itsjustlanguageHoshi was taking advantage of the pleasant San Francisco weather to go for an early morning jog when she saw Commander Archer approaching from the other direction. Just like yesterday at the orientation, she smiled shyly but wasn't entirely sure what to say to him.
"Morning, Hoshi," said Archer, smiling. "You're in for a treat today. Lieutenant Tucker will be taking your group on a tour of the Intrepid's engine room."
Hoshi opened her mouth but couldn't find the words. "Oh, um, that sounds nice," she mumbled.
"Engines aren't your thing, I guess," Archer said. "Are you all settled in your dorm room? Getting along with your roommate?"
"Yeah," mumbled Hoshi. "She's really into bugs."
Archer chuckled. "My roommate during my first year at Stanford was a so-called weapons expert who was constantly polishing his phase pistol. Of course, I probably drove him nuts with all my talk about water polo. Don't worry, it's only for a week."
"Oh, I don't mind. I don't have a roommate at school this semester and it's nice to have another person to talk to," Hoshi was quick to say.
"How do the dorms here compare to the ones at your school?" asked Archer.
"Um, the food replicators work," said Hoshi. "I'm not crazy about the artificial cheesecake, though."
"Neither am I," said Archer, giving her a warm smile. "Porthos seems to like it, though, but he likes anything that he's not supposed to be eating," he added, looking at the beagle who was trailing him.
"Hi Porthos," said Hoshi, crouching a bit so she could pat the dog on the head. He rewarded her by licking her face.
"I have a meeting with Captain Leonard in half an hour, so I really need to get going," said Archer. "But I'm sure I'll see you after lunch when they have the science labs tour. Come on, Porthos, we've got quite a hike."
But Porthos did not follow his master. Instead, he trotted after Hoshi, who giggled when she noticed the dog was following her.
Archer sighed. "Looks like he's trying to get out of another boring meeting. Hoshi, do you mind taking Porthos with you? Just bring him back to my office before your first workshop. Trip will be happy to show you where it is."
"Sure!" said Hoshi, smiling as she watched chase his own tail.
