Tiria was tired. Not so much on a physical level as much as an emotional one. She'd been through a wringer. Up and down. Joy, fear, peace, and loss.
She'd come back to her shared quarters to clean up. Her uniform had a bloody hand print in the middle of her chest and she was still wearing her leotard under her uniform.
She sat on the edge of her bed and looked at her hands. She had no real idea where they were going, no real idea what her future held. Sig's emotions had been all over the map today. There was no doubt he felt things very deeply. She saw his face in her minds eye as she'd shared the song of the Aurora with him. Her lips curved at the memory.
She sighed and stood to strip off her clothing. Then she went into the bathroom and stood in the sonic shower. She preferred cold water and was careful with sonic waves the feedback could give her a headache if she got the wrong setting. She wasn't a senior officer so didn't have access to a water shower.
Maybe someday, if she was lucky, she'd be able to use Sig's. She supposed that he'd probably want warm or hot water though. She was suddenly embarrassed by this train of thought and tried to shut off the visions of him in the shower.
She figured he would be in sickbay with the injured for some time, and there was no guarantee of any kind that he'd want to come see her at all when he was done. He was still deep into his grief for Hannah.
She wished she could help him but he seemed to think that being with her was somehow disloyal to Hannah. She couldn't really understand that philosophy since her race was by nature polygamous. She did respect his feelings though. Yet she knew that had Hannah regained her memory long ago she would have happily shared Sig with her. She wasn't certain that the humans would have agreed with that.
She thought maybe it would be a good idea to go onto the station and and do a little shopping while she had the chance.
