>ALL MY TOMORROWS ARE WASTED IN YESTERDAYS [OPEN | JULIAN ]

[kukalaka_n_me]

[Julian was in the music room. He wasn't really a musician, although he'd had enough training as a child to be able to play the clarinet fairly decently. He supposed he could replicate one, but then he wasn't sure if he wanted to bother taking it up again. So, he just sat, and sort of experimentally plonked on the piano keys. The fact that it didn'

[ finally with the use of both her legs returned, lorna was getting all the use out of them she could. which meant a lot of wandering. nothing had caught her interest quite like the sound of piano keys. she poked her head into the music room and, obviously liking what she saw, entered.

not wanting to disturb the person "playing" piano, she headed over to a vulcan lyre. having never seen it, she picked it up to inspect it, but politely chose not to strum. instead she set it down again - or meant to, but one clumsy move sent it crashing to the ground with a cacophonous twang. now that the silence was broken, apologies streamed out of her without so much of a thought. ]

Oh crap, sorry, sorry, I know you're playing, that was an accident, I'm sorry!

[kukalaka_n_me]

[Julian had been aware of someone else coming into the room, a girl he had seen before, but hadn't been in the mood for introductions. When he heard the commotion of an instrument hitting the floor, though, he couldn't help but look over.

Then he smiled half-heartedly and shook his head.]

I wouldn't call it playing, really. More like pressing keys and hoping I won't make myself, and now you, deaf.

[spurring]

Pardon?

[ god, she'd go with it if she didn't have other things on her mind and on her tongue. she returned his smile, but hers was full wattage. ]

Nah, I'm kidding. If listening to my drunk co-workers sing "Oh Danny Boy" hasn't blow out my hearing, I don't think you could.

[ she made her way over to him, extending a hand, as she always did. ]

Lorna Forge.

[kukalaka_n_me]

[Her attempt at humour did earn her a widening of his smile.]

Unfortunately there's no clarinet. Or fortunately as the case may be.

Julian Bashir.

[He couldn't not hold out his hand since she'd offered, but hopefully she wouldn't notice the fading bruises.]

[experiences]

[ the ninth host of the dax symbiont is a bit shaken up after running into dukat. she's amazed that she handled it so well, but that doesn't mean she wasn't still fighting the urge to scream. she's not really sure where she intended to go, but somehow ends up in the music room where, thankfully, there's someone, perhaps the only person, she can talk to about this without the risk of them learning about something they shouldn't. ]

Julian.

[kukalaka_n_me]

Ezri?

[He swiveled on the piano stool to look at her. As soon as he saw her face, he got to his feet and moved to her side, a look of concern in his expression.]

What's wrong?

[experiences]

Dukat's here.

[kukalaka_n_me]

What?!

[Julian's entire body tensed, his hand reflexively tightening around Ezri's shoulders. Gul Dukat. On the station. His expression became grimly determined, and he turned toward the exit.]

Where is he? The Promenade?

my apologies for the appallingly late tag <3

[jadeskin]

[She'd come into the music room looking for something to play - music was something she hadn't practiced in a long time and she had found herself missing it, especially recently.

She wasn't expecting anyone else to be in there, so she was surprised to not only find someone at the piano, but even more surprised when she saw who it was.

Instinctively, her hand went to the phaser at her hip, but she made no move to pull it out - she knew the storm was over and that he wasn't like that anymore. It still made her feel a little more at ease to have it, though. (Which was something she hated - it made her feel weak, like she needed a crutch. But she'd get to dealing with that later.)]

No worries hon <3 I gotta go to work :((

[kukalaka_n_me]

[He glanced up, also in surprise, and then when he saw it was Gaila, he stood up abruptly, forcing the stool to skid backwards with a jarring sound.

His eyes widened at her reaching for her phaser, and he held his hands up to show he wasn't going to do anything to her.]

I -- um -- hello.

[jadeskin]

[She dropped her hand when she saw him stand up and move back, sighing and shaking her head at herself. Her own hands went up, indicating that she had no plans to harm him, either.]

Hi. [she gestured to the weapon.] Sorry, I just...am being careful, I guess.

[Paranoid would have been a better term.]

[kukalaka_n_me]

No. It's understandable. Really. After everything that's happened. It's only been a day or two. I'm a little jumpy myself.

[He remained where he was, deciding it was best to allow her to maintain whatever distance she was comfortable with.]

Have you...spoken yet to the other you?
