Yes, they are. I guess I just realized how much I miss them some days. She let him kiss her and for a moment simply savoured the warmth of her husband’s lips on her skin. But the dream had woken her up so fully that she was unlikely to be able to sleep again right away. Still, it was cozy in his arms so she didn’t feel it necessary to get up.

So… are we going to talk about that last mission? Yes, it was time to venture there. They really hadn’t had a chance to discuss anything as it had been insanity for both of them with their sudden return to base. Now was as good a time as any.

FL. Captain Koraia, CO

By all means, what… do you want to go first love? he asked her, it wasn’t top on his list. That said, it was something they needed to go over, and time would not do them justice.

Vander, CoS

Turning in his arms to face him properly, she propped up her elbow to hold her head in her hand to speak aloud more easily. “I think I know the answer, because I want to assume that somehow I would know, but… you’re…” She paused, frowning at the words that wanted to come out of her mouth. “You’re the Konral that was on the planet, just as I am the Ghubari who led the away team through the Guardian and had to leave all of you there. Am I right?” She did;t know what answer she expected, or even wanted, or how she would feel if the answer was not any of those.

FL. Captain Koraia, CO

“Yes, I wasn’t sure… I admit at first. I just… I couldn’t give up my past. I wanted to forget, each battle each fight… but it was for much more than just that. I learn more, and you are always what I want to end up protecting you.”

Vander, CoS

Reaching out, she rested the back of her free hand against his cheek. It was my other self who made the point that I’d want to have experienced what the others had so that I could help them through the aftermath if needed. But it was hard being away in space and time from you. I felt disconnected, even though there was another you on the ship. I don’t know how I knew but I think a deep part of me knew it wasn’t you. I’m glad we’re here together now.

Sighing slightly, her hand slid to rest on his side. I miss Nico though. It’s so strange not to have him around. I keep waiting for him to pop out and surprise me.

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

I do too… which is odd cause he never missed me… Konral said as he lowered his head. I love you, always. he said as he took a deep breath, he felt the need to say that now more than ever.

Vander, CoS

She smiled deeply at him, her pale amber eyes lit up. For a moment she just basked in the mutual adoration between them and let herself recognize and embrace a moment of contentedness. How many of those could she really ever say she had experienced? Not nearly enough.

But there were things she wanted to ask and that Ghubari felt were important to ask and be acknowledged. “What was it like down there, for you?”

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

“It… well it was hard. It was never ending it felt, fight after fight blood after blood. It’s not that I haven’t been in fights but… it felt more like a battle than some normal skirmish we often have to do. I saw so many perish both sides… I know when I decided to become a Security and switch from Engineering there might be times but in all my years nothing had felt so hunkered. I didn’t fight in the Dominion war, though I imagine it was a lot like that.”

Vander, CoS
