sickbay Tasin

Mission: Traitor amongst us?

He woke up in the middle of the night with the most horrible pain in his legs. It almost took his breath away and there was nothing he could do about it. His bloody legs would not move and he could not even reach down to try and put them in a different position to see if that would ease the pain.

Fear made him feel cold. What if this was the beginning of the rest of his life and it would never get any better than this. He would be an invalid, a burden to his family.

She took flight; Pix felt a pain that was making her glad she flew as her legs did not feel right. The access to the Air Ducting and vents were her fastest way to Sick Bay. Having felt the first pang of the pain she was bilt up in her bed and throwing the covers off. The anger hit her as she had cleared the outer vets of their dwelling, following the echo of emotions Pix made her way towards Sick Bay with all possible speed. The bit of fear that came with uncomfortable images pulled her forward to the access vent in the Office Her Rutherford occupied.

Clearing the office like a bullet with a trail Pix made her way across the SIck Bay to him. Heavy flyuttering brought her to a stop where she could het the maximum hug around Tasin's neck. The contact was enough to let her flood of warming support be expressed without him seeing the tears but he could feel her wanting to ease his dispair. She knew things always changed and Tasin's future is brighter as this 'Technology thing progresses.

She did not want him to feel alone; in the haste of this desire she had not even changed out of the fosft nightshirt that fell to her knees. SHe might have grabbed a small robe but she felt the extreme need to be... here.

"Oh princess." He gasped. "I am so glad to see you." He managed to get out. He was panting now trying somehow to keep the pain at bay. "I did not want to bother anyone till morning, knowing how busy you are all. And this pain is not even real. Can't feel my legs so shouldn't feel pain." He gasped again. "Don't want to be a big baby about this. Sorry if I woke you. Aren't you cold?" He was babling anything to stay on top of the pain.

Pix shook her head; she had not noticed the draft as her legs tingled a bit, she began rubbing them with a little friction to get blood moving and warmth to the limbs; with her connection to Tasin she let her own warming effect migrate through their connection and if Tasin concentrated on her projections the Phantom thing in his legs could be controlled by his simply putting his mind to rearranging the thoughts, changing the energy flow of his conious mind to over-ride the passive side of his brain still clinging to the lost pathways.

It might work but at least He will get the warmth of her being here and the soft projections that pass through the touch. It had been established with Tasin he could feel her when she is close; her empathy being much more designed to be shared with other beings might help his mind think of something other than pain that should not be there. His questioning 'why' put more of a focus upon the lost limbs, Pix tried to get his focus on her more than the false pain.

SHe flew up to hover at his level and extended her arms out and a slow turn to show off her loose nightshirt with the flowing sleeves. Pic like to not be restricted by her clothing binding to her. The freedom of movement is more of what she sought. Comfort over fashion is what one lady had said about Pix and her choices in clothing. Pix just hoped that her ruffle appearance did not show as much and that Tasin might get the hint Pix was quite happy and not cold in her attire.

Or did he not like her coming exposed in her sleeping attire, Pix would have dressed better but the pain called to her and she rushed here. She was confused on how to feel? She wanted him to get that he is important enough for her to come at first sensing of his pain to help?

"Oh good." Tasin said focussing on her. "I did not want you to feel uncomfortable. I know I flirt a lot, but I am really pretty harmless." he admitted. "And a gentleman. I would not want to scare you away. Your are the one helping me to cope in here."

Pix flew to him and touching his head placed a projection; the same meadow that she had spent time in when she was on her place of Birth. It is a happy memory as it was the last place she recalls from her home, where Her Rutherford had come down from the sky. The tranquility of the meadow that bordered a lake is a relaxing place. The cool water giving her legs the slight chills on a warm day. Her little 'needles from the water subsided as she just float in the water. The projected memory was placed with all the muster she could to give him an impression of peace and how her body and soul were one, how that place could take away anything that bothered them in Mind or body.

Pix put all she had to give him that extra push to hopefully ease his phantom effect a bit, aid his mind in taking the control to know the reality of there not being pain.

"Ohhhh." Tasin whispered. "Thank you." The pain lines in his face softened. "You are a true angel, my princess." After a while he looked at her. "But you must tell me when this is too much for you. I would rather be in pain than have you in pain."

Once the strain began to subside and her menstruations had done the desired effect Pix let out a yawn and even stretched a bit. SHe had been in a more deep sleep. THe strain of establishing deeper connections did take it out of a girl and Pix was not an exception; she needed to get some sleep. Lowering to the bed side Pix noticed her legs a little weak. Pix looked to the office and knew if she could just manage a little bit of flight.

Smiling at Tasin she rubbed here eyes a little and sat on the bed with her legs tucked under her. SHe was rapidly depleting her natural reserves, not only missing her robe but her sleeping bag as well. Crawling a little she began to move towards his pillow. Pix often slept on Her Rutherford's pillow wrapped in a bit of his blanket she drug up to cover her. This time she did not feel like moving, calling out with her eyes and the reach a small wash rag, large enough to be a blanket to herwas swuddenly on the bed, no one would notice it missing as she brought it low across the Sick Bay and then unfolded her 'blanket' to take a rest upon Tasin.

Smiling down at her Tasin fell asleep very soon after her. The pain took a lot of his energy and he was tired.

Pix was asleep rather quickly.


[Later, near Alpha Shift.]

Pix woke, stretched and look at the still sleeping Tasin. Another yawn then she decided it was time to get ready, slipping out of the cover she had brought to herself she folded it neatly and then placed it on the table beside the biobed. Then she hovered up and to his right cheek to place a small kiss upon it and flew back waiting for his eyes to open.

Pix could not leave and have him wondering if it was his fault that she had left.

When Tasin woke up not much later he had to smile seeing her still there. "Good morning, princess." He said. "Thank you for last night."

Pix nodded and smiled brightly. Gesturing to herself then thuming to Her Rutherford's Office she nod to him that she had to go.

"Yes of course, you must go to work." He said. "It is usually not as bad in the daytime when I have more to occupy my mind."

Courtsey and then she flew away to get a quick change.

Tasin lay back with his eyes closed. It had been a little white lie that the pain wasa goine but somehow with more hustle and bustle in sickbay during the day it seemed easier to take.

Pix went to the Office where she had a small stash of things, changing behind a small blind Her Rutherford had made for her, she emerged in a soft blue dress with matching colored sandals wrapping around her leg to mid calf. Sprucing her hair and general appearance she was ready for the day.

Tasin would be surprised when she came back and checked his monitor and her legs had a dull tingle to them. Flying to the 'replicator thing' she waved her hand and kicked it a couple of times to get it activated. Then a special pull down type screen that reacted to touch allowed her to access Tasin's favorate breakfast choices before catching a Nurse to deliver the tray ahile Pix lad the way and landed on the Table/tray that the Nurse placed his breakfast upon.

SHe smiled with her achievement to Tasin.

"you are extremely clever and that is my favourite." Tasin smiled. He hated the whole process of eating in sickbay though. As he could not move it was often a lot of fumbling to get the food to his mouth without half of it landing on the sheets. But he did not want her to see him in such a position. "I am sure you have rounds to do while I eat. I would not put you through something so boring." He grinned widely.

Pix made eye contact for that extra second, growing a sly knowing smile that seemed to have his number, she was learning him and nod as though saying 'Yeah Right.' Before she made a direct flight line to the Office to meet Her Rutherford.

He smiled as he watched her go and then sighed as he started to attack his breakfast hoping for the best.
