Daggum smiled and reached for the blanket and wrapped her up in it and then pulled her close to him. “V… I think it’s time you upack and settle in. And I don’t mean your stuff. I mean yourself. And when I say settle in, I’m not talking about the ship or anything… I mean life. You can have a good one… if you let yourself. But I really do hope you will think about talking to someone other than me. Don’t get me wrong… I enjoy our talks very much. But I think you may need some guidance… just a nudge here and there that I don’t know how to give. Does that make sense?”

Daggum

Nestling close to Daggum, her body relaxed and she began to feel a little calmer. For several moments she was silent as she let his words sink in and then thought about them. Looking up at him, Viyara finally said, “It does make sense and I’m also afraid of talking with someone else. You really get me and even though it sometimes scares me that you can read me like my book, it also makes me feel safe. I’m afraid that another person won’t understand me and of what might happen when I talk to someone else.”

“Another person may not understand you… at first. But you will get there. You did with me, so you can with someone else. But its something you should at least try. I don’t think you will be truly happy until you do… and that is something you deserve, V. Being happy.”

Daggum

Viyara nodded a little as she shifted her position so that her legs were now draped over Daggum’s thighs and face was nestled against his shoulder and chest. “I always thought that I have been happy, but maybe you’re right.” With her face somewhat hidden, she whispered, “Thank you Daggum. For everything. I love you.” As the last words left her lips, she froze and even held her breath. That was not what she had meant to say! She had meant to tell him that she really like him and that he was a good friend. Too much taken by surprise by her own words, Viyara just sat there in silence while her face turned a deep shade of red again.
