Headaches

[elizabethdehner]

The headaches have been getting more and more severe as time went in. She was starting to feel like she was never going to get relief from it. Without the ability to tell anyone about the condition she was in, she wouldn't find a cute or at least a way to deal with the changes. And maybe if they could work on it the headaches might stop

There is something serious going on with Liz, and no matter how Solin researches or what questions he asks her, he can't figure out what. It's a complete mystery, and it's not even the fun kind of mystery, because it's someone whose well-being he cares about, and her health is clearly suffering.

It was bad enough when it was just the occasional headaches, but now it's affecting her social habits as well--she seems to be getting more reclusive, which just isn't right for someone who's as outgoing as she is. That's what concerns him more than anything. That has to be a sign of something deeply wrong, and though he keeps trying and trying to avoid this particular conclusion, the evidence of the situation points to some severe, perhaps even terminal illness on her part. And she won't tell him, or seek help, no matter how he urges and persuades

It's too late to take back the wince. He certainly has figured it out and she realizes how stupid it had been to think she could handle this in front of him. It's worse when she looks up and sees that familiar, stern look on her friend's face. He can see it. He's been watching her every move every chance he can. She tries her best to straighten herself up, but she knows she won't make it in here much longer.

"It certainly doesn't feel good," she answers sarcastically. She doesn't know if there is a better way to go about this but perhaps it's time to leave. "I can't eat anymore. I have some work to get caught up on." The lie is transparent. She needs an excuse to get out of this room with this many minds. She stands, taking her tray to clear her place, but she stops when she feels slightly lightheaded and sits down again.

He hates being lied to. Not that anyone likes it, but straightforwardness is important to Solin, and she's hurting herself more than she's hurting him. She's lying to him just so that she can keep on jeopardizing her own health, and it doesn't make sense to him. She's avoiding him when he only wants to help.

He doesn't understand why she's leaving so abruptly, unless perhaps she's angry at him for prying, but if she is, that's too bad, because he's going to pursue her anyway. He gets up to follow, meaning to argue some more, but when she sits down with what looks like a rush of dizziness, his concern grows sharply more severe.

"Doctor, you are obviously unwell. Your judgment regarding your own health is clearly compromised. I will be escorting you to sickbay." There will be no argument. He'll carry her, if he has to.

"You will do no such thing," she replies sternly to him, prepared now for that lightheaded feeling. She stands again, clearing her place and starts to exit. She hopes he doesn't have the gall to follow her but she's almost certain he will. She walks briskly through the halls, finding the first off shoot where there are less people and turns only to lean against the wall there. If no one can see her for a few minutes she can pull herself together. She won't take long and then all it will be is as if she's tired. She can disappear and not talk about this

Her telepathy is her secret. She doesn't want anyone to know and she doesn't want to burden him.
