Chocolate Milk

Andrew has been in a mood since the little adventure everyone had on Alemar III. He hates getting sick and he almost had gotten sick during the cave-ins. He also really disliked the fact that he couldn't really help as much as he would have liked.

It wasn't his fault that he was only nine. If only he was more capable of helping. Andrew frowns a little harder. This is going to take some thought. Clearly he needs more chocolate milk. Chocolate milk seems to be the answer to everything right now.

Andrew gets up to wander towards the replicator. He is pretty much set on ignoring everyone in Ten Forward. That doesn't really work out for him so much. Instead of ignoring everyone and continuing on his quest to be a grumpy kid he starts to take in everything going on around him. Ten Forward itself is pretty busy right now.

Andrew frowns a little more and hurries along to go get his drink. He doesn't want to lose his seat to someone else right now. He gets his chocolate milk as quickly as he can and scampers back to his seat sliding back in and making a low pleased noise. Good. It was still his though by the looks of it he won't be the only one at this table for too much longer.

"ind of, Kitt," the boy admits. The fact that Kitt is a total blank to him is almost nice. He doesn't know just how to react to the hologram avatar of the talking car. The fact Kitt is an actual AI does interest Andrew but it's mostly because he is in a car.

"I've just been in a bit of a mood since I got back from that planet."

Kitt likes kids. He just doesn't know much about them. Most of his interactions with humans have been with adults, so he tends to treat children as smaller versions of grown-ups. Sorry, Andrew. He's trying.

"What happened to you there? I meant to check in with you sooner; I apologize for my neglect." He canted his head, studying the boy and gauging his mood. "I have a feeling you're probably going to need more chocolate milk."

"I got caught in one of the cave-ins," Andrew starts. "I broke my foot."

He wiggles the toes of the foot that had been broken. They tingle a bit but that might just be in his head."I also lost my inhaler. But it's okay. I didn't have an attack."

Just trouble breathing after the first day. His lungs had started to feel super heavy.

"I just... I wish I could have helped more."

"Oh my." Kitt's curiosity changes immediately to concern. "I'm sorry, Andrew. I'm glad that you're all right now, but I wish I had been there to help." He leans over to check out Andrew's foot under the table, making sure for himself that it's okay. "Is there not something that the doctors in this time can do to help or cure your asthma? Have you been able to get another inhaler?" Surely the replicators could produce another for him?

He nods in understanding. "I feel the same way. I wasn't familiar enough with the technology to help as much as I would have liked. From what I gather it was somewhat outdated for this time, but it still seemed quite advanced to me." Not for the first time, he felt sympathy for Andrew, being here in a strange place, and so young. He was glad of his dog, at least, in that Andrew wasn't entirely alone.

"How do you think you might have helped more?"

"I guess, I just haven't... exactly asked." He looks a touch uncomfortable. Andrew does't like having attention focused on him. He also hates talking about his asthma given that it makes him feel useless.

"I took care of it." Not as well as he should have. He just mentally tells himself he had better go talk to one of the medical staff soon. "My lungs are doing okay right now."

Andrew knows he would have been useless with technology too. He is only okay with computers back home. The ones here are really weird. "I'm... A little different. I could sense the Crystaloids."

"Perhaps you should. If it would help, I could go with you to ask." Kitt wasn't one to judge a person on the basis of a condition they weren't responsible for. No one was capable of doing everything.

"I'm glad to hear it." It doesn't mean that Kitt won't be keeping a closer eye on him in the future. But now he tilts his head again, narrowing his eyes with interest. "You could sense them?"
