It was three nights after their previous night time meeting. Sisnil still wasn’t sleeping at night. He paced his quarters, read, watched media, paced the halls, explored the ship.

David had said he could talk to him if he couldn’t sleep. But he didn’t really want to talk to him. But he was bored out of his mind. He could bother the Commander for fun, couldn’t he? Yeah, that was a good idea. “Computer, contact Commander Morris.”

The computer chirped, and a moment later, David answered. “Yes?” He sounded exhausted and somewhat asleep, but alert enough that he was functional.

“Sisnil. You said I could call if I wasn’t sleeping.” Sisnil said into the comm. “Wanna meet in my room?”

“I’ll be there in two,” David said, and the channel cut. A minute and a half later, the chime to Sisnil’s quarters chirped, David evidently being quite fast at dressing and navigating the ship.

Sisnil opened the door and let him in. The door slid shut behind the Commander. He was dressed, in the same thing he’d worn that day. He looked really tired. “You showed up.”

~ Zoi

“I did.” David was wearing mostly his dark blue and grey pajamas, on top of which he’d thrown on his uniform top and a combadge. “I take it you haven’t slept?”

Sisnil shook his head. “Sounds like I woke you.” He commented, sitting in a chair in the quarters’ living space. He was ‘listening’ mentally, to David as much as physically, for his emotions, thoughts. Not maliciously, looking for anything, but out of habit, as if searching for connection.

“Not that I was sleeping particularly heavily,” David brushed it aside. A good deal of his thoughts were muddled together, drowsy and overlapping, but he was being sincere in not being bothered. “So what’s up?”

Sisnil shrugged. “I’ve slept collectively three or four hours in three nights, guess I got bored of sitting around alone.”
