[ a lot has happened lately, a lot of things distracting deanna, both good and bad. it's kept her mind of the hole she's been feeling, the emptiness that was once filled by someone very important. her anchor, her rock... she could no longer sense him. at first, she had thought he had merely spent a lot of time outside her limited range here, or that her empathic abilities had been one again dampened. but she soon realized that they were working with everyone else... just not with him.
and so she had thrown herself into her work, barely noticed much aside from trying to deal with nathan and his situation. today had marked another step with that as well and she found it all exhausting. it was god work, though, and she wanted to keep working with nathan. she wasn't yet willing to give up on him.
with all of those thoughts swirling around in her mind, it was little wonder that she was up this night, little wonder that she had a cup of tea brewing and was sitting at the kitchen table to wait for it. she was also staring at the table, as though it might hold the answers she needed, the comfort that she sought. living with two androids, she should have expected at least one of them to be up and about, to notice that she's still awake. but for once, she is too lost in thought.
