ILIANA'S POV
--
I'm shaken awake, the movements soft and light fingers curl around the edge of my shoulder. My gaze meets the woman's as she's balancing on her haunches, inspecting me like I'm ill, "It's over, you can go sleep in your own bed now," her soft smile is reassuring, and I stand with ease, the ship isn't being tossed around like it weighs nothing, and everything feels calm. My gaze flicks over the hall, and most of the people have cleared out, which includes Drystan. Wait. Was I intentionally looking for him? "Your partner left to go see the on board Doctor," she reassures me like she could see the distress I feel, and I nod, getting up, "He's not my partner." I clarify, handing her back the two towels I used and she graciously takes them before moving on to the next person.
