“Dradvia, would you like to help vash to her room and get her lamp set up and apply the cream?” he said, he had seen her doctor instinks kick in before maybe with her beein slightly more comfortable with vash she could manage. Eli as still very sleepy and wanted to remain in bed.

“Yes, I will.” She stood up, “May I program the salve into your replicator?”

Vash smiled and grinned at Papa. “Of course you can. I can make it to my room. I’m going to change, okay?” Dradvia shook her head. “Let me help, your knee is really messed up. I can program it while you change.” Vash didn’t really need to help to walk, but it was the first time Dradvia had actually touched her. It was sort of like a hug. It also gave Vash a very interesting glimpse of the emotional truth of Dradvia. One that wasn’t shadowed by fear and trauma and drug withdrawl.

Dradvia tiptoed back into Eli’s room and programmed the replicator. When the salve materialized she scanned it with her tricorder to make sure she’d programmed it correctly. Then she tip toed back out and into Vash’s room.

Eli was already asleep when she came back to make the salve, he was breathing lightly and looked vary peaceful. His massive chest rose slowly as the breath escaped his lips.

Dradvia was with Vash for about an hour. They talked a little. Dradvia was still too shy, and Vash was afraid of scaring her away. When Dradvia left, Vash called out. “Dradvia, it’s okay to go back in there to sleep. He won’t mind if you wake him either.”

Dradvia hesitated. Vash smiled, “You can stay here if you like, or I can make you a bed in the living room. But I know Papa would feel better if you were safe in there with him.” Dradvia nodded and stepped out of the room. She stood outside Eli’s door for quite a while not sure what to do. Eventually, she was too tired to stand in the hall longer and she tried to slip quietly back into the room. But then she couldn’t sleep. As soon as she was curled on the couch with her head on her pillow, she was wide awake. She read for awhile longer before sleep suddenly took her.

Eli did not stir when she came in, it had been a long day, and anything short of a small invasion was not likely to wake him. He began to toss and turn though, dreams causing him issues. He wimmpered a few times then began to cry.

The sound woke Dradvia instantly. It confused her, she sat up looking around. She moved without thinking about it. She moved to the bed. She recognized what was happening, and knew that people coming out of nightmares could lash out. She had a feeling Elias would never speak to her again if he did. Dradvia wouldn’t blame him. You couldn’t control what the memories did to you in your sleep.

She sat down on the floor like she had before. Dradvia thought that would be safest incase he struck out. She set a hand firmly on his arm. “Elias. Elias it’s okay.”

His eyes opened slowly, he looked down at Dradvia, the tears still pooring out of his eyes. He had been dreaming about his first wife again, he felt guilty for some reason and shame. He looked away from here. “Im sorry if I woke you” he said his thumb rubing over the top of her hand.

Seeing that he was awake and aware, Dradvia stood up and sat down next to him. She rubbed his arm gently. “It’s okay. I don’t really sleep anyway.” She chewed her lip a little. She wasn’t sure what to do for him. “Do you want to talk about it? Or ummm… would you just like a hug?” Her voice dropped on the last. It was probably presumptuous. Dradvia knew though that when she had one all she really wanted was a hug, but there wasn’t anyone to give her one.

Eli heard the word hug and did not hesitate, he pulled her up into his arms pulling her face first into his chest, hoping she would wrap her arms around him. It was something they had done a lot on the trip back, but for much different reason. Yet it had brought Eli a peace only Vash had been able to chemically give him , it was different though he did not want to let her go, he wanted her by his side always, and it was killing him that she had to go back.

Dradvia’s arms went around him, and she squeezed him tightly. She hummed softly in his ear and swayed a little like she was trying rock him. She shifted so they were both more comfortable and she wasn’t at risk of falling off the edge. Dradvia breathed in deeply, her arms tightening just a little more. “I’ve really missed your hugs.”

Ens. Dradvia, Doctor - Medical Leave

Eli’s ache was eased the moment they made contact. He was hopeless all he could hope now was that she would feel the same. “I have missed them so much,” he said his eyes closing again. “And it is much better now” he said slowly drifting off toward sleep.

Dradvia sat with him while he fell asleep. It felt good to hug him. Soothing to know it soothed him. She didn’t sleep for a long while. She watched him, making sure the dreams didn’t return. Eventually, though, sleep claimed her as well.

Eli woke early his eyes opened softly. He looked around to find Dradvia, he was not sure what they were going to do today, maybe take her for a drive out in the country side.

Dradvia had stayed with him the rest of the night. Sge was asleep curled into his side one arm trapped under his back and the other wrapped around his abdomen. She’d hugged him all night.

The rest of the flat was silent, Vash was still asleep.

Took him a moment to realize she was hugging him. He really did not want to wake her, but he also did not want to lose what little time they had together. “Time to wake up Dove” he said softly giving her a little shake.

Dradvia’s eyes fluttered once and then opened fully. Her brows drew down as her gaze searched his face. Her arm squeezed him in a warmer hug. “Is something wrong? Are you okay?”

Eli smiled into the top of her head, “Everything it perfect” he said, “It’s just time to get up so we can spend sometime, I was thinking about maybe heading out of the city,”

Dradvia smiled quietly at his answer, hoping he really felt it was perfect. The smile turned to a grin of excitement. Elias had mentioned camping last night. She’d forgotten after everything else.

“for a drive, take in the country side?” He asked her

“Not camping?” The disappointed question slipped out before she could stop herself. She sat up quickly looking at her lap. “I mean, I didn’t realize you changed your mind. A drive is fine, perfect. Whatever you want to do. I’m fine… I’m happy with whatever.”

Elias smiled. “Camping it is, ” he said with a smile. “Vash” he called through the appartment.

It was dark in the room, but the flush on Dradvia’s cheeks was obvious anyway. She didn’t say anything because she wasn’t sure what to say. Her eyes lit up with excitement though.

There was a soft quick padding of feet. Vash appeared in the doorway, weapon in hand. Her eyes scanned the room, still filled with sleep. She blinked once at Papa and Dradvia sitting so close together. She hid the weapon quickly. “So… nothing is wrong. Why are you waking me at this unholy hour?” she pouted.

Eli forgot that she had been working nights now, he gave her an appologetic look. “Sorry daughter, but dradvia and I are going to go camping for a few days, and thought you may want to join us. I will secure some cotts and popup habs for the trip”, oed was still to cold at night for tents.

“Camping?” That was certainly something she had never done. Her immediate response was yes, but looking at Papa and Dradvia she wondered if they wouldn’t like some privacy. Vash wouldn’t mind. But it was the anxious uncertainty and semi hopeful attention on her from Dradvia that convinced her.

“I would love to go. If you two don’t mind dragging me along. I won’t be much help. I have no idea how to ‘rough it’.”
