Kai laughed in spite of himself, laying there and dozing in and out. He never really did fall all the way asleep, but then agian he wasn't really all the way awake either. He hadn't meant that it was happening to her. He had meant that it was happening to him BECAUSE of her.

Ajora sighed as she returned later that night, looking to the half asleep man in the bed before her.

" How are you feeling?"

After a minute of slow shifting as he woke up the rest of the way, Malykai pulled the blanket down so that his slightly flushed face was exposed. He looked at her.

"Why do you keep checking on me?" He was still sick, but it looked like the meds were working.

"I'm not going to sail the boat right now."

Kai didn't say anything. He curled up higher under the blanket.

"I don't really need someone to care for me."

The man just shook his head. Something about it seemed like a vague double standard, but he felt too bad to bother with it. Kai just pulled the blanket back over his head.

Ajora sighed, moving the blankets and checking his temp, then let him return to sleep.

Kai only had that set of clothes. Granted they were getting kind of raunchy and crumpled by this point, but he didn't care. He slunk off to find fluids about an hour after her last visit, blankets about him and all.

As kai hit the halls, people were rushing about everywhere, looking completely frantic as Ajora finally found Kai and gave him little choice and pointed him towards deck.

" THOSE BLASTED WATER HUGGERS RIPPED THE STERN IN HALF!!!"

She shouted, trying to get everyone up deck, then they'd board the life rafts.

Kai was more than startled, but this was far too much for his brain to process. The man simply shuffled along. Well, if she wanted to get rid of him, this was certainly one way to do it.

Moments later, with a lone child that had no mother or father now, and the few remaining crew members climbing on board, two life boats dropped into the water, Kai, child, and Ajora on one, the non-innocents on the other... the supplies with the captain .


They barely all made it clear when the boat went under and Ajora was merely setting down, reading a map and charting their course, still set for cuba.

Kai, sick as he was, felt bad to the child.

"Hey, kiddo, what's your name?" The child said nothing, which didn't really surprise Kai. This had been pretty traumatic, even for Kai - and he was all grown up. Sighing inwardly, the man reached out, curling an arm around the little ____ and enveloping both of them with the blanket. He forced himself to relax, to open up.

Immediately images and voices leapt across his mind's eye, fading after a minute. Kai smiled faintly, understanding at least one thing.

"Mi nombre es Kai. Sé que tienes miedo ahora mismo, pero todo irá bien. Usted y yo sólo puedo sentarme aquí por un tiempo. ¿Quieres decirme tu nombre? Usted no tiene que si usted no desea."

((My name is Kai. I know that you are scared right now, but it'll be okay. You and I can just sit here for a while. Do you want to tell me your name? You don't have to if you don't want to.))

The little boy looked up with big eyes and kept silent under the covers, watching Ajora. He was worried and lost, and this was all scary.

The man waited for a while and then just nodded, giving the boy a friendly squeeze.

"Eso está bien. Está bien." He glanced up at Ajora.
