earth / not a place seven ever expected to see. not that she doubted the captain’s skills in getting her crew home , but seven remained unsure about if she would also witness earth. this was not a place for a borg , former or not. there is a wariness here that was something that lessened the longer she was on the ship. now it had begun all over again. but here , here was different. among the janeway family / seven felt like she belonged. another collective. here they are free from constraints.
apparent in the way kathryn has consumed more alcohol that usual. tipsy : is a term seven of nine has heard being used. and is currently pressed against the former borg’s side , seven can feel the heat of her body even through the oversized sweater. grown more accustomed to affection , and while seven does not outwardly appear receptive of the advances , she is. implants work to quell her racing heart / failing. thankfully , they have retired to a place of privacy. enjoying the sight of stars in the sky / their feet firmly planted on the ground. a star system seven of nine has never seen before coming to earth. so much is still new to her. the ex - borg is silent , for communicating such feelings does not come easy.
rather , she takes the time to place a lingering / slow kiss on janeway’s cheek. the silence of the night surrounds them , quite like a reminder of the space they once inhabited. and tonight had been a dinner with family / new friends. a collective seven of nine does not mind being a part of. ❛ thank you for tonight. ❜
