Even after Cross' encouraging words regarding counselling, V'lana felt reluctant to actually make that step - but less so than before, so that was progress. Waiting until everyone had returned in one piece was sound advise as well, but nudged an entirely different fear V'lana harboured. What if she connected to people, made new friends, maybe fell in love again (okay, let's not go that far just yet), and then something happened?
Of course, something happening was always a danger, but in the Theurgy's case and situation, something happening was more likely to.. happen.
"Enjoy the rest of your shift, and pop by if you experience another unbearable headache.", V'lana nodded, watching Cross leave sickbay.
"You can come out of hiding now.", V'lana sighed at the nurse who had initially greeted Cross in the lobby, and who still seemed a little weary around him - hence her making herself look exceedingly busy as far away from him as possible.
"That was a lot of cursing."
V'lana shrugged. "They're just words, and not even directed and you, or me, or anyone in specific. I didn't mind. It was refreshing."
Her colleague gave her an odd look, and returned to her place in the lobby. V'lana in the meanwhile made her way to one of the offices, deciding to take some extra time for proper documentation of Cross' case, and an extra request for a consult with one of the doctors to find a more permanent and complete cure for the poor man.
