Just Say Ow

Geoffrey was wandering, naked. Again. After losing everything to that new game of 'poker,' he'd been in the media library (again) trying to catch up with at least Javert when it came to all this strange, futuristic stuff. The result of those hours spent, unfortunately, was confusion, a pounding headache, and stars before his eyes.

He'd sort of wandered down toward the medical area, because the pain was truly ridiculous, but he didn't really think they'd have anything overly helpful. Books, real books, with proper spelling and a non-glowing surface to read from, those were the things he truly needed.

"Damn my eyes," he muttered - not entirely without humor - as he paused to rub at them. "Damn them to a hell worse than this, just as soon as I'm done using them."

"Beyond a pounding headache? Yes, I am quite fine."

Geoff looked up at the woman and smiled, completely comfortable in his own skin. He recognized her, vaguely, as one of the crew members who were slightly newer than he was, but that was about all. The med bay had been a bit weird for him, so he hadn't stuck around it very long after the fighting.

"I could perhaps help with that.... Your headache that is..." Jean stammered, making sure she focused on his face and nothing else.

She was silent for a moment before finally bursting out with, "Might I ask why you're naked?"

"My headache? Do you have some remedy beyond rest, gentle lady?" he asked curiously.

Then he paused and looked down at himself. Why was he naked? An excellent question, and one he had no intention of answering truthfully.

Well, at least not with the whole truth, at any rate.

"As for my state of undress, I apologize if it gives you offense, but at present, any method of clothing myself seems to be beyond my means."

"Well I am a doctor, I'm sure I could come up with something," Jean said with a small smile. She was sure she could find something to help....

Her gaze momentarily followed his, and immediately shot right back up, her cheeks instantly turning several different shades of red.

"Oh, well... I wouldn't say distressed, more... Seeing a naked man wandering around isn't something I'm use to seeing everyday...." She paused her brows arching in question. "Didn't you get one of these lovely suits like everyone?"

If this woman was a doctor, perhaps she did know some tea or herb that would relieve the ache. Chaucer nodded, "I suppose some earlier respite would be welcome."

Looking up just quickly enough to catch where the good doctor was looking, Geoff looked left, then up, before back to her. He was torn between amusement and awkwardness; his nudity seemed to be causing plenty of problems, but he couldn't really understand why everyone insisting on noticing. With a sigh, he explained, "I chose to forgo the suit, as it seems hardly more than a second skin, and a vulgar one at that." He meant the pulsing. "I would rather be clothed properly, or wear naught at all."

Jean still wasn't sure about all the medical supplies the ship had, but she was more than sure she could relieve his headache by other means - mainly by massassing some of the pressure points on his head.

"I can understand that," Jean agreed with a nod of her head. And she did actually. Maybe she didn't mind the suit as much because of the uniform she wore with the X-Men.

"If there was something else to wear, I'd gladly wear it instead," She sighed and then lifted her hands and motioned to his head. "May I?"
