Luke chuckled, “You’re right on not being paid enough and by my overthinking of the situation. It was just a thought” Thinking back to the other mans comment of the ‘brass will do what the brass wants” Oh how true that comment was, sometimes it required a little descent in the ranks for it all to make sense but this wasn’t one of those times and even Luke could see that.

Shara was still listening to their conversation (she had been quietly polishing off the chowder), though in this moment she had picked up the cup of coffee, both hands wrapped gently around it’s smooth surface, absorbing the heat. Simple things, simple luxuries. So many things in the last few days had converged in her life in unexpected ways. The Delta Quadrant and Faye had always been two entities unto themselves and here they were mixed up and merged. But if she had learned anything in the last couple of years, it was that all she could do was lean into it all. Her own PTSD demanded she take things slowly and with gentleness, but that definitely had become something of a different reality when faced with watching her daughter struggle and suffer all over again, even if this time it had been rather different.

“You gotta be careful about those thoughts, that’s how I ended up in this job,” Walker said chuckling.

Looking over at Shara he noticed her quiet reflection. “Speaking of thoughts, it looks like someone is lost in them. Penny for your thoughts Commander?”

“Hmmm?” Shara said, her attention shifting back to her dining companions. “Oh.”

Picking up his own spoon, Walker took another bite of the chowder.

Calloway was quiet for a moment. “I don’t know. Just a lot of complicated reflection to match a complicated and eventful life,” she mused with a small smile. “It’s strange being here though. I’m not on duty, by the way, so it’s Shara. I’m here for Faye and at the end of the day it’s the way it should have always been. But I keep thinking how things in my life have come full circle in odd ways. It’s… weird,” she said with a small and crooked smile.

Walker nodded. “Things do have a way of coming back around in ways you’d least expect it. In some ways even though the universe is infinite, it is a very small place.”
