A brief silence seemed to hang in the air after Aeryn had finished speaking, before Mara sighed and lowered her now empty ramen bowl and locked her gaze onto Beka. When the Bandaran spoke, it was quiet but still got what she wanted to say across, and Aeryn realised that both women had needed to get this off their conscience for a long time.
However, again it seemed positive as Beka sighed again, and offered the proverbial olive branch to her girlfriend, seeing how the COS' gaze softened as she finished speaking, willing to start again as Aeryn had suggested. Now it was up to Beka, and Aeryn had felt the gentle squeeze of the Doctor's hand in hers, while she listened to what Mara had to say. Coming to her defence had been easy to do, and Aeryn would have done the same for her former security colleague.
Aeryn then smiled as Beka also apologised, finally getting to say the thank you, that hadn't been said before. Her girlfriend even went so far as letting go of Aeryn's hand in an attempt to hug Mara, and Aeryn's breath seemed to pause as they collectively awaited Mara's reaction to the physical contact. The Commander had never known or seen Mara hug anyone during their time on and off duty, so she was pleasantly surprised when she accepted the hug, if a little awkwardly.
Mara then brought closure to the past, resulting in Beka mumbling something before Mara turned her attention to her former boss.
" It's perfect and agreed it is a start".
