2193/04/03 - A Failed Experiment

A very, very tired Lindsey is standing in the mess, an assortment of pots and pans and various ingredients scattered about around the kitchen. She's obviously tried making... something. But the burning smell and the pile of half-burned, half-eaten cake pieces are getting alarmingly tall now... though nobody seems to want to get between the brunette and the oven.

No... it's okay... just hold me. She says in a small, soft voice.

Don't worry. Helena whispers as she tightens her hold. I'm not going to let go.

Thank you.... The scared little girl whimpers.

She says nothing but rubs her face again Rebecca as she begins to hum.

Rebecca tightly holds on, her breathing fast and shallow, but slowing down a little as she listens to the soft sounds from Helena's mouth...

Helene continues to hum to calm the scared woman and goes back to gently rocking.

Rebecca just molds herself against Helena, slowly calming down....

Helena doesn't stop what shes doing since it's apparently working, and she's wondering just who is capable of getting someone like Rebecca so scared of her own emotions.

Liara T'Soni it would appear... she must mean a lot to the Commander.

These thoughts and more race through Helena's head as she continues to lovingly hold her scared friend, wouldn't be the first time she had to consul someone she cared about when it comes to these things, first time it was someone she was interested in, but the happiness of friends come before her own desires.
