On the Chernov, after the Klingon mission
With thanks from T’Aria and Symar – two excellent Vulcan physicians and mentors for Kastarak – Kastarak had managed to ride through the worst with his pon farr. It had been an emotionally fraught experience, but he found relief in that he had not made untoward advances to other people in the crew, even when he had experienced the urges of them. Sexuality was a topic that was still difficult for Kastarak to speak of – but only when it came to himself. He had still not met Umbri since the events in their quarters, leading to his diagnosis of pon farr, and he was not sure how to approach it. They had not met one another for a long time, and once this happened he was not sure they would wish to see him again.
He had ridden through the worst of the pon farr storm, but regulating himself again was difficult. It was similar from about a year ago, when he had suffered a Romulan influenza together with T’Aria, and it had taken him weeks to get back his normal self. It was the same now, probably.
This led to several sleepless nights. Vulcans could go several nights without sleep, it was said, but even so, it was not healthy. And right now, he was dysregulated, and all he wanted was sleep.
This night was no different. But this time, he left his quarters and went to the mess hall, and decided to look out at the passing stars outside, and drink some tea. Some change of scenery might help.
Perhaps someone would come and sit next to him. He would have wanted to have a friend now.
