Getting back in touch. ((for [personal profile] rogueinladysclothing))

It has been several days since Adia has been in the Nexus.

Truthfully, her visits to the Nexus this past month have been a little sparse. She spent most of her time working on her new home and processing the emotions unearthed by her time in her Nightmare, making peace with the death of her Cylon ex-boyfriend.

And then her Cylon ex-boyfriend turned out not to be dead after all. And, well...

They had a lot of catching up to do.

But she is in the Nexus now, getting Caspar a PINpoint of his own. On a whim, she decides to get herself a new PINpoint, too, something that looks less like a stopwatch and more like a smartphone. As she transfers over her contact list, she realizes with a guilty start that she hasn't been very good at staying in touch with anyone lately.

Well, no time like the present. She'll start with the first person on her list, Amelia. She's actually seen Amelia a few times in the secluded garden near the library, but they haven't done much more than exchange pleasantries. No mention of what happened at the Halloween party. Adia didn't want to poke at fresh wounds.

But untreated wounds have a bad habit of festering...

Hi, Amelia. Thanks for the books you reserved for me, I'm returning them today. Would you like to meet up somewhere? I have some news to share.

"That sounds wonderful," she agrees, escorting Adia to the door when the pizza is all packed up. She smiles at her friend and offers her hand once they're outside so she can give Adia's a small squeeze before they part. "I'll text you soon, Adia. Be well, and take care of yourself until then."

Her smile warms a little more as she releases Adia's hand and then makes her way down the Plaza. She won't text Adia like she should and instead leave the notes with a librarian for her friend, but she'll still do as she promised. But recovering takes time and Amelia's not ready to open up like she needs to. But when she is ready, they'll be able to find a new normal that works for them both.
