Maybe at some point she would acclimate to the sensation his touch caused on her skin but for Janna just accepted the tingles as a moment for her to process. NOt that she was complaining either. Concern for him radiated off her and Janna gazed at him, her grass green eyes intense. “When you say you have to return, how often and how do you even go about that? The whole thing with Kivon was unpredicted, wasn’t it?”

Orvos nodded. “Kivon was definitely not on the agenda. It varies to be fair. I’ve gone months to years without having to go back. I have a place that I own, hidden away that nobody has been to. I’m an engineer naturally, so I’ve built there a shuttle of sorts to get me where I need to go. Not always easy. To be honest, it can be quite annoying. I only know to go when that drive hits me. It’s almost like an addiction. But it’s not one I particularly want. I spent way too much time in it, and now I must endure the consequences.”

There was a part of him that understood and accepted his fate, but there was another part that greatly disliked it.

Janna gazed at the lightning periodically striking the water before looking back at him. “Who else on this ship knows about this need to return to the Nexus?” She already suspected she knew the answer but it was important they establish this fact very clearly. After all, it wasn’t just him anymore. He was the captain of a starship, responsible for the lives of many.

Orvos sighed, confident it would not be an answer that was liked. “Currently on the ship? You’re the only other one. So many different faces and I’ve barely had time to get to know many of them, let alone trust them with such information.” He looked back to her, his hand reaching gently to brush a strand of hair out of her face.

His fingers brushed her skin, leaving a trail of warmth as they passed.

“You’ve been a good constant for me,” he added with a sheepish grin.

Janna smiled at him and reached out, resting her hand on the side of his face. “I’m glad for that,” she said softly. “But before I let you change the topic entirely you know you’re going to have to bring someone else into this. Doctor Grey, your first officer. This is not something you can just hide from them until the time comes for it to be an issue. You are responsible for the lives of many here. They depend on you, Orvos. They trust you to make sure you can still be the captain. I’m not saying you have to tell someone else today, and I know that it won’t be easy, but if it helps, I can be there. You tell your secret, I tell my own. Well, with Stone anyway. Grey obviously knows,” she said with a smirk.

She was right, even though he hated to admit it. The continuation of everything he had done for the ship depended on it. She was anchoring him here, and he found himself growing to like it. That didn’t mean he would like sharing what information he needed to with the appropriate parties.

“I know,” he sighed as he looked out to the random bolts of lightning in the distance. “We’ll have a scheduled appointment with Grey soon anyway. Perhaps then will be a good time to spring it on him?” He spoke with a the hint of a chuckle at the end.

Janna nodded. “Probably. It’s certainly convenient.”

“As for the first officer…I’ll handle that initially though she may want your input at some point given the other things you and I seem to be going through together.”

“Well, I actually haven’t shared it with her yet. To be honest, I’m still wrapping my mind around it and trying to figure out exactly what I can do, what I can tap into, as it were.” Janna blew out a breath. “I don’t mind, it, just so you know. But it has been… a big change.”

He sighed as other things dawned on him that he still had not yet conveyed. It was better now than never to bring up his strange circumstances involving the ship’s orion/klingon lounge manager. He had no idea how she would take it. But he hesitated, perhaps in fear at the unknown.

She reached over and rested her hand over his, slipping her fingers between his. It felt so natural, and truthfully she had wanted to do that long before the whole Nexus thing. But their induced intimacy made it feel much more like a need now. “What it is, darling? Talk to me.”
