She lay on a bed sleeping but not well. She jerked awake
and pulled herself into a semi sitting position.
"Athena..." Rangi approached the bed where the counselor sat
looking shocked and confused. "How are you feeling?" she
asked.
"I feel fine," she started without thinking, "Shouldn't I be
getting back to.... to...." She sighed as the thought that
had been right there disappeared and now was inaccessible.
"To your office." Rangi suggested with a smile. She picked
up the medpadd and read through the recent history, noting
the medication and the improvements noticed over the last
few hours. " Do you remember where your office is?" Rangi
asked.
"Its just.." She started and lamely finished, "Around the
corner?"
" Not quite...but its close to here." Rangi replied. " Do
you know what this place is?" she asked.
"Sickbay," popped out without thought and with a hint of
disgust that she wouldn't know such a simple detail.
"That's right." Rangi replied "...and can you tell me what
you do in your office?"
"I ask annoying questions," she stated matter-of-factly.
Rangi laughed. " Well yes you do...sometimes." she said and
pulled forward a chair. " Do you remember who gave that to
you?" she asked, pointing at the glittering ring on Athena's
finger. " It's beautiful isn't it?"
She looked at the ring {Do I know my name is Athena or am I
just getting used to everyone saying it.} She nudge the
ring with her finger making it sparkle and glint a little
more as she thought about the questions asked. She still
felt warmth and security .... and love when she looked at
the ring... on a small sigh she answered, "Yes.......... Its
beautiful." She watched the ring a moment or two longer and
tried, "Its from...." {Damn! I was hoping the name would
just pop out there.} She felt the urge to cry but didn't
give into it not wanting to analyze the reason.
Rangi tilted her head hoping that Athena would say the name.
" From...? " she waited. " It's from.." Athena met her gaze
and Rangi looked expectantly at her.
"Vvvvv.....," she hung her head and covered up the ring,
"I'm Sorry."
"Don't worry about it." Rangi said in a gentle tone. She
gave Athena a few moments then, seeming to make a change of
subject said : " I'm glad of a few moments to sit down. I
haven't been well and getting back to duty is tougher than I
thought."
"I feel a bit asea myself," Athena responded. Are you
feeling overwhelmed by your duties after being ill?"
Rangi considered it. " Not overwhelmed exactly...tired
certainly..but its taken my mind off a personal problem.
There are people depending on me and decisions to make." She
saw Athena listening to her words and without a break
continued " Do you remember what Viktor does?"
"He's an Erassian General," Athena's brow furrowed at the
weird placement of the question. "Why do you ask," she
continued wondering why Rangi had asked.
Rangi smiled and got to her feet. " Because I wanted to see
if you remembered him." she replied. " You do...you
see, you didn't ask me 'Viktor who?'...I'll come back and
see you tomorrow ok?"
"Couldn't I be lying around my quarters instead of here,"
she asked. "I mean I'm not likely to hurt anyone or myself,
am I?"
"I'd prefer that you stay here for another night." Rangi
replied." By this time tomorrow I think you will find that
you'll have a lot more recall. You wont be so confused. It's
better if you remain here for a few more hours."
Athena sighed heavily show her disgust but didn't argue.
She nodded ignoring the small pang it still gave her to do
so. She even sort of snuggled down into the bed as if she
were ready for a nap. {Hopefully I won't have been bored to
death by then.}
Rangi walked to the door then turned and looked back. She
was well aware that Athena didn't want to stay confined to
her room so tried to give her something to dwell on. " That
really is a lovely ring Athena." she said.
