Watching the other people in the mess hall play childish games, La'an sighed into her cup of tea. As head of security, she found herself alone most days. She felt like she didn't have any friends, and those she had, forgot she existed.
"Can I join you?"
Looking up, La'an couldn't help but smile at Christine. "Of course."
"What's gotten you down?" Christine asked, reaching across the table and giving her hand a squeeze.
Sighing, La'an looked up into concerned blue eyes. "Nobody likes me."
"Well, I like you very much, La'an. You are the reason I smile some days."
