The Loch was as beautiful as Aeryn remembered it, as she reached her final destination for tonight's hike. It might be nighttime on the ship, but the scenery before her told a different story as the redhead navigated the thistle bushes, and sat down in a spot that was all too familiar. She had come here often during her vacation days from the Academy, or while recuperating from her injuries and grief before joining Artemis, and just like the rest of the programme, it held special meaning to the woman who had once felt lost, and cast adrift.
Aeryn knew she wasn't her anymore, but it didn't hurt to be reminded of that occasionally, especially during moments of uncertainty. She had quite frankly been on quite a journey, one that had changed direction many times, yet she had grown from it, and had learned to trust the process.
This was also a place that allowed Aeryn to visualize happier times. She was aware that her decisions were just as important to other people and vowed to continue being more open when appropriate rather than shutting that part of her brain off. It wasn't healthy, and Aeryn recognised that, which further proved her growth from a broken woman to someone valued and trusted.
Aeryn didn't know how long she sat there, until the sun began to set, signalling that it was time for her to return to her quarters, to hopefully sleep, because this felt like a victory as opposed to defeating the purpose of why she had come here.
Summoning the arch, Aeryn then got to her feet and exited the holodeck, turning off the programme as she left, before heading to the nearest lift.
