holy rings of betazed

[warpfairy]

Isabella doesn't really like being surrounded by Betazoids. She can ward off the scans - it's barely an effort - but they look at her like she's terribly unfriendly for doing it. Still, she almost never gets verbal complaints for it. She can conduct her shopping while Lalita hires a ship to go get the Harlequin from where he left her, and then they have a week to kill on the planet and its immediate environs while the tugboat goes out and fetches her.

Shopping isn't going to take that long. They should do tourist things!

"I am sorry. I spoke without thinking."

"It's okay," he says wryly. "You didn't know."

[warpfairy]

"I should have. I turned over my entire life to providing more people the civilization I'm accustomed to, but don't often think about the details of what it means to lack it."

"Sometimes I forget that other people don't remember history as personally as I do," he murmurs.

[warpfairy]

She nods once. "I'm sorry," she repeats.

[dream_me_up]

He smiles.

"It's okay."

[warpfairy]

Isabella smiles weakly.

[dream_me_up]

Lalita hugs her.

[warpfairy]

Hugs! Hugs are a good end to misunderstandings.

[dream_me_up]

They are, it's true!
