They played with Simon till he was tired. The next day, Sisnil was back in engineering.

Things continued normally. No one really bothered Sisnil. At least not physically. Stevens was back in engineering, and every time he passed, glanced, heard of Sisnil his thoughts were riled and his temper sparking.

Sisnil ignored him. It wasn’t hard. When he was done in engineering, he went to the holodeck to train. He picked an easier program to start, but even so, well.... Maybe Dee wouldn’t notice how many new bruises he had. At least he hadn’t broken or sprained anything.

Dradvia’s day was pretty straight forward. The crew was small and not much was going on. She had a couple of marine’s come in with what they claimed was strained muscles, but were full blown strains and torn muscle from combat training. She mostly liked them. They were tough and intimidating but polite. Except one of them kind of gave her the creeps. She kept that to herself though.

She left sickbay at the end of her shift and made her way towards the mess before going back to her quarters. She passed an engineer and smiled politely. “Off to see your criminal boyfriend? Aren’t you ashamed. What could he see in you anyway?” Dradvia paused, shocked and turned to look at the woman. She thought it was the officer who had been making eyes at Sisnil while he was sick. Dradvia wasn’t sure though as the officer had hurried away down the corridor and out of sight.

She glanced around, feeling like she was being watched again. She decided to forgo the mess and went back to her quarters. She stopped to see if Sisnil was there, but when he didn’t answer, she went through her own door and locked it.

Sisnil came up a while later and knocked on her door. “Dee? You okay? You’re stressed again.” His voice came through the door.

~ Zoi

Sisnil felt more than heard the muffled scream that his knock evoked. Who was at her door? No one came to her door, what did they want? Why did the officer say that?

Then she heard Sisnil’s voice. She crept, toward the door and asked the computer to verify who was there. Then she unlocked the door and then hurried back across the room.

Sisnil entered the room, hurried to her side, and hugged her. “What’s wrong, Dee? Something happened?” He asked, able to pull that much from her thoughts.

~ Zoi

She almost burrowed into him. Dradvia didn’t want to tell him what happened. That was illogical really, but the idea of telling him what that woman said made her feel uneasy, sick, and worried. It also made her mad the way the woman had judged him, but had wanted him too. But mostly it was the digs and the hatred that even Dradvia could feel, that upset her the most. Of course Sisnil was a telepath so the fact she was thinking about it, just made it easier for him to read her thoughts.

Sisnil hugged her tightly, internally sighing. “I’m sorry, Dee. I can have a talk - and I mean a talk, I promise, with her tomorrow. People can hate me all they want, they shouldn’t be taking it out on you.”

~ Zoi

“No.” It was soft but adamant. Dradvia wanted to just keep quiet and not cause problems. There was no reason to do anything. That would just draw more attention.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Okay,” Sisnil said. “Will you tell me if anything else happens?”

~ Zoi

Dradvia didn’t want to tell him. Then he would do something, but he would know anyway. “Yes.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Good.” Sisnil said softly. “I love you, Dee.”

~ Zoi

“I love you, too.” Dradvia sighed. “I think I just want to go to bed.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Okay,” Sisnil said again. “Do you want me to stay? Otherwise I might go train a little more.”

~ Zoi

She did, but there was always that reluctance, that unease. “No, it’s okay. Go have fun.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“I’ll stay,” Sisnil said, settling in next to her. “It’s okay. There’s always tomorrow.”

~ Zoi

Her heart raced with tension and an edge of panic. She couldn’t sleep with anyone in her quarters. Yes she wanted him to stay and the fact he was made her feel better, but… but…

“I don’t have to sleep here if you don’t want me to, Dee. I can just stay till you’re tired.” Sisnil said, reading her thoughts.
