Setting the bags near the dresser and began to take in the details, the pieces of his life he felt were important to have out, including the medal. He’d probably laugh if she knew hers had spent past years in a storage locker on Earth, unneeded until they were. She had them with her, tucked into her bag since she might actually be in a dress uniform from time to time on her new assignment.

Moving over to the dresser, she found the first drawer that was free and began to unpack her duffel. She had never needed a ton of clothes either, so it all fit neatly into one drawer. The one thing about always having been on assignment was that she gathered items, including clothing, specific to her undercover role and then it was all recycled to remove evidence she had ever been there. It had never bothered her before, but as she set her basic set of garments into the dresser, she realized that her time on the Manhattan with Faye had been the first time since she herself had travelled the Delta Quadrant that she had lived somewhere and taken something with her. Back in San Francisco there was a crate of her true worldly possessions and maybe it was time to be reunited with the tiny pieces of a life lived.

The smell of fresh coffee wafted up from downstairs and soon Micah came up the stairs and walked over to Shara, mug in each hand.

By the time he traipsed up the stairs, Shara found herself gazing out one of the windows, lost in thought. It smelled good though. Real good.

“Here you go. As promised. And none of that replicated, neo-soy bulls#!+ either. This is the good stuff.” he said as he handed her a cup. “Get settled okay?” he asked as he took a drink.

“Yeah,” Shara said softly. “Not much that needed unpacking. A few things I’ll put in the bathroom later, but I’m a light packer.” Siping the coffee, she sighed a little, a smile upon her face as she gazed out over the landscape. “You got water on this land of yours?”

~Shara

Micah smiled and said “Two creeks, three ponds, and a little bit of marsh. Yep, sure do. You wanna go for a walk later? Got me a few spots I could show ya that might make you regret having to leave after a while, at least.” and he smiled and nudged her elbow. He looked out at the view as the blue sky contrasted with the dark green tree tops of the surrounding wood.

“You know… no matter how many times I see that view… it’s never not beautiful.” and he turned his head and looked directly at Shara.

“Trees aren’t bad, either…”
