[It takes Kyna longer than she would have liked to learn plane shift, and longer still to master it to the point that no one (read: her brother) thinks she'll accident shift to some terrible hell dimension.

And she manages it, pretty perfectly, actually, although an exhausted girl with pointed ears just appearing in a military base with no warning doesn't get her the warmest welcome.]

Hey, chill, I'm just looking for Wash.

[God, all of them are in armor. It's kind of nuts.]

[ Wash wants to tell her he missed her too. That he kept hoping she'd show up, and is sorry for the bad timing now. Until Dylan showed up and all this craziness started, he'd kept making her flowers. Just so he had the perfect bouquet when she finally appeared. But he's a little too blurry to articulate all that, and so what comes out is: ]

There are so many flowers for you on the moon.

[What Kyna doesn't really know how to articulate is that she's felt like a part of her was missing the entire time she was home, and so even though he's lying in a hospital bed making absolutely no sense, she's bursting with so much relief and affection that she just grins. He's okay, and they're together again, and everything else will work out.]

God, they really do have you on the good stuff. I don't know what that means.

[ Yeah, he's high as a kite, but it totally makes sense. He'll explain later. ]

They're not as pretty as you.

[ That's when Emily shows up, her usual chipper self even after being woken at three in the morning. She proceeds to give Wash an exam, and though he follows along with her instructions he doesn't let go of Kyna's hand the whole time he's being prodded. ]

[And Kyna is glad he doesn't. She can't help but be clingy right now. She'd be crawling into bed with him if it weren't for all the equipment he's still strapped to. For now, though, it's time to annoy Emily a little.]

He's doing okay, right?

[ Emily gives a little 'mm-hmm' of affirmation as she lowers her scanner from Wash's throat. ]

Better than I expected! He's loopy to be sure but I don't think there was any brain damage after all. Lucky again, Agent Washington.

[ And because she has to ask, seeing an uncuffed Kyna clutching Wash's hand: ]

Looks like this little lady was telling us the truth, then? You do know each other.

[ Wash's smile returns at that, gaze drifting back to Kyna. ]

Emily, this is Kyna. I missed her.

[Kyna's not sure if Wash's increased sappiness is because he's high out of his mind or because he missed her or both, but she laughs, squeezing his hand tight.]

Yeah, um... Sorry I was so... snippy.

[And maybe it's a little rude, but Kyna's attention immediately locks onto Wash again. She leans down, touching her forehead to his.]

And I'm sorry I took so long.

[ Both. It's absolutely both. He's very very high. ]

It's fine. You're here so it's fine.

[ Wash's reassurances are warm and slurred, like he's nodding off again and fighting it. Emily raises a knowing finger. ]

Yes, it's alright, Miss Kyna. I had a feeling about you. I'm rarely wrong, you know! But our soldier needs his rest, don't keep him up too long. He'll be back on his feet before you know it.

[ Maybe Wash would have agreed, but he's asleep again, his hand still clutching Kyna's. ]
