Havran s'Rehu - Where We Go From Here

[Sera]

((Romulan Embassy Starbase 118))

 

Havran was relieved that J'Lynn acquiesced. He wasn't a doctor, but he knew that bleeding that didn't stop was bad. And he didn't want to lose her. She'd become important to him. Something about that fire she had, the passion for her...their people.
 

They walked hand in hand to the nearest medical personnel. A part of him was nervous in doing so.

J'Lynn: Havran, do you really think the Republic and the Free State can achieve peace despite all of this?

s'Rehu: For the first time, I at least see it needs to happen, somehow.

J'Lynn: You don't think they will simply blame each other and go back to the way things were?

 

Havran let out a single breath of a laugh. Time could change many things, but not the nature of the Rihannsu.

s'Rehu: I think that may be inevitable. It's in our blood. That may even be all the common ground we have left.

J'Lynn stopped in her tracks. The slight pull at his hand seemed to urge Havran to turn and face her.

J'Lynn: We are not as different as we are led to believe.

 

Havran raised a single eyebrow, more akin to their Vulcan breathren.

s'Rehu: It would appear we are more alike than different.

Time seemed to freeze as they looked into each other's eyes. It was a moment that he couldn't define, couldn't describe. Something he'd never felt before. All he knew was that if this was all they had, he could be content.

J'Lynn rose up on her toes. Havran's lips parted slightly thinking he would tell her not to. But no words came out. She moved closer to him and gently kissed him on the cheek.

 

J'Lynn: You are a good man, Havran s'Rehu.

s'Rehu: Only because I was shown a better way by a better woman.
 

Never before in his life had he been so complimentary of another. Always taught the Rihannsu were superior to others and that among his own people, due to his bloodline, that he was superior to them. But not here. Here, he was humbled.
 

He broke the awkward silence that followed with a clearing of his throat.
 

s'Rehu: Come, let them take a look at that.
 

J'Lynn: ?

 

They had approached someone in a blue collar who seemed to be helping with those injured. Havran explained that they had not be in the embassy and that J'Lynn's injury was sustained during the rescue efforts and the medic went to work to heal the wound.

 

Havran watched silently as it was all happening. Around them various Starfleet officers were helping others. He silently admired their call to action, especially when it was those who for over two hundred years were their enemy. Their compassion was beyond anything he'd learned about the Federation. Possibilities seemed boundless.
 

s'Rehu: I've been thinking ::beat:: about what happens after all this.
 

J'Lynn: ?
 

s'Rehu: Choices need to be made, by me.
 

J'Lynn: ?
 

s'Rehu: That is one possible choice.
 

J'Lynn: ?
 

s'Rehu: Who would go back to the Free State and tell people the truth. The truth of what happened here. The truth of where we must go in the future.
 

J'Lynn: ?
