Jera had despite objections from both her teacher and father come into sickbay on her own. It was ridiculous to think she needed some one to help her get there. But there the teen was walking into the medical bay with a bruised eye, busted lip and bloody nose, a wad of gauze still held under her nose.

The gorn doctor had been busy walking to the coffee machine when he saw the doors open and the stranger steps into the sickbay. Running over to the Bajoran girl a look of concern was on his reptilian face. " What happened? " he asked with his other hand searching his pockets for his Tricorder.

She moved the gauze to reveal a rather large amount of blood, though most of it had already clotted. "I got punched in the face is what happened." She sounded a bit agitated. But it was more of a exhausted or exasperated sound then real anger. She had clearly been hit more then once, and while it looked bad, it clearly wasn't any permanent damage.

The gorn clicked his tongue side to side as he did the scan before becoming the young woman to follow him. " Well let'sss get you cleaned up and get that nose fixed." He said calmly

She gave a rather congested sigh following him. "Fixed? As in broken? not again.. I mean last time I fell down a hill... Teacher sent the other student to one of the other sick bays." She sounded far more annoyed then anything else, like his was at least semi-normal for her. even though it was the first time it had happened on a star fleet ship.

" We ssshall sssee. Let'sss get you cleaned up. Pleassse take a ssseat and i'll get something to clean up that nossse." The gorn said as he entered one of the rooms. He pointed to one of the biobeds as he began rummaging in a container for something.

She sat down on the biobed. wincing as she tried to wiggle her nose the whole ridge being rather numb at the moment. It occurred to her she had in fact never met a Gorn in star fleet before.

" Okay letsss'sss get thisss cleaned up." The gorn said as he held up some cotton wool and a small bottle of a clear liquid. " Thisss will sting a little, but it will help get it cleaned and sssterilized. "

She raised her chin a bit giving him clear access to the area. Wincing just a little as she was cleaned up. "Honestly the eye hurts worse then the nose, it's kind of numb actually."

" I'll take a look at that in a ssseconed." He said as he used a small strip of tape to hold the cotton wool in place. " Now let'sss take a look at that eye." he said picking up his Tricorder

The soft tissue had swollen pretty badly and was putting some pressure on the eye itself but it was more or less unharmed in and of itself.

" Thisss ssshoudn't be hard to fix. How did you get into thisss ssstate anyway?" The gorn asked as he picked up a tool and began running it along the eyelids.

She huffed a bit. "I had a... heated political disagreement with another student... Then I might have, hit him. Then It just escalated into a all out fist fight."

" What was the political disssagreement about?" The gorn said as he calmly worked.

"The overall trustworthiness of Klingon's." She let that stand before figuring it needed explaining. "That is to say he made it clear he thought Klingon's where untrustworthy because there ideal of Honor basically amount to respect and not actually any greater ideal of being morally right... I mean he's totally correct on that part. It's just the concept of throwing a whole race into one group like that."

" I knew sssome klingonsss who would take great offenssse at that. Sssome of the most kindessst, welcoming, noble people I ever knew." The gorn said his voice showing sign of remorse.

She gave a half laugh half snort, regretting it instantly it clearly hurting a bit. "Maybe? But I'm pretty sure the Ambassador isn't going to be pleased." She said it dismissively, but again chose to correct her own inside joke. "Ambassador Toran is my father, maybe you have seen him? The two meter tall Graying Klingon?" She clearly didn't mean biological father, the girl being full blooded Bajoran biologically.

The gorn chuckled slightly as a thought came into his head. " I've ssseen him around. I may have given him an inoculation many yearsss ago when i was ssserving in the KDF. The name doesss ring a bell. "

She gave as little of a nod as she could get away with. "Sounds about right, oh, I'm suppose to go to one of the Counselors after this, so take your time doctor."

" The head counssselor is a lovely woman whom you have nothing to be afraid of. Though i can run a full ssscan for infection if you want to ssstay here a little longer." the gorn replied.

She rolled her head a little shrugging. "No I don't think that will be necessary. I might as well get on with it."

" Very well." The gorn said as he fnished his work. Scooting his chair across the floor he picked up a small pill bottle. " Take two of thessse for the pain. "

She gave a nod. Waiting for him to finish up and taking said bottle. She was at least not like her father, she would actually follow doctors instruction. "All right, I'll let you know if anything else bothers me about it, but it should be fine I think."

" If anything goes wrong come right back here." the gorn said as his patient left his room.

She got up feeling gently over her nose, and giving a nod. "Thank you doctor. I'll be on my way if you don't mind."
