Set in the Canon!RP-verse, written with the lovely Laura_muse.

Kara carefully made her way through Galactica's halls, heading towards Laura Roslin's quarters. Or, rather, the ones Laura had been appointed. She might have been shacking up with the Old Man--it wasn't exactly a secret--but Kara didn't really want to think too much about that. Not that she wasn

It never rains without pouring.

"Who could that be?" Laura knew that Bill had left strict orders that she wasn't to be disturbed unless it was an emergency.

Tyrol stood up with her, clearing his throat. "I should be going, anyway. Tigh's got Sam and me under strict orders. Absolutely no funny business. Thanks for the advice, Madam President."

"If you need to talk, I'm here, Chief. And I'll talk to the colonel about loosening the leash."

"Tory's got him spooked, the way she just switched sides like it meant nothing to her. Sam and I don't get it, either." the Chief replied as he opened the hatch. He wasn't really surprised to see Starbuck on the other side. He nodded to her and continued on his way.

"Starbuck, this is a surprise." Laura would have expected her to be right in the middle of the action right now. She wondered if she had been sent with a report, then discarded the notion. Bill would have called if he was sending someone to her. "Come in. I take it this isn't about Earth?"

"Well, I mean, it could be." Kara smiled and let herself in, after nodding to the Chief, and closed the door. She paced instead of sat, because Kara had too much energy and sometimes it wasn't easy for her to sit still if she didn't have to.

Kara looked at Laura, and then felt herself flush. She felt stupid, all of a sudden, for coming here. "Don't you think it's all pointless?" she blurted, before she could help herself.

This was a Kara Thrace she hadn't seen in quite a while. Since before the Occupation, if Laura was being honest with herself. She looked almost as if she had spent at least part of the day smiling, and with a good reason for doing so.

She was glad someone was smiling. Bill had refused point-blank to speak of Colonel Tigh with her and though the two men were still working together just as they always had, their friendship had not yet mended itself.

But if Kara Thrace could be standing in front of her and smiling and really meaning it, it gave her hope for the rest of it.

"Being happy," Kara said bluntly, waving her hand. "Loving someone. Acting like any of us are going to frakking walk away from what we found down there."

Kara prowled around Laura's quarters, wanting to pick things up and put them down again. "It feels like I've never lived anywhere but Galactica. I think sometimes how far away we are from Caprica, and I can't--I can't sleep." She looked at Laura, her expression serious. "I'm going to die down there. I know it. I know it."
