Finally, Bethany was released from sickbay. There was no reason to keep her. Her blood volume was fine, the psilosynine was no longer in her blood stream (something much worse was), her immune system was back to normal, no more racing heart or labored breathing, no fever. She was in perfect health.

Bethany entered Aasrels quarters behind him. She hadn’t wanted to go back to hers. Not yet. She just wanted to be with Aasrel. When the door closed, she looked at him and then walked into his arms.

Bethany

Aasrel opened the door to his quarters and stepped him. When she came to him he hugged her tightly and rested his head against her. “Our first time alone in… how many days?” He asked softly.

~ Aasrel

Bethany rested in his arms, but groaned softly. “Far, far too many.” She kissed his cheek softly and then leaned back to look at him. “I don’t think I’ll know what to do with no one to check in us every half hour, and trying to listen to our conversations.”

Bethany

Aasrel smiled down at her, hugging her close to him. “I have a few ideas, depending on what you’re up for,” he said. He pulled her toward the bed and sat down. “You’re healthy, too. No more time limits, no more illness hanging over your head, no more symptoms. Whatever will you do?”

~ Aasrel

Bethany let him tug her after him and sat down. She laughed softly, “Anything? I don’t remember what that’s like. Maybe you can show me?”

Bethany

Aasrel kissed her, long, slow, and gentle. “I don’t know, my brain still has some healing to do. Maybe we need to figure it out together.”

~ Aasrel

“Well I’ve heard tell that the best ways to help the brain heal is to help trigger memories and play games.” She grinned, wrapped her arms around him, and pressed in close. “If my memory hasn’t been lost to me, I do believe I remember you like having me this close.”

Bethany

Aasrel hugged her, pulling her in closer. “I think it was this close,” he said and smiled. “The hypo pat down would be welcome too, so long as you’re very, very thorough,” he looked down at her, grinning widely.

~ Aasrel

Her hands began to slide up his arms. “Well after all the time I’ve had off, I could really use the practice.” Rhen around his collar and into his hair, around his waist, his ankles, cuffs of his pants and inside his boots. She checked each pouch and loop of his belt, and then she checked his pockets. An inside pocket of his best her brows raised and she looked at him. “You didn’t hide this quite well enough, Doc.” She held up a hypo and wiggled it back and forth and then tossed it onto the desk. “You weren’t going to try and sedate me my first day being healthy were you?”

Bethany

He was liking her touch, she could tell. He wanted her to just keep searching.... but then she found it. Aasrel grinned. “More like… insurance. Can’t have you randomly collapsing on me, just in case this somehow… wears off or something.”

~ Aasrel

Her heart stopped, and then started pounding, but not in a good way. Did he think she was going to get sick again? She did, nothing so miraculous could be real. Could it?

She smiled at him, “Well now that I know you hid one, I’ll have to search again.” She proceeded to do just that and took her time. “Hmmm… I didn’t find another one.” She looked him up and down and then moved close into his arms, “I think I’ll risk it,” and then she kissed him.
