Smiling from ear to ear, Nami has to make herself pause, exhale – trying to settle some of her sheer giddiness. She’s overflowing with questions for Seri, but this doesn’t feel like the time – knowing what kind of deep wounds might be reopened by them. She tries to remind herself about the need...

“Of course! Yes, I mean – absolutely.” Nami’s words trip her up as she feels a flood of emotions welling up in her yet again. Sudden anxiety and, yes, guilt again, mixed with relief and excitement; but it’s a friend close by that brings a steadying warm glow deep inside. “We’ll have to get some...

“That’s a good question.” Nami pauses thoughtfully. “We’re about twenty, or twenty-one, in all. Kaelaen told me that…there aren’t a lot of places to sleep on this ship. Not made for comfort, I guess.” She hesitates again, not wanting to mention the cells. “But there’s – there’s some room on my...

A crew. The words send a thrill through Nami, something between excitement and panic. The sense of responsibility she already carries is almost unbearable – but so is the thought of losing this newfound sense of companionship, of safety. Fortunately, Seri is there to break the spell; Nami laughs...

Nami nods eagerly. “Sounds like a plan. We’ve both got to follow doctor’s orders about nutrition. Of course we should make sure we stay in touch with Jura too – she’s flown the ship this far, she’ll know if anything’s been giving trouble.”

Nami stifles a giggle of her own, partly just her simple joy at hearing Seri laugh. “Let’s say – we might have to get our hands dirty.” She looks down at their clasped hands as she says it, feeling the warm comfort of that soft pink touch. “Hopefully there won’t be too much that needs fixing. I...

“Oh, I’m really not…” Nami mumbles self-deprecation even as Seri’s words of praise and the rush of pheromones send tingles of reward through her. Still she is unable to shake her feelings of guilt, the sense that she doesn’t deserve this – but she certainly doesn’t want any of it to stop. Her...

“Seri…” Nami leans over to put a comforting arm around her new friend’s shoulders – unsure if this is right but unable to resist a moment longer. “You’re doing great. You really are.” A warm smile appears on her face as she looks over the clothes Seri found. “Thank you for all this. For...

“Datapads?” Nami happily sits herself down next to Seri. “What’s on these?” She pauses, slightly bewildered, as she recognises the medical files. “Oh, you found – I see.” Though not quite sure what to think, she has a feeling that Seri was only trying to help; her heart goes out to her once...

“Oh! Thank you…” Nami stares at the bar in her hand for a moment. She’d expected not to have much appetite, but the sight of food makes her realise how badly she too needed this. “Thank you,” she says again, earnestly, smiling at Seri, before taking a bite – trying not to appear as suddenly...

Nami nods. “We will, I’m sure – but please, don’t worry about all that just yet. You just woke up. Were you able to find something to eat? I’m sorry there wasn’t much to work with over there…”

@majus @Elfie Nami almost wants to ask what kind of dancing Seri has done before the obvious answer hits like a runaway bantha. It just seems so right that someone so full of life should be a dancer – but Nami can also relate to that shame, memories of performing for Thassco, her image sent...

@majus @Elfie Particularly after…earlier, those glances and gazes make Nami shiver. Being looked at that way herself makes her feel afraid – but resigned, at the same time, knowing she deserves no better. When the men look at her friends like that, though, and at Seri in particular, that sets...

“Oh, I – that’s all right.” Nami smiles. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the medical things. I won’t be long.” She heads in the direction of the medical lab, to gather some simple first aid supplies. Trying to anticipate some common needs, hoping she has enough to spare for so many people. With...

@majus @Elfie Nami feels a faint pang of concern as Seri leaves. Is she worried about letting Seri be alone, or is it concern for herself—? She tries to put that aside. She turns to Kaelaen. “If you can bring…whatever’s left here, I’ll go get the medical supplies. And we can all head over to...

@majus @Elfie Nami takes a deep breath, in and out. Seri’s encouragement gives her a sense of calm, stability, helping her back to safe ground. She nods gratefully. “Sorry— I mean, thank you. I’d better pick out the medical supplies myself. I need to see what my stocks look like anyway. I...

@majus @Elfie “Weapons?” Nami shakes her head. “I only have my little blaster… But I can find some first-aid supplies to bring, yes, to cover any minor needs and emergencies over there. For anything more serious, we should bring people to this ship. I should give everyone a full check-up...

@majus @Elfie “I—!” Nami reaches after Seri, concerned. But she holds back from trying to stop her. It seems important to Seri to contribute somehow, and maybe this will help her be at ease. She moves over to help as well, meeting Seri’s eyes with a smile. “All right. Let’s get going.”

@majus @Elfie Nami nods to Kaelaen, and gestures to the clothes they sorted through. “Let’s bring these things over to the other ship,” she says. “Anything that looks useful. And we’ll find Seri something to eat.” She tries not to show her hesitation. In a way, she feels it’s easier to let...

@majus @Elfie Nami gives her a little extra squeeze, feeling a bit more relaxed herself. “Do you feel hungry?” she asks. “I – I must have some food around here, that’s something else on our list of – but don’t worry about that.” She smiles. “As a doctor, I’m qualified to say that everyone’s...
