The Doctor and the Chrysanthemum

[Doc Holliday]

"You can have all the admiration in the world and still feel like you live in a barren universe."
Doc paused a few moments after she spoke these words, taking a deep sigh as he did. He gave a nod and softly remarked, "Is that not the truth."
With him living alone nowadays and Emiko making her own way through the world in ways he disapproved of, he had little even if he had a whole Enterprise behind him. What made it harder to deal with was that he was now talking face to face with a woman that she referred to as sister. Still, he buried it. For him to reveal her identity could possibly be bad for them both. It wasn't a chance that he was about to take.

"I guess you started life earlier than I did," he stated. "I was 19 when I left home. My mother died when I was young so I had to do something and medicine was my calling even if I started with dentistry."
He took a bite of his sushi. It was obvious that he wasn't the most versed man with a set of chopsticks. He fumbled with them but managed. "This is quite good," he said with a nod of approval. When finished, he cued in on her musical talents.

"You said your talents are in music. It is something we have in common. What do you play? I am a piano player myself."
