The Witness

Summary:

Yes, she remembers the Emissary and his Companion.

Notes:

To: Lenn

As you are no doubt now aware, this drabble was written for you as a gift in the Siskoshir discord server's secret santa - a celebration of the server's first birthday. When it was revealed to me that I was to write a gift for you, it took me some time to figure out what to write. Yours is an intelligence that I have always admired, and to be quite honest I was the slightest bit intimidated when presented with this task. So I was rather pleased when you provided the solution yourself in the form of a prompt list you posted on Tumblr. I imagined that there is no better gift for a creative than to see someone be inspired by one's own ideas, so I proceeded apace and wrote this little drabble based on the prompt 'From the outside (account of relationship must come exclusively from uninvolved external witness)'.

I do hope you like it.

Work Text:

Kira Nerys watched the wind caress the grass with the same fingers that brushed her greying hair. 

“I’ll admit, it was a surprise,” she said. 

The young vedek frowned. “Because the Emissary’s companion wasn’t a Bajoran?”

“Because the Emissary’s companion was Julian .”

“Was that so strange?”

She shook her head. “I couldn’t see it then, but I can now.”

“See what?”

Kira lowered her gaze. “They’d both been so lonely for so long. They found each other because they needed to, and I was happy for them.” A tear, then, for friends now passed. “I’ll always be happy for them.”
