(some weird JayxTim dialogue)
“Everyone I love dies.”
“Yeah, I heard about that. Starting with mommy dearest and running all the way through to Daddy Bats.”
“No.”
“No?”
“It didn’t start with my mother… it started with you.”

(a tiny drabble from my original sci-fi story, Triptych)
Westerly breathes and internally recites the ten principles of diplomacy in an attempt to stay calm.
It’s not working.
In two minutes, eight of hir clan members will be brought aboard the station and ze has been assigned to their party. Until they’re escorted to Huaqu. At which point Westerly will be expected to join them.
Ze hasn’t been to hir home-planet in six years.
But this is an honor, surely. To be trusted with such an important mission even though ze is only junior operative. Likely due to hir training in diplomacy… and the fact that ze is the only geshou in the station. In all of SPAN, actually.
There’s a reason why ze is the first geshou to join SPAN and it wasn’t to go back to Huaqu!
Westerly breathes and waits.

A/N: Sorry, at my sister’s place, couldn’t really focus on anything without a family member or a dog demanding my attention.
