[Ten Forward:] Guinan at the bar | OTA

[she_listens]

There are more people on the Enterprise tonight.

How and when Q chooses to bring them aboard still remains something of a mystery. Sometimes there is only one new face out in the crowd, and sometimes there are dozens. Guinan takes note of them all, from behind the bar, waiting tables, offering words of comfort and explanation.

And, most importantly, she listens.

They all have their own stories, their own fears, discomforts, and needs. In a strange new place, sometimes the best form of solace is a friendly listening ear and something warm to drink.


[ooc: feel free to walk up to Guinan at the bar or handwave that she passes by your table! For new folks, Guinan is the head bartender here, and happy to answer questions if you've got 'em. ^__^]

"Well... anywhere has to be better, right?" she asked softly.

Prim has a point. She has a very, very good point. Here, suddenly, she has her sister again. Katniss has a chance to make up for everything she's ever done wrong by her sister. First, make certain that somehow, Prim gets to live that long life she deserves. It might be impossible (especially given how she really is still trying to figure things out here) but she's going to try.

Katniss hugs her sister close and closes her eyes, making a silent vow not to let anyone harm her sister again. "We're together. You're right. It has to be better."

She hugged her sister back. "You'll see, Katniss. We'll find a way to bring everyone else here, to learn about this place, and to make friends... We can have a better life pretty much anywhere."

She pulled back enough to look her sister in the face. "So long as we are together."
