Frigga nosed her hand and arm softly, forcing it back down. She licked Dira’s hand and her tail thumped against the woman’s leg. Frigga laid still for a long two minutes, but no one came to check on her friend. She lifted her head and turned towards the partition and barked twice.

=/\=FRIGGA YOU WILL NOT START THAT BEHAVIOR AGAIN.=/\= The computerized voice of GALEN informed the dog. Frigga looked at the ceiling speaker and barked once and whined. =/\=FRIGGA STOP THAT=/\=

Dira was actually slightly amused, though they might need to add in some additional programming for GALEN to address specific needs in regards to Frigga. “Good girl Frigga,” she whispered, scratching the dog’s head with her good hand.

Realizing she would get no help from the disembodied voice that led her about the ship, Frigga nosed and then licked Dira’s hand again. She gently hopped down and padded into the main bay. Seeing Dr Solal, someone she was very familiar with and worked with she trotted over and barked twice softly and then whined while pawing at his pants leg.

Solal had been going about his usual work. He was tired, it had been a busy day. When he felt pawing at his leg he looked down at Frigga. Doctor Bonner’s sickbay dog. Secretly, it was a joy to see her. Outwardly, he showed no such thing.

Once he looked at her she trotted back to the door where Dira was and barked once. =/\=FRIGGA YOU ARE A BAD DOG. STOP THAT.=/\= If dogs could roll their eyes, Frigga would have. She waited for Solal to follow her.

Frigga

Solal knew that meant ‘follow’. He walked behind the dog towards the door. Entering Dira’s room, he stood by the bed. “Commander Myqian. How are you feeling? Any better?” It was said with little emotion. There were a few things the nurses had found that Solal was hanging onto until they could be turned over to Lieutenant Haven. A used hypo and a PaDD, carefully left untouched and stashed in a drawer in Myquin’s patient room.

Myqian swallowed. “A little,” she said softly, not meeting his gaze. “Less dizzy. But my wrist and shoulder hurt still. I know it will take time to heal fully but the pain is distracting.” It also reminded her she was alive, so it was a mixed blessing.

“As you know, we like to keep some pain there so we know how things are healing. If it becomes uncomfortable, please let someone know.” Even as staff herself, Solal was aware sometimes when it was your own emergency, one needed to be reminded of things like that. He pulled out his medical tricorder and ran another scan to check how the treatments were working. ‘Less dizzy’ was promising. He noticed she wasn’t quite looking at him. Was it an emotional thing, or was she holding something back? He wasn’t sure. “Less dizzy is promising,” he settled on commenting.

The tissues around her dislocated joints and from the laceration were indeed continuing their healing. The chloroform concoction was nearly out of her system and no longer putting any stress on her heart, and the previously prescribed neurosuppressant was also nil- her telepathy was fully functional again.

Myqian flicked her gaze to Solal. “How long until I can be discharged?” she asked quietly. She had so many questions about what was going on outside of this space but at the same time she wasn’t sure she wanted to know. All she knew was that he was still on the ship, even if he was undoubtedly well guarded.
