    Summary

    [SPOILERS TO C4E5.]

    Occtis is still holding his head up high, but now that they’re in better lighting, Julien realizes he looks a bit unsteady. Nonetheless, the boy's voice is steadfast. “I have some work I need to get done this evening. If you want to stay in this stupid room while that happens, I can’t stop you, but I expect you to be polite about it.”

    Deciding the unsteadiness is only to be expected, Julien tries to muddle past it. “What kind of work?”

    Occtis’s jaw goes tight. “I… have to start making some adjustments, or else I won’t ‘heal’ properly. Is that going to be a problem for you?”

    Julien doesn’t know what he’s supposed to respond to that, so he defaults to setting some parameters. “There’s a sorry excuse for a curtain that you may use as a partition if you desire. I’ll take this bed; that side of the room is all yours to do as you see fit.”

    Occtis just stares at him. “You’re… fine with this?”

    Julien rolls his eyes. “Yes. I am extremely fucking fine with everything that is happening. Everything is extremely fucking great with me.” He flops down on the nearer of the two beds. “Do what you must.”

    “Thank you for being so kind.”

    Julien’s eye twitches.

    Summary

    "You mean 'we'll make it,'" Beau said, as an icy feeling crept up her spine. "Right, Deuces? We'll make it out."
    "No," he said, and that same soft, grim smile was back. "I meant you."
    There was a beat of silence where Beau just breathed.
    "What," she said, trying to keep her voice measured even as her thoughts spun out. "Why the fuck do you think I would leave without you?"
    "You have to," he said.
    "Why?"
    "My last question to Melora," Caduceus replied. He looked regretful, almost chagrined.
    "What was it?" Beau said, dread creeping up the base of her skull.

    --------------
    Beau and Caduceus are lost beneath the snows of Eisselcross, separated from the group. And time is running out for one of them.

    Even when he was a kid, Geordi always did have crushes on the knights in shining armor. If Data would just stop heroically saving him, it wouldn't be a problem.
