Returning the blade
Mar 6^th, 2006, 5:08pm

Hefting the betleH that security had returned to her after their release Jackie made her way over to K'Hare's quarters. She ignored the security personnel keeping an eye on her as she rang the chime to the Klingon's quarters. She wasn't sure what she was going to say, she wasn't sure how she was going to say it, but she'd figure it out eventually she guessed.

Swinging the blade around and switching it into her second hand, the Caitian waited for an answer.

As the door slid open, Jackie wasn't too surprised to see no one at the door directly. With a curt shake of her head, the Caitian stepped inside. She found the Klingon in his room, nursing a drink. Taking in a breath she approached him, the betleH at one side.

"K'Hare." she spoke, her tone softer than usual. "Just dropping in to return the betleH..." she said, but the phrase was left unfinished, Jackie decided not to mention she was also here to check up on the Klingon after all that has transpired.

She placed the blade on the table as gently as she could before grabbing a chair and taking a set across from the Klingon thus signifying she wasn't going to leave quickly unless he wished otherwise. But she thought he could use some company at least for a while to help him through the difficult moments, even if he probably wouldn't like the help. Jackie wasn't about to abandon those she fought side by side with just hours ago.

If you ever visit KDB I will introduce you to the one who forged it." The Klingon seemed flat. Not exactly defeated, but world-weary.

Jackie's ears flickered lightly, not at the words he'd said, but how he'd said them. She didn't need to ask him how he was doing, she knew the answer to the question herself.

Letting out a small sigh, Jackie closed her eyes for a moment before she said anything else. The silence lasted longer than it needed to. She knew she should probably leave and let him be, but a part of her couldn't do that.

"It.. ah...... No, I just did what I had to do" she spoke.

"Mind if I...." she pointed at the bloodwine, silently asking the question before she would say anything else. Maybe the bloodwine would loosen her up some mentally and she'd choose the right words to express herself. How would she explain it that once she's had a chance to fight with him side by side, to her that was more than enough trust between people, and once she'd fought side by side with someone, both parties likely baking eachother up, if not saving eachother's tails, trusting eachother's lives to eachother; she owed it to them to make sure that after all was over, she'd still be there for them if needed.

Jackie got up and filled up a tankard from the barrel then made her way back

"Now why do you say that?" she asked as she settled back down and took a gulp of the bloodwine. She winced as she realised what the words were that left her mouth. 'stupid, Jackie..stupid' she thought, but there was nothing she could do to take back the words.

He stood up and took a drink, starting to pace. "Last year at this time I gained family, this year I lose it. That's growth I suppose." He took another drink.

Jackie watched him pace, idly fiddling with her drink as he spoke. She found herself nodding in agreement to what he said.

"but it doesn't mean that you should stop living." She said, her tone quieter than usual. "I don't think she would've wanted you to " she added.

She wasn't sure what was going through his mind. Was he blaming himself for Q'olarvaH's death somewhow? Jackie was aware she had to tred carefully sicne she wasn't aware of all the intricacies and details of the situation, nor was she sure if it was her place to know these things. She took a deep gulp of the bloodwine blinking away at a number of emotions threatening to overwhelm her.

"but it is a risk we all take. with family, friends, crewmembers... you can lose it all in the blink of an eye." she said. "You have it today and tomorrow it's...." she trailed off, looking at her tankard which was ironically empty. "gone..." She got up to refill it.

"Are there any suspects over who did this?" she asked quetely. "If I can aid in the investigation I shall" she said, she shook her head lightly. "if I can aid you in any way , I shall as well" she added firmly.

K'Hare almost laughed despite his foul mood. "I am Klingon. Death is not bad news... tough I admit to feeling the loss ..." He took a drink. "It would help to know she died well and it would help to know who would do such a thing without showing their face... but I know, without knowing, that she fought honorably even if her enemy didn't.: He took another drink. "It is just much to process at once and without warning. If there had been a battle and both Wade and Q'olavraH had died fighting in front of me, I would sing the glory of their death. At least with Wade he died saving hundreds." He tried to take another drink and realized he was empty. "But I can't help thinking that if I hadn't been distracted, thinking of the dishonorable attack on Q'olavraH that I might have seen the bomb, I might have been able to stop it or I might have been the one to handle it." He looked at her, the fire just starting to return to his eyes. "This enemy will pay for that."

"Don't think about what you might've done, think about what you would do." She met his gaze, her eyes narrowing as the Caitian's own eyes radiated with fire at his last words. "Only an enemy without honor refuses to show himself in battle. I'll do what I can to help you find her enemy. It's the least I can do after...everything that has... happened" she spoke raising her tankard slightly before taking a gulp of the bloodwine.

"I ... appreciate ... the support and if I think of something that you would be particularly suited for, I will call on you." Refilling the keg he added, "I have to believe that this enemy stayed hidden because he knew the forces that would marshall together after his act."

Jackie noted, "there's no way to look through all the security logs to try to find anything suspicious, well there is but it'll take a lot of time. We dont' really have many leads to go on. not that I know the details of that" she admitted, "but considering things... have you got any particular suspects?" she asked.

Jackie nodded.

"Any particular ones that stand out more than the rest?" she clarified. "I can try crosschecking all the base crew compliment and visitors with databases to see if it brings up anything....hinky in terms of suspects" she said. "I mean not like I'll get to go far off the base with.. an investigation pending into what happened with us anyway" she threw a glance at the betleH she brought still lying on the table, picking up her tankard she took a gulp of the bloodwine. "Might as well be useful to someone" she added
