Back in the bathroom, Viyara grabbed the basin as hard as she could while looking at herself in the reflection of the mirror. She tried to put names to how she was feeling at the moment, but the only thing she came up with was unease. And that just didn’t seem to cover it. She also felt the urge to hurt herself. But the last thing she wanted to happen was to end up in sickbay. So she fought the urge. And with her tension ball in her room, the rim of the basin would have to do as a substitute and something to hold onto for now.

When she felt like she had a handle on herself again, Viyara let finally go of the basin and washed herself before changing into fresh clothes. Today’s outfit was pleated black, grey and magenta tartan miniskirt and a simple tank top in a darker shade of magenta. With her hair pulled back into her trademark messy ponytail, she walked out of the bathroom. And after dropping her pyjama onto her bed and picking up the tension ball from her nightstand, she returned to the kitchen and gave Janna a small smile.

Viyara knew she should say something, but she also really wanted to see Daggum and didn’t want to jeopardise that. And really, nothing had happened, she rationalised as she filled her mug with more coffee and got herself a cinnamon bagel with some plain cream cheese. Sitting down at the table, she asked instead, “How did you sleep? And how are you doing?”

Kingston nodded as she finished swallowing a bite. “I’m okay. Reasonable sleep. Though I had this weird dream I was with my moms… who knows where we were, and there were all these kittens everywhere and everyone seemed to think this was normal. So I’m just going about my day and then this itty bitty new born rabbit the length of my thumb bites me on said thumb and I’m just staring at the bite marks thinking it very odd. But just the bite marks, not the exceptionally tiny bunny.” She threw he rhands out. “Dreams… don’t ask me,” she said with a laugh.

Viyara had just started on her first bite of the bagel and nearly inhaled it as she burst out laughing as well. Covering her mouth with her hand and turning her face away, she coughed a few times, tears glistening in her eyes. “That is the weirdest and most hilarious dream I’ve ever been told,” she managed to reply. “Thank you for sharing. I really needed that laugh,” she admitted before she knew what she was saying.

Janna still smiled, but it softened. “What’s troubling you? Though I can regale you with more funny dreams. That was not my first by any means.”

Allowing herself a few moments to fully compose herself, Viyara drank a few sips of coffee before answering Janna’s question. Or trying to at least. “I’m not sure, to be honest. All I know is that I suddenly started to feel a bit … unease? I guess? I don’t know how else to describe it,” she replied, her brows pulled together in a frown, her shoulders pulled up a little and her free arm wrapped around her middle.
