“I love you, Dee,” he said. His eyes closed, but he wasn’t really sleeping. He was letting the regenerator do its job. Or at least, that was the plan. But his body was so overworked, he fell asleep that way.

Dradvia sat right beside him until the regenerator was done. She put her equipment away and closed the case quietly. She rubbed Simon’s ears. “Take care of him.” She pulled the blanket up and then sat down in the chair. She pulled her knees up and wrapped her arms around them. She stared at the door, keeping watch so he would know he was safe enough to sleep.

Sisnil slept until late the next morning. When he woke, his body was sore and painful. He sat up, leaning against the headboard. “Hey, Dee.”

Dradvia wasn’t there though. The chair was turned toward him very close to the bed with a PaDD facing him, blinking with a message.

Hey Sisnil,

I was called to Sickbay. When you didn’t wake up for the comms, I knew you needed the sleep, so I didn’t wake you. I fed Simon before I left and locked the door. I will bring you breakfast. If you need me before, just comm.

I love you.

Sisnil got the PaDD to read the message to him. He turned the PaDD off and set it down. Then he got up slowly and used the support frame to get into the bathroom.

Sisnil could feel the guilt swirling around Dradvia. She hated leaving knowing how he felt about being alone, but she had orders. She hoped he wasn’t angry with her. Then again, if he was, she deserved it after causing him to get hurt the night before.

She returned with a tray with his usual breakfast. She was about to press the chime (and hope she didn’t wake him) when the door opened so he could make his way to the bathroom. “Oh…” she stepped back out of the way.
