Brig, walls closing in...

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::paces to brig doorway as footsteps echo approach outside, peering through slats of light, tensing::

::relaxes slightly in relief as a tiny figure topped with golden hair rounds the corner::

::moves gaze to her escort as they approach and pause just outside the door, forcing tones to level cool::

Open the door and let me see her.

*gasps as she sees Tom*
Granddad!
*begins to move towards him*

[mirrorlinnis]

::jerks renara_paris back slightly, gripping her shoulders tightly with both hands while meeting the angry gaze on the other side of the gate::

First things first. Your ship...or at least your host ship...is gone. They disappeared off our sensors along with the Emperor and his group several hours ago.

Unless my Captain finds a reason to follow, you may just be under our graces. Keep that in mind before doing anything foolish.

::keys in security code slowly, letting door part to admit the girl::

[renara_paris]

*slowly walks in, glancing at Linnis worriedly*
*wrinkles nose as harsh scent hits her*
*stumbles towards Tom*

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::hides worry at the news, nodding stiff acknowledgment::

Fine.

::kneels as Renara hesitantly makes her way forward, reaching out to draw her in for a hug before pulling back and brushing a strand of hair off her face::

Are you okay, kiddo?

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::watches as Renara is carried off down the corridor struggling, forcing down urge to go after her::

::turns back to mirrorlinnis, straightening::

Talk.

[mirrorlinnis]

::purses lips in consideration, then motions him out of brig::

Walk with me.

::arches brow::

Unless you like it in that cess pit.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

No fond memories for the old prison scrapbook as of yet, no.

::follows, glancing discretely around::

Rather empty. I take it I'm low priority to everyone but you?

[mirrorlinnis]

Don't be flattered. I hold none of the familial fealty my double may for you.

::spares a look back as they turn a corner::

I would hope that having been aboard the NX-Enterprise during the Emperor's games, you'd buy into the double nonsense without in depth explanation.
