Lily didn't answer him, which was rather a blow to his ego. He'd thought they'd been getting along famously, and he'd rather hoped she'd come back. He'd started her a present and everything. This was the problem with the immortal types--they never quite understood how the game was supposed to be played. Nathan held up the finished flower he'd folded, spent a moment admiring his own handiwork, and then tucked it into his unbuttoned shirt. He probably ought to do something about that, he realized. Ah well. Nobody was about to complain, except possibly Bubbly, and he had the uncomfortable feeling that she probably wasn't going to.
That decided him, and he buttoned his shirt back up, all the same. If they survived this, it was best not to tempt Alyssa's ire, after all. Even unintentionally, and completely innocently.
He turned back to the rest of sickbay, just in time for Alyssa's voice to come over the comm, like his thoughts had summoned her. Only, unfortunately, it wasn't him she was talking to.
//"Bobby? Can you hear me? This is Lt. Commander-- This is Alyssa.//"
Nathan glanced about, knowing beforehand he wouldn't see anyone. After all, he'd been in nearly all the byways off of sickbay, and not seen anybody, least of all...Bobby.
He caught a flash of Bubbly's eyes directed at him, and glanced back at her, catching the tail end of her mouthing something at him. Probably something about Bobby. He was pretty sure he knew who Alyssa was talking to, whether he could see the kid or not, but...well, given that he didn't know what the plan was, it was probably best not to draw much attention to the comm. So instead, he shook his head, grabbing another piece of paper as he wandered back over to where Bubbly stood at the control panel, apparently having dashed off another of her reports while he was talking.
"So," he said conversationally, "back to your theory about Ms. Lily's time powers--or alleged lack thereof." Maybe discussing her would bring her attention back to him. "Have you considered that perhaps she simply wants to torture us?"
