Decisions, Part II

Back in her quarters, curled up in the same corner of the couch as before.

 

Fresh cup of tea, though.

 

So much was really outside of her control. Jylliene didn’t know quite what to expect of herself next time she saw Nijil. She really didn’t want to do anything differently, but at the same time, she knew they both had the upcoming mission coloring their decisions.

 

It definitely factored into this.

 

She just wanted to feel like she had some handle on something. She didn’t want to feel forced into making choices about their relationship based on IT.

 

IT. The mission was now an IT. An enemy with its own identity, no longer a means to try to get the upper hand on an actual enemy. The mission should be a neutral. Well, even a good. A difficult good, but something that was still supposed to help them try to avoid some very bad potential outcomes.

 

Maybe her visit to Dr Pavilion would help relegate the mission back to at least a neutral. Something that, even if she could not embrace, she could at least work with.

 

And her relationship with Nijil, whether it progressed or held steady in the meantime, no longer felt like it was being held hostage by IT. It. The friendly it? A kinder, gentler it, with a bow around its neck. Now she was just getting ridiculous. Did the doctor slip something else in that hypospray? Or was something off in the tea? Jylliene peered suspiciously at the teacup, shrugged, and drank the last of it.

 

Her cup empty, she placed it on the table and closed her eyes. It was indeed a comfortable couch.

 

“Computer...lights.”

 

Almost as soon as the room dimmed, Jylliene’s eyes closed.
