Posted by Lieutenant Todd Nyman (Chief Counselor) in [DIPINC] The Medical Suite
Loughty and Saoir were directed to the medical suite. It would be a while before Nyman returned from helping Kerax in the main medical bay. There was still no direct mention of any promise to reunite them with their remaining crew members.

The room was designed to be a private treatment area for officers, and to accommodate long–term recovery. It was rather comfortable, with a warmer color palette brought out more by the calm, steady lighting. Blankets, changes of clothes, and even a few snacks and sweets remained out and accessible. It seemed like a time capsule of how the ship must have been before.

Todd came in, not even attempting to shift back into a human form before unceremoniously tossing himself onto one of the beds in exhaustion.

“I’m sorry, Commander,” he said, with a heavy sigh, “About my appearance, I mean. There are certain procedures that are easier to do in this form. That, and it could be considered rude to remain… you know. She is recovering well, though.”

Saoir stepped into the medical suite, the adrenaline from his recent fight still running through his veins. He felt every bruise, every scrape, the aches settling in now that the tension was slipping away. His muscles were sore, and the bruises beneath his uniform hinted at the toll of the skirmish, yet he wore his victory like a shield, proud and unyielding, very much unlike a Kelpien.

He took in the room, assessing the scene before him. The warm lights cast soft shadows over every surface, from the piles of blankets to the table with small luxuries scattered across it, snacks and sweets as if they had never left the mess hall.
He spotted Todd sprawled across one of the beds, and a bit further off, Commander Loughty sat, looking worn but collected. “Todd, Commander… I didn’t know if I’d see either of you again.” His voice transitioned from the gruff edge of combat giving way to sincerity.
He looked between them, a sense of gratitude settling over him. After the fight and the uncertainty, finding them both here felt like more than he’d dared hope for.
