She ran her hand through his hair before letting him go to sit on his own. "The dreams never stop. Not when you lose someone you love." She then moved to go to the bathroom she was sure she looked like a reck right now.

He watches her get up and go to the bath room, the looks at Lon "I didn't want her to know I had that nightmare" he quietly says

He merely watched as Corlisa moved over to comfort Ken after the horrific dream he had, reliving the death of her first husband and his friend and companion
As she comforted Ken, it gave him time to recover mentally at what he just saw. He grabbed some tissue that lay next to him on a small coffee table and dried his eyes
He looked back to Ken as Corlisa moved off toward the bathroom. He shook his head "No, you didn't interrupt anything. We were just talking" about you, he thought
"Nightmares are natural.." he said after Ken told him that he didn't want her to know that he was having nightmares "..especially when the one that you love or is very close too dies" He walked over and sat in a chair that was near the couch. He still looked a bit pale after witnessing Ken's dream

He saw Lon shake his head "No, you didn't interrupt anything. We were just talking" Ken nods and sits up on the couch
"Nightmares are natural.." Lon said "..especially when the one that you love or is very close too dies" Lon walked over and sat in a chair that was near the couch. He looked a bit pale.
Ken knew Lon was Beatzoid "How much did you see?" he asks looking at Lon as he ran his hand over his head

He noticed Ken sat up on the couch as he walked over to sit down
He then asked him, "How much did you see"?
So he guessed he entered his mind, He nods, giving Ken a sympethic look "Enough to know how Eric died" He glanced toward the bathroom where Corlisa went, seeing she was still in there, then he returned his look back to Ken, lowing his voice "and where.." he said, thinking Ken would know what he meant
He then wondered if Corlisa was alright

Lon nods, giving him a sympethic look "Enough to know how Eric died" Lon then glanced toward the bathroom where Corlisa went, then he returned his look back to Ken, lowing his voice "and where.."
He sighs "I can't tell her were he died, I could do nothing but watch him die" he says "How could she keep loving me when I did nothing?" he says in a low voice

He sighs "I can't tell her where he died. I could do nothing but watch him die. How could she keep loving me when I did nothing?" he says in a low voice
He thought for a moment before he spoke 'From what I saw, you did all you could. The ship was already badly damaged. I'm surprised that there were any survivors at all" He said frankly "but I am glad that they were. Iam sure Corlisa would have been crushed to lose both of you"

Lon said "From what I saw, you did all you could. The ship was already badly damaged. I'm surprised that there were any survivors at all" "but I am glad that they were. I am sure Corlisa would have been crushed to lose both of you"
He looked at Lon "Yes she would have been crushed, I'm not sure she would have made it if she lost us both" he says and looks toward the bathroom seeing she was still in their "I did my best to help her through that loss, I think I did well" he says with a sigh

He listened to Ken as he spoke, keeping a mental eye out for Corlisa. he was concerned for her as he is for Ken
"Yes she would have been crushed, I'm not sure she would have made it if she lost us both" he says, looking toward the bathroom, seeing if she was still there "I did my best to help her through that loss, I think I did well"
He nodded "If you did what you could for Eric then his death was not in vain. He died in battle defending the ship against your attackers. He would not want you, or Corlisa, to mourn his death for the rest of your life, would he?
It seems you and Corlisa have helped each other through the crisis of Eric's death but nobody heals fully from a loved one's death. All you can do is comfort each other when one of you has a low and needs comfort"

"If you did what you could for Eric then his death was not in vain. He died in battle defending the ship against your attackers. He would not want you, or Corlisa, to mourn his death for the rest of your life, would he?" Lon says and asks
"No Eric would want us to be happy" Ken smiles remembering Eric
"It seems you and Corlisa have helped each other through the crisis of Eric's death but nobody heals fully from a loved one's death. All you can do is comfort each other when one of you has a low and needs comfort" Lon then says
"This is true, Thank you Lon" Ken shakes his head "Now if I could just get over these nightmares" he says, then he laughs and looks at the Bathroom "Did you fall in Honey?"

"No, Eric would want us to be happy" Ken asnswered his first question with a smile
Then I would make Corlisa as happy as you could. You can't do that trying to beat yourself up for letting Eric die. You did what you could. That's all that should matter"
"Now if I could just get over these nightmares" he says, then laughs, looking toward the Bathroom "Did you fall in Honey?"
He was about to tell him that the nightmares will lessen when he comes to the realization that it wasn't his fault that he died but then he called toward the bathroom. He got up and headed that way himself "I'll see if she is alright"
He went into the other room and knocked on the bathroom door "Corlisa, dear. Are you alright?" he asked curious and concerned

She called out, "Yes I'm find."
She then flushed the tolit and washed her hands. Comming out shortly after that.
"Just needed to regroup. I don't like seeing Ken like that. When he wakes up from his nightmares. Ever sence Ken came back and Eric didn't he's been having them and everytime he's in a new place it gets worse. I don't know what else to do but to comfort him and then when he's fine go to the bathroom and hide my reaction to it all. I wish he would stop blaming himself for Eric's death."
She huged Lon.
"I think you're going to do him great good by being there for him. Something tells me that he doesn't want to tell me something but will be willing to tell you."

She called out that she was fine. From his empathic impressions, she wasn't as fine as she pretended to be. She was shaken by Ken's nightmare. He heard the toilet flushing and then she emerged from the bathroom
"Just needed to regroup. I don't like seeing Ken like that. When he wakes up from his nightmares. Ever since Ken came back and Eric didn't he's been having them and every time he's in a new place it gets worse. I don't know what else to do but to comfort him and then when he's fine go to the bathroom and hide my reaction to it all. I wish he would stop blaming himself for Eric's death."
She hugged him and he hugged her back, rubbing her back in a comforting way, noting how good her body felt against him but then he pushed that thought from his mind for the moment "That's all you can do is comfort him when he has those nightmares and he should comfort you when you are shaken by it. He doesn't know how you feel when you hide in the bathroom. Unlike us, he doesn't have empathic senses and he can't read your mind. I have spoken with him and I believe I have helped him see that it wasn't his fault for Eric's death. Nothing could have prevented it, nothing short of not being on the ship"
"I think you're going to do him great good by being there for him. Something tells me that he doesn't want to tell me something but will be willing to tell you."
He smiled at that "I'll be here for you both. If one of you need to talk to me, whether one on one or all three of us as a group. I'll be here for the both of you"

He sees Corlisa come out of the Bathroom she then quietly talks to Lon then Hugs him as they talk.
Ken sits on the couch and smiles at them as he thinks about what Lon said, the more he thinks about the more realizes he did all he could in that situation
He looks back at Corlisa and Lon as he wipes a tear away "Honey can you come sit by me theirs something I need to tell you, you come and sit by me to Lon" he says

She saw Ken on the couch and when he asked her to come sit by him she noded. "I'll be right there love." She went over to the replicator and got a glass of water. She then came to sit by him giving the glass. "Here that will help your body rehydrate itself from being upset." She then huged onto him before waiting for Lon to join them.
