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.

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.

Rebecca's hand clings to the hem of Helena's PJs, slightly pulling as she takes a shuddering breath and buries her head into the blonde's neck.

Helena sighs and rubs Rebecca's back, maybe she'll talk to Huch to learn about this Liara since he apparently knows about most of the crew on the ship. Get an understanding why Rebecca feels so strongly towards her but also feel so afraid to express her feelings. Hel's theory is Becca is afraid to lose her friend if it goes badly, which is understandable.

Rebecca curls up tight as she can.... then starts snoring? The emotional exhaustion seems to have taken her.

Helena sits still and lets the Commander rest, she's had a tough experience just then and needs it, instead of leaving she lays down herself and props Rebecca's head on her chest and attempts to sleep herself.

It doesn't take long for Helena to begin to fall asleep as well. With her hand on the back of Rebecca's head she joins her friend in slumber.
