Nic seemed a little confused. "... You want to take a break for awhile?" he asked, trying to figure out what she was talking about.

"Well if you're too tired..." Laurel said quietly, pushing her food around her plate.

Nic still seemed a little lost. "I'm fine with the way things are," he finally explained after another minute or two.

Laurel looked up at Nic for a moment before blushing and looking back at the food, "... Okay."

"... Do you want things to change?" he asked after another minute.

Laurel shook her head, still blushing.

"... Alright," Nic replied, wondering what Laurel's point had been.

Laurel remained blushing.

Over the next few days, Frei was unconscious for the first day and then very weak for the remaining two, acting like she was hungover. She didn't get around to seeing Fin.

Wolfe checked on Long and Frei, also disappearing into the control room with Snow. Long was slowly healing up with the help of the medication.

Laurel kept dancing and training with Snow. She also tried to eat as many meals as possible with Nic, just enjoying his company.

James continued to hover around Yue, so much so, he really didn't even meet many other people. He tried to get her out a bit, to watch another sunset or jet ski.

Raven checked up on Frei every now and then, but took the extra time to keep up with what was going back on at the farm.

Nic kept getting back in shape and did pretty much whatever Laurel wanted with the exception of holding a conversation about Fin.

Fin continued to chill in the Juttle. He got a little depressed that Frei wasn't visiting him anymore.

Yue didn't mind James hanging around. By the last day though she started pushing for some more time to socialize with other people.

Wolfe called NIc and Yue into another meeting. James heeded Yue's push and disappeared for awhile.

Finally Frei went to see Fin, walking inside like nothing had happened.

Nic and Yue went to talk with Wolfe.

Fin jumped up when he saw Frei, very happy she had come. "How have you been?" he asked.

Wolfe sat down, "I'm going cut back on Long's medications soon so we need to come to a decision."

Frei seemed to think about that for a moment, "... Don't know," she decided as she took a seat.

Both of them were silent.

"... You don't know?" Fin asked.

Wolfe raised an eyebrow.

Frei shrugged.

"... Well, Sheng hasn't tried to find him yet," Yue noted quietly.

Fin blinked at her. "... Like you don't remember?"

Wolfe nodded a little before looking at Yue, "How certain are you that it was an inside job?"

Frei thought about that some more before nodding slightly and looking around.
