Location: Cally's Quarters
Timeline: After It's The Ocean Pts 1 - 5

Her skin had been rosy and bright pink as they had re-wrapped up from their time on the beach and returned to the ship, but that was one of the typical ways some people got a nice tan. The problem really occurred early the next morning when Calypso had rolled over onto her stomach from sleeping on her back. Her eyes sprung open from the contact and she half-screamed before she rolled over on her other side, then finally back onto her back as she stared up at the ceiling, finally with some relief. One quivering arm was raised and the angry red on it was clearly visible to her.

She breathed in slowly as she reached out for the commbadge next to the bed, but stopped as the crinkling of skin caused another spike of pain. "Computer, open comm to Doctor Kellerman." She got the beep. "Kally! Kally wake up if you're asleep, seriously."

"Hm?...What? Cally? What's wrong? I'm up." Kally's voice went from groggy to worried immediately.

"Good...I need you to come to my quarters, like right now!" She couldn't help but emphasize. "I need you to bring ice and a butt-load of aloe vera. Don't. Ask. Questions. Just do it."

"Understood....Kat....Jad, let me up I need to...hang on. On my way, Kellerman out," she grumbled, closing the channel.

Five minutes later, she came in, half dressed, carrying a medkit and a bag. "Ohhhhh good lord," she said, looking at Cally. "Did you not apply anything before you beamed down?"

"Didn't think I needed to," Cally stated from her state on the bed. "The radiation shouldn't have been that bad, well within the norms for a star of that size with that atmosphere."

Kally sighed and opened up her medkit. She grabbed a programmable hypo and dialed up a dose of electrolytes and concentrated hydration solution, lifting Cally's hip gently and pressing it to her rear end. She then grabbed a small vial with a mister and sprayed Cally from head-to-toe, applying a topical analgesic. She gave one more layer of spray, and then grabbed a dermal regenerator, starting down at Cally's feet, slowly and carefully healing the damaged skin, working her way up the other woman's legs. "I hope this has taught you a lesson," she said.

"Yeah..." Cally muttered to herself. "Don't ever go down to a beach planet. Ever." She twitched a couple of toes from one foot. "Or ask a pretty lady to rub sunscreen all over me?" she asked the other woman.

Kally smirked as she carefully moved past the Captain's hips to her stomach. "Could have asked any time," she reminded her, leaning over and kissing her softly, continuing to work her way up Cally's body. "That was a nice day, though."

"It really was, nice and relaxing, and sunny and warm." Tremors ran up and down her legs, finally able to move, then Cally paused for a moment. "Confusing Alex to nearly tears." She managed a smile on her sunburned face. "Doing that itself is just fun to watch! Without my um...'Instinct', I don't know if I could tell the difference between you two. And I think that would bother me!"

"I bet you could tell," Kally said, healing Cally's breasts, handling them gently. She kissed each nipple and moved her way up to Cally's collarbone and gently positioned herself on top of Cally, pinning her in place as she continued. "Outside we're alike. Inside, we're very different. It's just hard to tell that when we're naked and smiling." She giggled. "But maybe we'll torture you someday too, just for fun."

Her hands and arms free to move, Cally didn't resist being pinned in place, but began to roam with her hands, cupping Kally's rear end in them and squeezing. "Good luck with torturing me; you'll need it! Besides, who says I won't be able to get one back over on you after?" She grinned up at the other woman, gently running her hands down the back of her thighs.

Kally grinned and purred as she moved the regenerator gently over Cally's face and scalp. "You're welcome to try," she said. "But I think I'm too cued into your mind as well. I have you pretty well figured out." She kissed her gently.

"I'm the Captain, I can make all the rules." Cally stuck her tongue out, flexing the muscles in her neck and not feeling the stretchiness and discomfort of the sunburn. "I can find something I can do to cause some revenge, even if it takes a while. Maybe...when we get to Tial, have you go interview some nobility and ask them about their habits in running their holdings?"

"Sure," Kally said, grinning. "I'd love to see how the locals treat a pretty blonde." She winced, thinking about Tessa. "On the other hand, maybe I don't need to bear a warlord's child just yet." She deactivated the dermal regenerator and ran her hands over Cally's newly tanned skin. "Better?" she said, smiling.

"Much better." Cally leaned forward suddenly, grabbing Kally from behind to make sure she didn't fall backwards, twisting them both on their sides and gave her a quick kiss from the motion as well. "Really, really sorry for waking you up, but I didn't need anyone else to see me in such a compromising position. I really screwed that one up."

Kally kissed her back happily. "Well, next time see me before we go down so I can apply something to prevent a burn. I promise that would be far more fun than lying here while I fix it afterwards." She teased her fingertips down Cally's sides and then along her thighs. "As for waking me...well, Katie still has Jadizon to keep her warm. Of course, I may have to monitor you to make sure you're not having any adverse effects from overexposure." She smiled, snuggling up against Cally and hooking a leg teasingly over her hip.

"Will that include a checkup?" Cally shivered from the apparent 'disadvantage' of being nude whereas Kally still had clothing on, but she knew how she was going to handle that little detail. "A full motion test to make sure that no little bit of overcooking was overlooked?" She nuzzled the other's neck, kissing around it to the hollow of her throat, before working up the chin.

Kally purred. "Of course. Full body inspection, muscle extension, nerve stimulation, and, as always, considerable aerobic activity to promote blood flow." She let her hands wander a bit more freely. "You're just lucky I make house calls to my favorite patients."

"I'll consider myself the most lucky person on this side of the Federation border, then," Cally murmured before she made her way to Kally's lips, her own hands working their way under the hem of the other's short shorts, before they made their way north of the border and up her bare back under the shirt.

Kally wasn't the type usually to melt from someone else's words, but she felt a definite fluttering in her stomach and as Cally's hands went up her back, she assisted by removing her top and tossing it aside, intent on making sure those butterflies were mutual as she dove in for the kiss. Neither of them were going to get any more sleep that night if she had anything to say about it.
