he’s perched in the middle of a pile of papers and books, his padd a glowing beacon in the centre of it all. the writing on the pages ranged from messy but readable to barely legible chicken scratch, and there were countless footnotes and additions scrawled into the margins. he’d put off studying for this test far too long, and it’s already fast approaching the middle of the night. he knows the material backwards and forwards, but he’s pretty sure the tactical analysis instructor hates him. there’s no room for error here, except -- ❝ shit. ❞ he glances up from his pile, eyes wide, and finds his friend. ❝ I’m missing the notes from last wednesday. I was at that class, wasn’t I ?? ❞ @medicusxcaeli / ♥

blue eyes meet a green gaze & brows lift slightly in acknowledgement. he studies features SO familiar to him -- only marred by the cut above his eye, a bruise on his cheek -- as he considers, searches for an answer.

in short? “i don’t know.” head turns again, cerulean gaze peering up through he darkness. the longer version’s complicated & hits too close to home. his thoughts immediately jump to an application & an offer, made in secret: vice admiralty, yorktown. for a moment, he’s concerned. tense. bones can’t know. there’s no way. it’s a conversation he’s not prepared for, definitely not now with the offer pigeonholed. & perhaps it'll remain that way, unopened & unexplored -- a fleeting thought, a what if. the crew’s got to be rescued first &, assuming that goes off without a hitch, then what? do they roll over & accept defeat? remain here, STUCK on altamid with krall for the rest of their days? surely not.

but it was possible. a no-win scenario if there ever was one.

he shakes his head ( small movements ), as if to clear it. NONE of that matters now. he can’t think about it -- not escape, not a pending decision to leave, to wash his hands clean of cheating death, not whether or not he’ll be better off for doing so. he WON’T let himself. the most important thing is protecting his people, now & always. then they’ll take it in stride, one step at a time. “we gotta get the crew back.” // @medicusxcaeli.
