Aasrel nodded. His hair ended up, as he’d predicted, a little shorter than he liked, but all the same length and it looked good. His PT was hard that day but easier in a way with the emotions surrounding his limbs suppressed. He remembered to ask about his vacation.

Later, they were landing on Betazed. Aasrel was lounging in the seat next to Bethany’s pilot seat, a caged Luna on his lap. He seemed to have taken a liking to the bunny. “Are we there yet?” He asked jokingly, grinning at Bethany.

Luna had taken a liking to Aasrel as well. It amused Bethany, but she loved it. She shook her head, “Wait for it…” She held up three fingers and slowly lowered them on by one. As the last went down, the shuttle dropped out of warp, and there before them, filling the view was the lush beautiful orb of Betazed.

“There’s home,” Aasrel said to the little bunny, grinning. “Isn’t it beautiful?”

Bethany hadn’t seen it in years, not since they left when she was a child. She had thought maybe the sight would make her feel like she was going home, like seeing Earth did, but there was only mild curiosity.

=/\=Shuttle Athena this is Betazed Star control. Please verify registration and passangers.=/\=

=/\=Betazed Star Control, this is the Athena, OPNOR-04. Two Passangers: I am Lt. Cmdr Bethany Kovra Gadi, and I am transporting Lt. Aasrel Izei. Both of Star Fleet ship USS Asimov. Transporting flight plan and pre-approved itinerary.=/\=

There was silence before the comms crackled again. =/\=Athena you are cleared to begin decent to land at Pasa landing. Enjoy your stay.=/\=

=/\=Aknowledged Star Control, coordinates and trajectory received. Thank you. Athena out.=/\= The shuttle began it’s controlled decent through the atmosphere. The weather was preparing for a storm but the turbulence wasn’t too bad. Soon the shuttle was on solid ground and powered down. “Alright Rel, it’s your show now.”

Lt. Cmdr. Gadi, COS

Aasrel stood from the seat and hopped out of the shuttle, still carrying Luna’s carrier. Once they were finished with the shuttle, he turned to Bethany, “Want to head straight home and put our things away or do something else?”
