Eli took her hand and opened it softly, “Non of that now” he said. “You can survive all this” he said cleaning up the wounds she had made.

Her body went tense as he grabbed her hand. She understood he was only hearing her, but her eyes darted around wildly. Lokhar would be very unhappy if he saw another man holding her hand. It didn’t matter why. She tried to pull away, but her body only twitched feebily.

“That’s the point I’m making, its why I keep these” he said taking her now bandaged had he turned about put her hand on his scares just under the shoulder of his shirt. “These remind me where I’ve come through, the hell i had to endure to get to this day. If I had succeed back when Vash and crew found me, I would not have met my daughter. ” he said. “Your scare may be on the inside, and that’s ok, use them, and then don’t look back..” he said holding her hand there letting her feel the layers of callused skin. “My entire back is like this, waist to shoulders.”

Under normal circumstances, Dradvia would gave offered to heal them. Under normal circumstances she wouldn’t be a doctor. She would be on Risa making jewelry. Her life wasn’t normal though. She tried to pull her hand away from his grip, buy she couldn’t. When he slid her bandaged palm over the skin of his scars, the dam broke. “NO! NO! PLEASE DON’T!” Dradvia jerked hard enough to wrench her body off the biobed and crumple onto the floor. Her body weak and battered. She curled herself tight against the underside of the biobed shaking.

Wild eyes darted around. He would come, he would and she would be in trouble for that. Her labored panicked breathing filled the space.

“There you are” he said softly but firm so the tone would catch.”No one is going to hurt you while old Eli is around , your safe with us. ” he said knowing she would not believe it, “Your master released you to us, charged us to take you home” he said and looked at vash, maybe now that she was awake vash could help

She tried to push her self further away, under the table. Her eyes were wild, her body hurt so badly. She didn’t want to be aware. Her knuckles turned white, but the bandages protected her palm.

Vash stood up and slowly walked over. She knelt down. “Dradvia?” She reached with her empathy.

Dradvia’s eyes snapped to Vashkilu. Orion! She curled into a ball, her forehead touching the floor. “Mistress! Please please I didn’t touch him. He made me! Please!”

Eli let vashe deal with that, he , in the meantime prepared a painkiller that would help dull the damage that had been done to her. It would not remove the pain but it would dull it.

The absolute terror of her knocked Vash back on her heels. Dradvia was terrified of her, not just scared or wary. The primal terror was strong enough to see in the room. She back up a few steps and then sank down into the same position that Dradvia was in. She waited patiently until she felt the small ripple of shock. “I’m a slave just as you were, Dradvia. You do not bow to me.” She reached carefully over and slid a PaDD to her. “See. Mistress Valeria and Master Lokhar freed you. You only belong to yourself now.”

Dradvia knew that the Orions served their masters too, but they were still above the rest of them. She glanced at the PaDD. She didn’t believe it. Master said he needed her. She shook her head, “No, no he wouldn’t give me up. Please. Please, mis… please First.” She wasn’t above this woman. She was beneath her, she would always be beneath her.

Vash sighed. It was too soon. “I won’t report it. Eli has been hired to care for your medical needs. He won’t do anything he shouldn’t. I promise. We’re going to get you somewhere that can give you the best treatment. Will you let him help you? Please?”

Dradvia glanced up, but didn’t look right at Vash. She didn’t move other than that for several long minutes. “I know you are hurting,” Vash continued. “You’re a doctor aren’t you? Lokhar praised how skilled you are.” It was a risk mentioning him, but she hoped that would help Dradvia would relax a bit.

“Yes, First, I am.”

“Good, then Eli will tell you everything he is doing. He’ll show you too. Please let him help you, Dradvia.” She tried to reach out and touch her hand, but Dradvia pulled away. She couldn’t help her with her empathy if she couldn’t touch the girl. She sighed.

“Okay,” Dradvia nodded, but she stayed curled up on the floor, blocked in on two sides for protection.

Eli looked down at his hands. “I did not me to scare your, I’m like you in more ways that I care to admit. This is a form of sedative called Diphenylmethane, It’s only a half does to help you relax a little, ” he said softly, his voice deep and welcoming. “I won’t hurt you Dradvia” he said softly

She stared at the hypo. Her eyes wide and locked on it. Eli could see her breathing turn more rapid, her pulse hammered in her throat. She hated being drugged. She couldn’t protect herself. No… no they helped. Master had shown her. And this was a low dosage.

She licked her lips as she watched him come closer with it. She was SO thirsty. She just wanted Ale. Maybe Master sent some.

Her eyes focused on the hypo as Eli got closer. She held very very still while he gave it to her.

Eli looked her in the eyes. “Your going to be ok” he said as he gave her the shot. He hated what she had been through. “Is there anything I can do for you?” he asked her softly wanting to find something to bring her some comfort.

Her instinct was to look away. To not meet his gaze, but she couldn’t seem to help it. His eyes were warm and deep. They were kind.

Her eyes darted to the Orion woman. She’d moved back to the pilot’s seat. She licked her lips again. “I’m thirsty.” Her voice was barely a whisper and it was desperate.

Eli smiled and retrieved some water, handing it to her, “Here ” he said, “do not drink to fast, small sips, but i suppose you know that, what kind of doctor are you?”

Dradvia took the water, careful not to let their fingers touch accidentally. She sipped it, but she wanted to guzzle it. She was so thirsty! The water hit her mouth and there was relief because she expected their to be some. But then it was gone. Her thirst building. She sipped again and again trying to ease the horrible ache.

“G g general and immediate care,” she answered quietly. She sipped the water again. Just a little relief from the thirst? Was she that dehydrated? She took a bigger sip but it didn’t help.

She turned the whole cup up and guzzled it down. It spilled over her lips, splashed into her nose, made her cough as she almost breathed it in. And then the empty liquid hit her stomach that had been too long without anything in it. Her stomach cramped painfully. The corner of her eyes tightened but she didn’t protest.

“Hmm, what kind of drugs did they have you one” he asked her out, he knew the look, her eyes and behavior told him what he would confirm with a blood test if she did not tell him. “You are going through withdawl”

Vash’s ears perked up. Poor thing. All that and drugged too. She shook her head silently as she monitored the shuttle.

Dradvia drew back. She knew she had been drugged. It was Lokhar’s way. “I… I don’t know. Master called it ‘The Kiss.’ We would smoke it together.” The water cup was empty, but water didn’t help her thirst. “I’m so thirsty,” it came out as a whine. “Please,” her blue eyes stared up at him, “didn’t Master leave some Ale for me?” She hated the pleading weak sound of her voice, but she needed it.

Eli’s face stayed soft he knew the answer before she said it, what a cruel man, he thought to himself. “What kind of Ale,” he asked. The kiss was likely Oxathrene-9, it was orignally used as a pairbonding aid for species that required chemical bonding for mating, but had issues for of one or another. The Syndicate got a hold of it modified it and turned it into a recreational drug. If he had giving her Romulan ale which was highly addictive to most humaniods, and kiss, she was going to go through some really bad withdrawl. No only that but she was chemically bonded to Lohkar, and it would take a lot of hormone theropy to undo. At her mention of hte kiss he looked at vash for a brief moment

Vash met his eyes, the horror in them clear. Vash knew what Kiss was, but she’d stayed strictly away from it. Orion’s were immune from the bonding effect, but she was half Orion. She knew some non-Orions who used it, and if they had ever been separated it from their mate. Well it was really bad.

Dradvia chewed her lip. “It, it was blue and in a clear bottle that looked like an hour glass. Please, Master must have left some for me.”
