Katrina Swete
A corridor on Blue Dwarf
------------------------------------------------------------
Katrina had just left the medi-bay. She'd been brave and even worn a smile
while she'd cleaned up Keto's ointments, but she didn't feel that way. She'd
still been nuts and worried over Seymour.
She pressed the button for the lift. When it opened, she came face-to-face
with the Commander. He was still in a space suit, only the helmet removed.
D'Arcy-Jada Longwood was with him.
"Seymour!" she cried. She, involuntarily, threw her arms around him in a hug.
"I was so worried!"
"I'm all right," the Commander told her as she pulled away. "The Captain-"
"Is dead. I heard," she interrupted. "You're lucky." She forced a grin. "But
I guess you're tougher than you look, Captain."
"Thanks, Katrina," the Commander said. "If you'll excuse me, the Drive Room
is expecting me." He walked past her, DJ close behind.
"Wait." Katrina grabbed his arm. He turned back to her. Katrina immediately
wished she'd just let him go. "I, uh, just wanted to, you know, tell you
something."
Niples looked at her, waiting. "Yes?"
Katrina's eyes dropped. "Never mind. It can wait."
Seymour nodded, and proceeded again towards the Drive Room.
Katrina watched him go. "Stupid stupid stupid," she growled, hitting herself
on the head. She sighed and dropped her head. "I guess I'll go check on PITA."

OOC: Okay guys, that's it for me for a while. If I can pull it off, I might
be able to come back to my point of origin a few times this week and next
before my mother gets her phone back, but I promise nothing. I'll miss you
all, but this isn't the last of me! I'll be back soon as I can. Bye!
