As good as his word, the doctor was careful to avoid the ‘busier’ corridors on their journey to Sickbay. Once they got closer he knew he would have to ask Reira if he thought he’d be able to walk their with David’s support. If Akaba was who Harrington thought he was (and his gut told him he was) then he owed the other man the chance to preserve his dignity if he could. All the questions he wanted to ask were burning inside him, but he knew he had to be careful. To bide his time until the two of them were truly alone before he could ask.
His chance came roughly halfway to Sickbay in the heart of the ship, where no-one dared to venture anymore. Taking a good note of his surroundings just to be sure there was no-one there he lowered Akaba to the ground. “Sorry, I just need to streach my back for a bit. I’m not as strong as I once was.” He apologised, the apology not really a lie. Despite Reira light weight Harrington’s body was beginning to feel a touch of strain, he’d weakened since he’d first arrived on the Viking, the lack of sleep and poor eating habits did mean he tired easily.
Twisting his back this way and that to streach it out, David apprised the other male. “While we rest, do you mind if answering a few questions?” then realising how suspicious that could sound he added quickly, “It’s for personal reasons. I’m trying to find someone and I was told you might know her. Did… do you know of an officer named Briar Harrington?”
