Quiet. It was too quiet, only the soft hum of Moya, and a twirling sound of a lone DRD as it moved down the deserted corridor could be heard carrying out some duty. Chiana sat cross-legged on the strategy table looking toward the portal, but not really seeing the stars sweeping by.

She was lost. Yes, she thought to herself, she was a lost soul in a soulless universe. No one cared her scattered soul screamed, even though her heart knew that it wasn't true, but the lost of her greatest love was to overwhelming to listen to her heart. Her D'Argo was lost to her and no one thought to comforter her when she needed to be held. No one spoke a kind word. Not even her friends, the ones she thought as her family. They had each other so not even them.

Angrily she wiped a stray tear from her cheek. Climbing to her feet, eyes closed she gently swayed from side to side chanting under her breath a prayer full pain, lose and love. It's smooth, flowing rhythm, brought her no comfort.

Without her D'Argo, without her brother, or her friends, she yielded to the overpowering solitude anguish. If she disappeared at that instant, off of Moya, who would notice? Or care?

Wrapped in agony and loneliness, she didn't hear approaching footsteps, hands coming to rest on her shoulders, and worried eyes scanning her face. Opening her tear filled eyes she gazed into John's face, seeing all the concern, sadness and lose. She leaned forward, twining her arms around his neck and laid her head on own his chest.

He hugged her close kissing the top of her head. He heard her murmured. "Big girls don't cry over love. Big girls are tough and know how to handle whatever life throws at them. Big girls..." she broke off with a stifled sob.

Placing his lips close to her ears, John whispered. "Whoever sold you that line was lying. Even big guys know how to cry over love. Shed a tear for love of D'Argo. I know I will."

Pulling back, Chiana saw the stray tear traced a path down John's cheek.
