Relief and exhaustion [Open]

It seemed unreal, and yet Kate should have known. They should have looked harder. Other heroes came back before, it wasn't completely surprising for her. Even her father was back. But months past, and they were sure of it. Sure Cassie was gone forever.

Yet, they were wrong, and had no idea she was trapped somewhere. And the hell she went through before they somehow found her. It was heartbreaking. She had visited and made sure she was in Medbay all right, but eventually she stepped away to take a break while her friend slept. Plus with Scott back, he could give her much needed support and look after his daughter again.

She was going to go for a jog in Hydroponics, but she ended up flopping down on the alien grass. She didn't even realize how tired she was because she drifted off moments later. She dozed amidst the plants as some of the fauna occasionally sniffed her curiously.

Oh well then! Lash didn't feel like bothering her ranger teammate, knowing all too well how important sleep could be in a ship like this. The fields were plenty big to move a creature like hers around, after all.

Unfortunately, Dog decided that this was the perfect moment to run around her and make the lease tighten across her legs. She fell rather unceremoniously close to the other girl with a thud.

"OW!"

Kate jerked up and her eyes flew open.

"What?!" She looked around, and then blinked at Lash, and her pet?

"Lash? You ok?"
