Revnna sat in her quarters. It had been a long day, full of appointments back to back and she didn’t have the energy to do much. She wasn’t due for another round with the dermal regenerator in sickbay until the following day. At first she had tried to get the doctors to work faster, but healing couldn’t be rushed. She knew that. THe regenerator simply sped up the process the body couldn’t heal overnight and it needed time to recover from the repairs. Her arms and hands were shaking slightly and tingling, her chest felt like there was a weight on it. She had not over exerted herself. She had not been moving furniture or unpacking boxes. She hadn’t taken a run around the decks. Today was just a bad day. She increased the hold on the pillow she had pressed against her chest and breathed to a four count and let it out slowly.
CHERP Revna groaned. Who would bother her now? She could think of two people and neither one was she up to dealing with tonight. “REVNA EDMAN OPEN THIS DOOR!” Revna let out a soft whimper of pain. Okay so she didn’t want to deal with either of those people tonight, but out of the two her sister was the last one. Revna hit a button on the table next to her and the door opened. “Get in here, before people make complaints about you.”
Revna glared at her sister. “Don’t you dare look at…” she breathed, “at me like that.” Revna had just changed the canister in the hypo because she’d finished the old one. She had no qualms using the meds the doctor gave her, and she did exactly the way she had been told to. “Yes I used my medicine. It just hasn’t fully kicked in yet.” She saw Runa relax and she had to smile. When they were younger they had been a force to reckon with. Not only keeping the children in line, but the adults as well, simply by their antics in order to keep the adults distracted and away from their fun.
It had been over three years since she had actually been in company with her sister. And so much had changed since then. “Come, sit, tell me the gossip while the meds work.” Because if Runa didn’t stop pacing it was going to drive Revna crazy. She knew Runa had gone on a date, but Runa hadn’t told her who. And, well, Runa was her sister, and she was going to tease her mercilessly. Even if they were too old for that.
Revna nudged her sister, “So?” Runa looked at her a bit confused, “Oh come on! You aren’t going to tell me who you went with?” She watches as her sister blushes and shakes her head ‘no.’ Revna squeezes her sister’s hand, “You really like him don’t you?” Runa nods and Revna drops it. “So why ARE you in my quarters? What was so urgent?”
“Yes, I am. Give me a few minutes.” She picks a dress out of her clothes, very similar to Runa’s. The top cream with an emerald green skirt, accented with golds and browns. The cut is slightly different from Runa’s but the colors are the same. The dresses accenting their hair and eyes. She showers and changes. “Okay Runa, let’s go eat.”
