[Lying next to you having nightmare]

[sleeps better the nights she crashes in Jim's room, usually, but tonight Jim's woken her, immediately snapped her from tired friend to concerned nurse] Jim?

[cptn_j_kirk]

[Doesn't hear Christine, and writhes about on the bed, muttering unintelligibly]

[nurse_cchapel]

C'mon, Jim... [shakes her shoulder lightly] Captain, wake up.

[cptn_j_kirk]

[Wakes and sits straight up in the bed, breathing heavily.] Shit...

[nurse_cchapel]

[shifts to wrap her arms tightly around Jim] You're safe. Just another nightmare.

[cptn_j_kirk]

[Tries to catch her breath and, oh hello hugs. This is new... She doesn't really know how to handle someone trying to comfort her after a bad dream.] Sorry.. Didn't mean to wake you.

[nurse_cchapel]

I'm a light sleeper, it's fine. [gives a tighter squeeze and pulls away, knowing Jim still has limits about stuff like this] You all right?

[cptn_j_kirk]

[Nods slowly.] Just fine...

[nurse_cchapel]

What was it tonight?

[cptn_j_kirk]

Just a bunch of silly memories. They're not important.

You should go back to sleep.

[nurse_cchapel]

Psychologically speaking, if they're causing nightmares, they're not not important.

[cptn_j_kirk]

Good thing you're not a psychologist then...

[nurse_cchapel]

Jamison.

[cptn_j_kirk]

Christine.

[nurse_cchapel]

I wish you would just talk to me.

[cptn_j_kirk]

Trust me, Christine. You don't want to know...
