Eela took the tin and twisted off the lid. Rolling up her short sleeve, she very gently rubbed the ointment over the area which was still more red than dark, but she knew it would look different by the morning. It didn’t hurt all that much though. Massaging the salve in also gave her time to figure out what she wanted to do next. Eela honestly didn’t know. “I would love to be social right now and feel like everything is okay, but I need rest. Kenzo’s visit helped, and so have all of you, but I need this day to be over. I can face things tomorrow better if I’ve actually slept. So, how about we go sedate me now and I can forget for a small bit of time.”

~Eela

“Alright, come on.” She stood and offered her hand to help Eela up.

Eela reached up and let Sharah hold her weight as she pushed herself to her feet, which she was grateful before as he fatigue was making itself known in her limbs.

‘Yavia, luv, in my med kit, would you bring me a hypo with 60cc of Improvoline.’ Sharah received a quick mental affirmative and by the time Eela and Sharah had reached her room, Yavia was there with the requested sedative. Yavia gave Eela a quick hug and then headed back up the stairs.

She didn’t need to change and Eela just slipped into bed, drawing the covers over her chest. She could count on one hand the number of times she had needed actual sedation outside of a medical procedure, but the risk of psychosis from exhaustion while she was dealing with trauma was just too high right now. This was the wise path.

Sharah waited till Eela was settled on the bed. Improvoline, worked quickly and Sharah didn’t want her to fall. “Get some rest. You are safe here. If you need anything, you just need to think my name. I will hear you.” She pressed the hypo to Eela’s neck and there was a soft hiss as the medicine was injected. Sharah left closing the door behind her. She returned the hypo to her kit and headed upstairs.

Sharah

Eela murmured her thanks but she was already drifting off into a dreamless sleep where no monsters could lurk, nothing to interrupt the rest until her body was ready to be awake again.

Tenkiller waited until he heard Sharah, Yavia, and Jal’na in the hall before coming out and saying “So? She asleep? House is secured and douchebag McGillicutty is out of the system.”

Tenkiller

Sharah’s head tipped to the side as if she was listening to something, then, “She’s asleep and will be for awhile. Till the morning at least.”

Jal’na nodded, “I suggest adjusting her dosage for her back a bit. She will be sore. She wrenched her back. The bruise on her arm seems to be the only place he grabbed her. But she wasn’t wearing her brace. From the scans I believe she must have twisted back and it aggravated the muscles and disks. The stress pit strain on her back. Of she needs it, call me I will.come back to help.”

Yavia was quiet, but Sharah could feel it. She was angry and frustrated. “Should have blown the ship up.”

Jal’na growled and it reminded Sharah of a late afternoon storm on Betazed. “That is too quick for him, Yavia.” She turned to Tenkiller, “Do you wish to keep the House Duroc guards? I can have another car sent. We will assist however you need. Even if that is staying out of the way.”

Sharah

Tenkiller shook his head and said “No. On behalf of the CCDA, please extend our thanks to Lord Duroc; and to you, Lady Jal’na.” and then smiled. “And we’d like to have y’all over for dinner sometime, if ya can fit it in. Nothin’ formal… just friends. Gotta congratulate the newlyweds, after all.”

Tenkiller

“Oh not youbtoo with the Lady thing. Please not here anyway.” Jal’na laughed, “Informal with friends to celebrate…so a party. Lord Duroc will make time for that. Your house may not survive.” She grabbed her bag and looked at Yavia, “Do not forget Tuesday at tangqa’ Tavern. We feast. You and your plus 2.” She opened the door, “Herb! We’re leaving.” There was a response of “Yes Lady Jal’na” and she grimmaced, and shut the door behind her.

Jal’na

Charles turned and looked at Sharah and V. “Did you two see Herb? Biggest gods-be-damned Naussican I have ever seen!” and he laughed slightly. He then leaned against the wall and said “So… what now?”
