"See, that would be one of the things I'm slightly envious about," Kaya said. "I don't have the head for that sort of thing at all: Katara might have, a little, but that is lost to me. I'd love to see you at work mixing things together."

Kaya smiled at Fontaine and continued petting. He seemed like the perfect companion for someone like Nokosi.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I fee pretty frazzled about it myself sometimes: its why I have a tendency to throw myself into something like training in the first place, because I don't know when else I'm going to have time to do it. I like to swim, have time with my friends, I have to seep, I have to eat, I have to do rounds in the medical bay: it can get pretty frenzied."

And the way Nokosi looked, she really wished there was a way she could help him with his problem. It seemed to genuinely concern him that there was no way for him to resolve his sleeping and working habits.

"How could we accurately start to take record of time anyway?"
