The talk with Leahcim and a satisfying meal was enough to calm Markka’s nerves. She slipped into a restful sleep free of any trepidations about their current assignment.
The next morning, Cora gently woke the lieutenant with a soothing wake-up tone of melodic chimes reminiscent of those often heard on Markka’s homeworld.
“Good morning, lieutenant. Did you sleep well?”
After a few pensive seconds, Markka said, “Yes I did. Thanks for asking.”
“You are welcome.”
Markka was surprised she felt none of the apprehensions she had before her talk with Leahcim. Maybe he was right. Her fear was unfounded.

But I suspect Markka’s fear was very far from unfounded🥴
