Eli stepped into his quarters after getting vash setlled he had hardly slept in two days. The long hours at the table had certianly taken it’s toll on his body, he was stiff and slow and needed to losen his muscles up. A shower might do him some good, he kicked on a little music, something soft and relaxing.

Moving to the sonic shower he removed his cloths and stepped in, how he missed water there was something soothing about having warm water rushing over the skin. He closed his eyes leaning agains the wall. He thought of Vash and how she could have been killed, the scenario playing out in his mind, maybe he had payed the woman to much attention. ‘I should have been there’ he thought ’ I should have been faster’. He new that she could take care of her self and it was that thought that almost got her killed. Continuing to beat himself up his thoughts quickly driffed to his sister now, images of the cardasian’s beating her and tearing her up with their wands of pain. Then they took her away, when he had heard news that she died it crippled him. “I can’t” he wispered to himself.

Maybe it was the lack of sleep or the preasure of the last two days or the thoughts of his sister, or some combination there of, but Eli’s body shuttered, his large body colapsing to the floor, tears and sobs echoing in the sonic chamber. He sat up pulling his knees up to his chest and sat crying something he almost never did. Snot and tear mixed as he lost control of his emotions. His mind was filled with pain and loss, a sense of lonleyness washing over him that he had not experienced since he left the Maquie.

As the timer on the sonic shower expired he layed there in a pool of tears quietly sobing.
