“Wait… “Thinking differently”? What do you mean?” He pulled back, but only a little. Those toxic green eyes were bright with instant worry, his dark brows furrowing. “Vivian…. What is it? What’s wrong? You’re worrying me…” To think something might of happened while he was gone… A knot was forming in his stomach, his throat feeling tight as he spoke.

She smiled kind of sadly. “I had a bad panic attack a few days ago. A…really bad one. I had some thoughts I regret, I did some things I regret. And I’m gonna tell you because I love you.” She pulled up her sleeve to reveal a few small, pale, fading cuts. “This is all there is, I promise. I’m okay now.”

An immediate rush of panic went through him, the urge to protect her overwhelming him. Horror followed suit quite quickly. He hadn’t been able to protect her. To comfort her. He hadn’t been there for her.

“Vivian…” He tried to speak, failing miserably. “Viv… I…” He fell silent, abruptly turning her around so he could pull her flush against him, his arms wrapped tightly around the small of her back.

She melted into his arms, feeling so, so safe in his embrace. "I'm sorry. I'm okay now. I promise. It wasn't that bad." She nuzzled his chest. "I'm sorry."

Eridanus tied Pestilence up to a barren sycamore tree, the young stallion whinnying at him. Eridanus smiled softly and gave him a bit of sugar from his pocket before releasing him to graze at the sparse bits of green he could find around the trees. He headed inside, shutting the door softly.

“Vivian…?”

She jumped, startled by the suddenness of his voice. She hid her arm in her sleeve. “R-right here.”

She knew she should tell him what she had done. After all, she loved him, and didn’t want to keep secrets from him. But with all that was going on, she couldn’t worry him.

He frowned at her jumpiness, looking her up and down with his head tilted to the side. “Viv… Are you alright? You seem…” He searched for the right words. “You seem on edge. Is everything okay?” Pale bruised hands reached out to her, pulling her closer by her shoulders. Her closeness, as simple as this was, was nearly addicting to him after the many long decades of staying away from his fellow angels in fear of killing them.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his face in the crook of her neck. “I’ve missed you… If there’s something wrong..”

She bit her lip, letting him envelop her. "There's so many things wrong, Eri…this time when you left, things changed. Things are different with me…I'm thinking differently."

“It is not by my choice.” He answered softly. “Lucifer is unpredictable… And so too then, must the brothers Athas be.” He took her hands in his, chilled by the cold air, those unnatural green eyes glittering at her. “You know once this is all over… I will never ever again leave you.”

She smiled, wrapping her arms around his torso and holding him tightly. “So you’ve said. I just hope it ends soon. I hate being away from you. I hate you being in danger.”

“Lucifer isn’t that dangerous.” Eridanus teased light-heartedly, pulling her nearer to him. “He’s an overgrown teenager who’s throwing a fit because he isn’t getting his way.” Being younger than Lucifer he was one to talk, but he didn’t wish to worry her about anything. Now was not the time for that. 

“I’ll get Pestilence tied up. Go ahead and head inside, alright? I’ll be right there.”

She nodded. "Okay." She pressed the lightest and quickest of kisses to his cheek before turning and heading inside. So many thoughts were running through her head. It seemed like every time she let him out of her sight, he left again.

“It is not by my choice.” He answered softly. “Lucifer is unpredictable… And so too then, must the brothers Athas be.” He took her hands in his, chilled by the cold air, those unnatural green eyes glittering at her. “You know once this is all over… I will never ever again leave you.”

She smiled, wrapping her arms around his torso and holding him tightly. "So you've said. I just hope it ends soon. I hate being away from you. I hate you being in danger."

Eridanus stepped gently through the underbrush of the field, Pestilence’s reins cold in his chilled fingers. White puffs escaped his bruised lips, but it was still a good day for him. He didn’t have to wear his bandages, his wounds kept relatively under control. Pestilence seemed to dance in place as he reached the road, coming to the warm little place he knew someone would be waiting.

At the sight of the pale figure coming closer, Vivian’s eyes began to sparkle, her mouth pulling up into a wide smile. “You should go bandage free more often. Sometimes I forget how gorgeous you are.” She snickered. “Actually, maybe not. Other girls might get ideas.”

The young white stallion whinnied and danced about with his excitement, his wounds faring just as well as his master’s. Eridanus laughed and calmed the beast, slipping down from the saddle. He gave Pestilence a few loving pats before turning to her, his cheeks coloring some. “I hardly doubt that… You say that as if it’s so matter of fact but you’re the only one who seems to think so…”

She grinned. "So you tell me. But still." She tugged her sleeve down nervously. "I missed you. You went away again."

“I’m thirty years old Miss Walsh, but in terms of terran ageing I suppose I am as young as Mister Chekov.” She looked to the side thoughtfully before looking back at Caroline. “But I would have to say it is not so… The two of us simply joined young.” The sounds od busy medical equipment caught her attention, her honeyed eyes sliding to rhe side as a hum left her.

"Oh." She tended to forget the whole aging thing with Vulcans. "Well, you know what they say. Big things in small packages."

T'Piri was still relatively new to the Enterprise, and there was always new things to find. She of course, had saved the best for last. The Medbay held a great deal of her attention, and no small part of her admiration. Though she was small for her age she walked with her chin up, head held high as she ghosted in by the doors of the Medbay, watching the daily preperations.

Golden brown eyes watched on in fascination, pale fingers unconciously tucking a single loose strand of auburn hair behind her ear.

Caroline was observant, a doctor has to be. So it was no surprise that she quickly noticed the young Vulcan wandering the Bay. A young Vulcan that she had only seen a few times. Her gold dress made her stand out among the crowds of blue, so she was impossible to miss.

“Excuse me,” she called out to the Vulcan. “I make it a point to know everyone, and I don’t know you. I’m Caroline Walsh. What’s your name?”

The girl seemed to startle as Caroline called out to her, but it was replaced a second later with cool indifference typical of her kind. “Ensign T'Piri Asil, I work at the helm as Navigator on Gamma Shift.” She nodded respectfully to the doctor. “I’m sorry if i interrupted your work.” She was a small thin, thin too. Black stockings hid her pale thighs from view, a lone necklace dangled about her neck. She seemed terribly young, like another certain Navigator, but one could see the brilliant mind working behind those honeyed eyes.

Caroline smiled. "Not at all. The Bay gets pretty boring most of the time. Are all navigators this young?" Caroline's eyes were bright. Ensign Chekov was one of her favorite people on board. He never failed to make her smile.

Literally can’t believe that Anton has died… I loved him as Chekov in the Star Trek movies. So young. Rest in Peace Anton! 😢(via GIPHY)
