There is almost a feeling of GUILT that washes over her chest, but also a one of softness. A smile paints her graceful features at their words, a little humorous. It was inevitable they rested after all the exhaustion they have faced, a one she has witnessed herself. ❝ They have. None were displeased. ❞ She reassures, never being one to lie to them with trivial matters as this one. ❝ Are you alright, my lord? ❞ There is a subtle concern in her tone, staying beside them as they stand, arm ready to interfere should they lose balance.

( starlight shines through the window and casts its silvery glow ) ➥ the serenity of the outside contrasts what's going on within the room. nyota's hands are planted firmly upon her hips , stern gaze trained on her daughter. she's trying to remain calm, trying to remember that when she was mandy's age, she was certainly up to much worse. " you wanna run that by me one more time ? what was goin' through your head, baby ?"

@wcrpspeed , call.

⎯⎯⎯⎯ @wcrpspeed , CONTINUED FROM HERE !

legs crossed on the chair, liam finds the space quite easy to be relaxed in. the summers home in their adolescent years were hot and sticky, humidity making the conditions brutal. the space, a little too warm, with incense in the air, feels simply like a morning day. their fingers make work braiding the ends of their hair, hands growing otherwise restless, and their mind too aware of the way it feels against their skin and falls blocking their vision.

“for the most part. i think for a lot of people miracles are proof of the divine, and like for your people, the will of the divine.” liam’s not quite sure where they sit on the subject of the divine. they leave it there. “i think miracles are the improbable and the extraordinary things in life. sometimes we can explain it, it’s just that the odds were so fucking low, and the circumstances asking for sacrifices too fucking great that we just didn’t see the outcome as possible, or we didn’t see it at all.”

smile on their lips, “most of the miracles i’ve found are people, if that makes any sense at all.”

She is trying to be mindful of when boundaries were overstepped or social cues missed, or anything when it came to humans. They, in particular, were the easiest to step on their toes without intending. ❝ It's organized-ish. ❞ The tryakhean offers, the ish tacked on as something she's heard said before.

It was to what she's gotten used to tidying everything up; this had been a conscious effort on her part. Grace and T'lann had liked the workspace shared to be organized in specific ways. Early on in the Academy that had been point of contention between the three of them, as Jaylah was the messiest of the two and finding the right amount of organized and ordered in the right way to satisfy everyone.

❝ You were already falling asleep when you wrote that one. ❞ And it had stumped her a large portion of Scotty's nap until she painstakingly read every line over again and cross reference. At the mention if she's taken a break, Jaylah knows the answer is no. ❝ Was this not our break? ❞ OUR as if she didn't work right that, evident by the clean up and reviewing the code lines.

❝ acch yer a'right quine , ❞ scotty said as jaylah apologized . it really wasn't a big deal , && he had to admit that the place looked a lot better than it had done . in truth , he hadn't meant to nod off , it had just been a long shift && he wasn't as young && spritely as the captain or the first officer . or jaylah . ❝ it looks gud . nice an' uhhh . aye . ❞ he gave a nod before taking a sip of his tea .

moving towards his desk , placing hiss tea down beside his computer . as she then noted that he missed a few numbers , he glanced up to read the code that she had indicated . eyes narrowing for a second he readjusted his gaze . ❝ och aye . look at that . ❞ he noted . ❝ i dinna' ken HOW ye spotted 'at . but gud work . ❞ he scratched his cheek . ❝ && fit did i dae wi' out yeh ? ❞ he mused before lifting a smile towards her . ❝ have you h'd a break yet , lassie ? importan' ye take 'em when ye can . ❞

there is an immediate shift in the others mere presence that does not go unnoticed by lady . all in all , she knows that she is an abnormality . not human , not crystal . not nothing . she had no forebearers, no precedence for this happening anywhere && anytime before . an ANOMALY . never seen before . never heard of before . it would only make sense that the deity would want to prod . lady could not question it . && part of her , the part of jay williams that was still within her very blood , begged her not to . ❝ i retain her because she gave me the gift to walk amongst my friends , ❞ lady said quietly , her fingers searching , finding the still heart that was left between unmoving ribs .

❝ TRAGIC ? ❞ lady queries . ❝ you do not find the bond between you && your sister a gift ? ❞

Maybe it is the lightness of the way she carries herself, the need to be stealthy that it has become more of a habit, a part of the way she now paces amongst crowds and empty spaces alike. She does not mean to startle them, the guilt of doing so apparent on her features. Her eyes dart to the ground immediately, not allowing herself any further glimpse of their suffering face, the skin evident of their battle against a sickness she wishes to take off them and onto herself for they are needed, she is not, never will be. ❝ Forgive me, my lord! ❞ She pleads for forgiveness, ducking her head, body crouching gracefully yet swiftly to capture the object of their desire, the mask in her hand a little cold now, a couple of wet spots from their escaping tears are ran against by her delicate fingers. It eats at her chest, but she says nothing in the regard; it is not her place to begin with. ❝ Here. ❞ Both hands are brought together to offer the mask politely, chin against chest as arms stretch to bring it closer to them. ❝ They will be arriving here shortly. ❞

exhaustion doesn't wane from him , but it is now mixed with this pain && anger at himself . it wasn't particularly king like for him to fall into sleep during a moment of discussion . there was DISAPPOINTMENT in his chest && he wondered if some of those in his court who doubted his rule , felt now they had more to support their claims . solanis felt his jaw tighten , but quickly relaxed it , as doing so felt like it would shatter what teeth he had left .

grateful for the ASSISTANCE , solanis walked silently with them back to his chambers . slowly , though . still feeling drained from all energy . once in his chambers , solanis watched as she left to fulfil his orders . opit && aspher would come shortly , he knew as much , so long as they were called for that was the main thing . she left , B peeling the golden mask from his face , a rush of cool air hitting the welts on his skin . he took a deep inhale , then felt a swelling of emotion in his chest , in his heart .

it didn't take him too much by surprise , but the way his eyes filled with tears , did . solanis tried his best , but before he knew it , water was POOLING down his cheeks . head lifted as she came back , solanis scrambled , reaching for his mask but knocking it down onto the stone ground below .

" oh, baby... " she murmurs as she tenderly brushes her hand over her temple, carding her fingers through mandy's hair. she cares for steven the same way that her parents cared for his. one could even say that this situation was inevitable. nyota well knows that if the tables had been turned, jim and carol's son would have thrown punches as well.

" fine, i won't. but you know, he may find out anyways. i think he'll be more understanding than you might think. " of course, she may still hear a small lecture on reining in her emotions, but she has faith that spock will show more empathy to the situation than anticipated. " him and your uncle jim have no secrets between them, and i don't like keeping any either. but, i'll hold back because you asked me. " call it a secret between a daughter and her mother.

" now, tell me where it hurts the most and we'll get started there. "

❝ it wasn't like they were just making fun of some stupid thing , ❞ mandy said , deflated . ❝ they were making fun of STEVEN . calling him a nepo baby or something like that . how he only got his place in starfleet because of uncle jim . && that's not true . ❞ she shuffled slightly . ❝ okay maybe it's PARTLY TRUE , but mom , you should have heard what they were saying . you would have gotten upset too . ❞

this was a loosing battle . mandy knew this . she had overreacted , && she had lashed out . && even though her mom was trying to understand , chances were that she had DISAPPOINTED them both in her emotional reaction . as mom sat beside her , taking her hand in her own , mandy felt tears spring to her eyes . the soft comfort of her mother soothing the anger that flowed through her veins . && knowing that at the end of the day , mom did understand && did forgive her .

❝ i'm SORRY mom . ❞ she said quietly . ❝ i dunno how you guys do this walking away thing . ❞ she wiped a tear away with her uninjured hand . ❝ it's not like i wanna make a habit of this , trust me . don't tell dad . ❞
