You do not need to have a reason to come here

Finally managed to arrange to see Noelle. Said she was doing doubles again and did not have time. She joked however. Always laughing. Laughing at joke only she understands. Something about a "booty call". Don't know what that is. Not in Spiegel's book.

She could not mean tezha. Not once since starting to make tezha has she ever asked for same. Is just at my door. Or am at hers. Or we eat something and then tezha later. There is talk but usually after tezha.

So do not know what this "booty call" is. Will not say no if it's something important. Say yes even if don't know what she is asking.

Off shift now, back to quarters. She is there. In my bed. Asleep. Peaceful, serene. Take off clothes, curl behind her. Will sleep, too. Will try to. Do not need to yet, not for another few hours.

Wrap arm around her waist. Bury face in back of her neck. Feel her stir. Murmurs softly. Is completely undefended for once. Drifts in and out of sleep for a while. Finally stirs and asks me if I am awake.
I apologize. For keeping her waiting. She apologizes. For “passing out on you” as she puts it.
Yawns. Says is too tired for tezha. Everything sore, she says. Is sorry to disappoint me.

She relaxes into my hands. Her muscles are tense, knotted. Falls asleep again finally. Curl around her.

Is alright. Have not disappointed me at all. Sleep, little warrior. Just sleep.
