Location: CMO's Quarters
Timeline: current - evening after briefing

ON:
Nyx walked into her quarters after a long and exasperating day. She'd had meetings and done boarding physicals, the briefing was far from pleasant although she felt triumphant after that for a little while. Most everything had gone well until her meet with Colonel Drake. She'd been fiery and upbeat all day and even forced herself to agree with Drake during his explanation as to why he should keep hold of her leash.

Seeing Kell waiting for her at home was probably the best thing that had happened all day. She smiled when she saw him carrying two plates to the table but her appetite was hungry for him right now and not food. As he put the plates down she moved into his arms. It felt so good to have them around her.

"The Colonel kept the controller." She sounded so deflated and disappointed. "He said he had no intention of using it and locked it into a safe in his office where no other officer could get access to it except through him. And he said he would have to think about allowing me to 'practice' on the base because he had others to think about beside me."

"He's right you know." Devyn smiled as he caressed her cheek with his finger. "Unless the conditions are completely controlled, you could hurt someone, including yourself." He'd seen her monster, fought her monster, even had to hunt her before but still he loved her.

"Yes, but they all promise never to use it and they always do."

"Nyx, I never used it against you, Commander Ryland never used it either." He reminded her.

"Never allowed me to use it either." She pouted.

"There were others to consider. You know that." He shook his head. She was feeling better because she was starting to argue. That was the Nyx he knew and loved. It had been a long day for him as well and he didn't want to argue about it. He was tired and knew that Nyx had to be as well.

"So tell me about Major Tallus? What the hell were you thinking instigating an argument like that today at the briefing?"

"Hey don't turn that on me. He got inside my head and read my thoughts. I never called him a Romulan - I only thought it. And I am right about the Marines or anyone else that is as pigheaded and self righteous as a Marine. You tell them to stop drinking and what are they gonna do?" She asked.

"They're going to do as their Commanding Officer tells them." Devyn grinned.

"The hell they are." She sat up and Kell laughed. "They'll be angry and belligerent and they'll have a hard on for anything that moves either to fuck it or fight it."

"Wow, you really have it in for the Marines don't you?" Devyn was stifling a laugh. "And the language, Adanyxia. I should wash your mouth out with soap." He shook his head. "Since when do you have such disdain for Marines?"

"The last Marine base I was on..." She started with a sneer. Devyn remembered how badly the Marine Commander on Keris IV had misused Nyx and her 'special abilities'. He'd kept her chained as a beast and when she was allowed to be in human form, he'd kept her confined to her quarters releasing her only when her 'talent's' were needed. He was afraid of her and he kept her a veritable prisoner because of it.

"I remember. I got you out of there as quickly as I could when I found out." He held her a little tighter feeling guilty for leaving her at the Marine's mercy for over six months. It wasn't until he'd tried to visit her that he found out what was happening and then it took nearly three months to get someone to listen and transfer her away from the base on Keris.

"Yes you did." She snuggled in and calmed down some. "I just can't make myself believe that all marines are not the same. It's why I didn't want these orders in the first place..."

"Well the Colonel locked up the device so I'm sure he doesn't intend on making you his pet. Besides, I'm here and I won't allow it." He promised her with a kiss on the forehead.

"I hope you're right." She nuzzled into his chest. "Drake thinks I should connect with Karrikar. It was the Vulcans that created the appliance so he figures maybe the ass knows something about my people."

"Why don't you try making amends for being such a bitch toward him at the briefing...maybe if you give him a chance."

"Right, I'm sorry I was blunt and honest about you being an asshole, can you help train the monster I become. I have a remote control you can use." she was sarcastic.

"Stop it Nyx." Kell growled at her. "You get yourself all worked up. I won't allow him to take advantage. I won't let him or anyone else abuse that power over you." He hugged her tightly. "I promise."

"I'm glad you're here."

"Come on, let's get something to eat. I replicated a couple of steaks and some salad for us." He grinned.

"Mmm, sounds heavenly." She smiled and headed to the table. "Any chocolate milk?

"No." He growled. "You've misbehaved enough today. Besides, I thought you weren't going to get drunk again, ever after the other night." He teased.

"That was on tequila. Chocolate doesn't give me a hangover." She pouted.

"It makes you just as troublesome though." He laughed at her.

She laughed. "Could be sort of fun with Karrikar though." She pretended to speak like him. "One day those Marines will be watching your back and you'll need them. HAH!" She snorted. "If he only knew how many Marine asses I've covered."

"Okay Adanyxia, enough work conversation. Eat." He ordered in a commanding voice as he tried hard not to laugh out loud. Nyx gave a solid salute from her seat and started eating causing Kell to snicker and shake his head. "You will be the death of me."
