“That I can do,” Eela said, glad to have something to do to focus her mind. Much like the herbal remedies, there was something about puttering in the kitchen that soothed a part of her that yearned for simpler times, simpler moments. She moved the precious book to the den where it would be safe and set out clearing room on the stove now that they were done with all but the one pot. Then she set about toasting bread. She wondered how Sharah was doing, but sensed like the rest of them needed here and there, she needed some time and space.

It was almost an hour later when the door opened and Tenkiller came back into the house. He nodded at Eela and smiled at Yavia before setting the half-empty bottle of whiskey back in the bar and slowly moving down the stairs towards the bedroom.

In the bathroom, he turned on the shower as hot as he could stand it and stood under the rainfall shower head and let the hot and steamy water slowly wash away the current day’s emotions and stress.

Yavia shared his smile, but when he didn’t indicate he wanted her to follow she just watched after him. She stepped out the door to collect his glass still on the steps. She spoke briefly to one of the agents. She collected the dishes and set them at the sink to wash later. There was something soothing about such a domestic task in one’s own home. “Jal’na is here. If you want to eat before PT you had better get started.” Yavia placed two pesto chicken salad pitas on the table along with fruit and potato salad. “I know what to give Jal’na to drink. What would you like?”

In addition to helping with lunch, Eela finished dealing with the last herbal decoction and put everything away. “Um, water might be a good idea, thank you,” she said eying her empty whiskey glass. It had been her third. Eela moved to the table and forced herself to partake of the pita. It was delicious but she honestly wasn’t all that hungry. Still. Her appetite had been nil thus far and she wasn’t pretty sure the nutritional content of whiskey, Draylaxian or other was minimal. The bonus was that if Jal’na asked if she was in pain she could say no very honestly.

Yavia set a glass of ice water on the table and then started to pour herself a glass of juice, changed her mind and grabbed a carbonated soda.

The door opened and Jal’na walked in and paused at her shadow. “Herb. Wait. Out. Side. Go…be useful somewhere else.” A Naussican smiling was not a comforting sight, even if you knew them. Jal’na waited for the door to close and rolled her eyes. She set her bag near the stairs and sat and Yavia’s invitation. She grinned widely. “Pesto Chicken! Excellent. Thank you. How ate you today, Eela?”
