((Takes place the night after Toveka talks to Tenkiller’s brother’s ghost about her own father… https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf3/outpost42/posts/94441/ (last post) ))

Toveka was awake a couple hours before Tenkiller was due to arrive for breakfast. She had been up and down all night thinking of what his brother had said. Her father wasn’t in the place of the dead. It made no sense to her, since the entire planet had blown up. She was confident enough to bet her life that no one on the planet had survived. The question then became, where had her father been when Romulus has been destroyed.

When he arrived, she would be in her uniform, except for her boots as usual. She was curled up in her chair, PaDD in hand, looking disheveled, for her, and walking a tight rope of anxiety. Two things she was certainly not known for, or used to.
