it comes to bad habits, having an impressionable young mind watching you can be a force for good, keeping you mindful of the example you're setting. It's one of the things that weaned me off swearing," Judy pointed out. "That and the swear jar," Max reminded her. "That too," she granted. "The point is, the act of teaching and mentoring a youngster is a valuable learning experience for you as well.""And you know, Judy still has some bad habits at work. Everyone does."

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] The science officer still thought it quite the undertaking. He was certainly giving it some consideration. "I'll certainly take it under advisement," Isaiah said not ruling it out. "It's a lot to consider. I certainly see the potential benefits. And with it being a cadet, it's undoubtedly a limited venture. As soon as one is broken in, it'd be time to ship them back." Isaiah rubbed his chin. "Are any of the other department heads taking advantage of this?" Obtaining firsthand data certainly couldn't hurt.

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Thea listened as Judy and Max spoke more about the advantages of having a Cadet as an intern. Chuckling slightly at the mention of the swear jar and yet could see Judy's point about how it would also be good for Isaiah. Yes she had been fortunate to find Andila and her not being strictly Fleet. However Isaiah also raised some good points regarding the longevity of the Cadet's tenure before they were ultimately replaced. There was the scientist that she loved as he asked more questions, knowing how his mind worked and how liked to get as much information possible, before making a decision. " I'm not sure about the other Department Heads, but there's also the option of a non fleeter like Andila who has all of the appropriate clearances to work for the Fleet".

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]"I don't think any of the other department heads have an intern, no, but there are a few junior officers who do. I'll have Mabel pull up the list."Judy reached in the general direction of her PADD, but Max stopped her. "Later, honey. We're watching the game," he explained. "I need to write it down, or I'll forget," she excused herself, grabbing the PADD anyway. "Mark your calendar, Thea. Menopause, sometime around age 50, it'll hit you, and your memory will go."She wrote down a reminder for herself, and put the PADD away.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah nodded as Judy shared the facts with him. He wasn't surprised that none of the other department heads were doing so. At least in respect that he hadn't heard about it before now. "Thanks, I'd appreciate that," he said when Judy offered to have Mabel prepare a spreadsheet. He certainly hadn't intended for her to do it at that moment. Max reminded her that they were watching a game. That was actually what Isaiah needed reminding about. Though, seeing how the Knicks were playing, it wasn't much of a stretch that one would voluntarily forget.

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Having been almost right with her answer, it was good to have that particular conversation brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Knowing Mabel, it wouldn't be long before Isaiah received that list and would happily help him, should he need it. At the mention of the menopause and to mark her calendar, Thea was in no hurry as she still had plenty of time. However would take all the advice that she could get when it did happen. " So just over 19 years for me until that happens but duly noted" she replied as their attention was diverted back to the farce that was the game.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]Judy chuckled. "Those 19 years might just fly by," she said. "We just had our 20th wedding anniversary, and I really hadn't realized it's been that long. It still feels like yesterday when Max only had those first few flecks of grey.""When you're having a good time, it doesn't feel like a long time," Max added, self-consciously running a hand through his - now completely silver - mane. "And when you grow old together, you don't feel it as much.""You just wake up one day - at 3 AM, because of a hot flash - and you realize your middle-aged husband just bought a motorcycle.""Word to the wise, Isaiah, try to pick the cool hobbies up now, so you won't be accused of having a midlife crisis later," Max defended himself. "And for the record, she warmed up to the motorcycle.""Yes, once he was done crashing into mailboxes," Judy teased.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah was both amused and inspired by both Judy and Max. Perhaps it was a glimpse of what awaited both Thea and himself in a couple of decades. He chuckled slightly at the thought of picking up the habit of riding a motorcycle. "Well, unless you plan on retrofitting one of these decks as a track, I don't see myself picking up that habit anytime soon," he said. That of course was the future. For the time being, he planned on most of his focus being on the present with Thea.

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] So far Thea had only shared almost a year with Isaiah and in that short amount of time, had created so many wonderful memories. In fact it felt as though they had always been together, so could understand what Max and Judy were saying. Of course she could imagine her and Isaiah having many more years together and she honestly couldn't wait for that to happen. Although did chuckle slightly at the story about the motorcycle. Not that she could see Isaiah wanting one, something that Isaiah himself more or less said as he answered the older couple. " As cool as that sounds, I'd rather have Isaiah in one piece. Although I'm sure there are plenty of hobbies that we can explore".

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]Judy and Max both laughed, for neither the first nor the last time in the evening, which - despite the poor state of play on the basketball court - was very enjoyable. After the game wrapped up, and the food was gone, the time came to part. "Well, this was lovely. Next time at your place?" Max suggested. Judy nodded, sharing her husband's sentiments.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] As the evening began to wrap up, Isaiah had to admit that he had enjoyed himself, despite the Knick's pour outing. Their hosts seemed to have enjoyed themselves just as much as Isaiah and Thea had, he presumed. As the suggestion that they do this again, though with Thea and himself hosting was made, Isaiah was slightly surprised. "Sure, I think we can possibly manage that," Isaiah said. He turned to face Thea to see if she agreed as well. After all, it would be their decision together. "What do you think?"

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Considering that this had been their first time socialising with another couple directly and it being with a superior officer. Thea had thoroughly enjoyed herself even if the Knicks didn't deliver a great performance or give the two couples something to celebrate. No it had been more than that and Thea had learned a lot because of it. So as the evening began to wrap up and left feeling full and happy. The Doctor considered what was said after Judy and Max had suggested that they do this again and that Thea and Isaiah could host next time. As Isaiah answered, Thea smiled and whilst the prospect seemed a little daunting, might be just as enjoyable. Plus it would give them the chance to test out their hosting skills as she answered her Boyfriend. " Yes I agree, I think we can and it should be fun".
