Mira sat at her desk watching Zimia play with Vaytoc. "Mira, what's this?" Zimia put her hand on the chest, sitting up against the bed.
"That would be all the things I left behind. When I left the cargo ship, I served on before I joined, Starfleet. Thor kept it for me." She hadn't had time to look at since they got back from Greenland.

"Can I go through it?" Zimia asked.

"I don't see why not, but be careful there might be a few blades. Don't cut yourself."

Zimia opened it up. "Oh wow."

Mira looked back in surprise it was full of gifts, blades, hatchets, fur, and leather arm guards. "These are beautiful." she pulled out a photo of the old crew with a smile.

Zimia looked over. "Oh my, who is that guy with his arm around you!"

Mira sighed. "That would be Taman. The ship's bad boy. I had a huge crush on him. " she put the photo on the shelf. "He talked me into leaving the ship and working on Risa, his home world, with him. " Mira shrugged. "He ended up being a total Risan male. They are not someone you can give your heart to."

Mira looked at her hair in the mirror and frowned, taking a hair tie she put it up in a bun.
"Don't be upset, Mira, it will grow." Zimia told her.

"Yea, I know," Mira mumbled. "I need a run."

"Mira, do you have any wedding photos?" Zimia asked.

Mira frowned over her shoulder at Zimia "No"
That surprise Zimia "Why?"

Mira closed the lid on the chest, getting annoyed. Zimia always asked questions about whatever entered her mind with little to no filter. "That's painful, Zim. Kolar and I never got the chance. Every time we tried, something would happen. I don't want to talk about it, ok?"

Zimia nodded quickly. "Sorry. Your hair was a promise to him, wasn't it. But he didn't live up to his promises either. It's been four years. If you want to change it, you should."

Mira frowned, trying to keep up with Zimia's thoughts, and she didn't like where it was going.
"Zim, why do you think he didn't live up to his promises?"

"He put you in a medical shuttle injured and unconscious then left you to defend yourself while you were on the ship. Then, when you were on that planet." Zimia told her. "He didn't have to go fight he could have stayed with you, but fighting was more important."

Mira closes her eyes for a moment "Zimia please don't bring this subject up again. You said your peace no more, ok?"

Zimia nodded. "Ok, Mira."

"I need that run now." Mira told her, leaving she started running on the decks. It wasn't as good as the larger ships or bases, but it was all she had right now.
