Once past the airlock, Bethany relaxed. She stopped in the corridor and put a hand on his shoulder. “I am so sorry, Aasrel. I didn’t expect to see anyone who knew me. That’s my fault. I put you in danger. I’ll never forgive myself.”

Bethany

Aasrel shook his head. “You couldn’t have known it would happen. We’re both fine. Don’t worry about it. I’ve faced worse than an angry Cardassian and his Nausican assistant.” He walked with her, leading her back towards medical. With a teasing look, “I did say no running.”

“I’m too experienced to make such a careless mistake.” She nodded accepting that the Borg were much worse than Vaec. “He’s dangerous because he has a temper and he’s strong and he’s dumb. He can’t conceive of a fight that doesn’t involve fists or guns.” She grinned and bumped her hip against his. “Well I had to decide. Run and be a bit sick or die. I mean there was the chance of a fist fight, but that seemed worse than running.” As they got to the lift she paused. “See you later?”

Bethany

“You’re coming with me,” Aasrel said as the lift doors opened. He pulled her into the lift with him. “You didn’t really think I’d let you get off without a medical check after all that excitement, did you?”

She was yanked into the lift, “What??” She sighed and just grinned. “No, I didn’t. I feel fine, really, but I won’t protest.” The lift started to move. She leaned against the wall and sighed. “How did I get an El-Aurian neurotransmitter? I’m Betazoid and Human.”
