OTA - Ro has returned to the Enterprise

Before Sickbay -

Ro was sitting in Ten forward, coloring. Just as she had been a moment ago. She was 12 years old again, thanks to a transporter malfunction during a spacial anomaly that broke up her shuttle craft. The other three had been restored to adulthood already, but Ro had finally taken Guinan's advice, and for just a few brief moments had decided to allow herself to embrace being a kid.

Maybe it wasn't some glorious second childhood, maybe her body had been violated but... Even as a bunch of kids, they had just kicked some serious Ferengi butt. So what could one picture hurt? She never had drawn a picture of her mother when she was younger.

But when she looked up to hand Guinan the blue crayon... she found herself alone. Her brows furrowed. Where... had she gone? Frowning, she stood to look for her. She didn't gain much height from standing. She was tired of being 12. Her phaser rode comfortably on her hip, and she reminded herself that twelve or not, she could, and would, defend this vessel. Already had.

And she's being swerved around by a guy in a red leather jacket, since she, more or less, stood up in his path.

"Woah! Hey, outta the road, Short Round, people're walkin' here."

His tone is jovial, regardless of the words. He doesn't mean any insult or reprimand by them.

"Gotta say, people just poofin' into my walkin' path is becomin' a bit too much of a thing 'round here."

"It was just a joke." Quill remarks, shrugging. "No need to get your panties in a twist." It might've been in poor taste, sure, but he's not exactly going to apologise. The tone is one he recognises, but, eh. People are always pissed off at him for some reason, you get used to it.

He is, however, going to take a second look at Ro.

"You still suffering from that kid bullshit Q pulled? The docs have a cure now, y'know."
partofaplan: (duh)

"...You sure? I don't think you could pack half the crew onto a shuttlecraft."

Because now he's just confused.

"Oh, right... it must've happened to you, too." Quill shakes his head. Fucking Q, making things complicated. "Lemme explain, you ain't where you were a few minutes ago. And it's thanks to Q that you're here."

"Well, that turn was about three weeks ago." Quill remarks, folding his arms. "So, I think you missed your appointment. But, hey. You got a communicator, there. Why don'cha go off and find out that I'm tellin' the truth yourself?"

You go do that, Ro, he'll just plop himself down at a table, boots propped up in a spare chair, until you come back.
