Mardel Shayron-Connor


In her quarters, Mardel stripped of her uniform and tossed it in the cleaner and then set the shower to the hottest it would go and stepped under the pounding of the shower water. Steam quickly filled the room and out into their quarters as she didn't bother to close the door. The holonanny had put the twins to bed and were on wait for when the twins stirred. The steam triggered the nanny and she moved to close the door, so the steam would stay in the bathroom. Mardel was unaware.

When all the blood had been washed away from her skin and it was brilliant green from all the scrubbing she had done with a very stiff loofah and strong soap to get the smell of blood off of her as well. She turned off the shower and, still wet and naked, went to her locked room, closed and locked the door behind her, and began a cleansing and calming ritual.

After several hours of this ritual, she cleaned up her room, left it, and locked it up again. Daniel was there. She looked at him and promised him she would be with him soon. Then went back into the bathroom and turned the shower back on, this time at a much more reasonable temperature and took a normal shower, feeling more like herself again. Using the good smelling soap and shampoo and conditioner for her hair and skin, so she would smell nice again.

She took the time to dry off this time, but didn't bother getting dressed. This was another part of her inner healing after having to kill again after so long of feeling somewhat secure in Star Fleet and now knowing that she wasn't as secure as she thought. She would have to take steps again, to be safe. But now, she had a mate she would spend some time with and further regain her equilibrium.
