She didn’t know what to make of this. But she was glad to see him. Force, she was glad to see him. More so than she would ever admit aloud. A familiar face, HIS familiar face, as unexpected as it was... was incredibly welcome.
His smile made something release in her chest, eased some of the tension that had been there since she’d appeared in the sickbay, and she answered it with a warm, crooked smile that was more than a little bit... fond. “I’m glad to see you, too.”
She slid off the medical bed, her bare feet all but silent against the floor. But Guinan was right; she needed to take it easy, needed to rest. Even if she would rather not. And would probably do less of it than she needed to. She still hurt, still ached from her injuries, with a bone-deep exhaustion that was more intense than she’d felt in a long time, and she caught herself on the bed before she went and fell on her face or something equally graceful.
