Downtime (2)

"Haaaaaaaaaa…"

Letting out a long and exhausted sounding sigh for the nth time while staring out into empty space, Ke finally prompted one of her friends who had been observing her strange behaviour for the last few days to speak out.

"Ke? Are you really sure you're okay?"

"... Okay? Yeah, I'm fine… Haaaaaaaaaaaa…"

Answering entirely absent mindedly before letting out another long sigh, even Dax would be able to notice that she was feeling down, bordering on outright depressed over something, and it really could only be about one thing.

"Did that man which caught your eye shoot you down?"

"Eh? Ah, Dax? No, he didn't… There's really nothing wrong, so don't mind me… Haaaaaaa…"

Ever since Ke had talked with Ra, her mind had been a mess. Sure, learning so much about Dax and even getting approval to pursue him from his sisters was something she had dreamed about, but she had also learned more than she wanted.
