Location: Nyx's Quarters SB 251

Max padded around the room nervously as he watched Nyx pack her bag. There wasn't much for her to do by means of packing really. She had several uniforms of course and a few of her favorite outfits, a pair of shoes she couldn't part with and yes, her tooth brush. She had a few personal items that she wouldn't part with, an etching Devyn had made for her a long time ago and a locket she received as a gift from her adoptive parents for her sixteenth birthday.

As she packed the last of her things in the small case, she watched Max almost pacing. Stepping in his way she stooped down and ruffled the fur around his ears. "Don't you worry Maxie, I'm not going anywhere without you." she kissed the top of his head. "Soo, you got anything you want packed?" She asked. Max barked and ran out of the room. Nyx laughed and waited a few minutes before the dog came back, his food bowl in his mouth and tail wagging.


"Oh yes, we can't forget that can we?" She took the bowl from his mouth and put it in the case. "Okay Max all packed. Kell should be here any minute and we'll be on our way." She talked to the dog like he was her child. "Go get your leash." She clapped her hands before suddenly looking sad as she opened one last drawer. She pulled out a small appliance not much bigger than her thumb. It was bronze in color and had one small silver button.

Nyx's thoughts were interrupted when Devyn walked into the room. "You don't answer to the door chime anymore?" He asked as he walked into the room and found her staring at the small metallic. Startled, she pushed the object into her pack.

"What's that?" He asked with a grin as he walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. Max danced around the man demanding his share of attention as well.

"Max's leash." She picked the leash from the bed and handed it to Kell.

"I know what that is silly. I meant what you put in the pack." He plopped on the bed next to her.

"My leash." She sighed.

"Ah." Kell grimaced. He should have known.

"I have to give it to my next commanding officer. They actually hand delivered it to me today."

Devyn touched the appliance on Nyx's neck. "Hey, maybe this will be the Commanding officer to give it back before you leave...Maybe he'll let you work on your control." He slipped his arm around her. "Either way, I'll have your back this time." He gave a squeeze.

"Yeah, when you aren't being a thorn in my backside." She playfully pushed him away.

"Hey, that's part of my charm," He pushed back before standing up and taking her case from the bed. "You all ready?"

Nyx grabbed the lease and hooked Max to it. "Ready. Let's get outta here."

Max barked as the three of them left the apartment.
