Day 36: Sunroom
He'd asked about visitors on the bulletin so that he'd be prepared, right?
Of course right. And so, when Zelnick had seen Talana (and oh, she'd looked beautiful, even if her skin was human-peach and not Syreen-blue, even if her eyes didn't flash like a cat's, even though she was wearing a lot more clothing than her uniform usually involved), he hadn't been as surprised as he might have been.
He hadn't expected to be so affected by her desperation, her sadness, her... her Talana-ness, even if she wasn't calling herself Talana. He hadn't thought he'd want to believe her. He hadn't thought that he'd leave the room and still feel the warmth of her hand in his, or the knots tying themselves around his heart, or the ache behind his eyes.
Shaking off his nurse in the sun room, he slumped on the end of one of the couches, head tilted back against the cushions and eyes closed. He was a grown man, he'd spent several years fighting a near-hopeless war and very nearly won, and he wasn't going to cry over seeing his girlfriend.
