[i]Juniper stared blankly ahead at a wall as Taylor, the med robot, pushed her shoulder back into place. It hurt a hell of a lot, but she tried to keep her mind elsewhere. Once her shoulder was fixed, she was administered some low dose pain killers, and she laid herself down on one of the two beds. Within moments she was asleep and curled up on her side. She didn't stir at all as Taylor pulled a blanket up over her. This was the first time besides sleeping the night prior, she had been completely alone. Her sleep would soon be interrupted though, as Mac and Emmett walked into the bay. She didn't wake up immediately, though subconsciously heard them arrive.

A short while later she was fully awake, though kept her eyes closed. She felt vulnerable laying down and was unsure who else might be in the room. There was no speaking between Mac and Emmett, and Juniper controlled her breathing steadily. A few minutes went by and she heard more foot steps, and Ursa's voice. 

[color=00746b]"Like I said, we were on Theonia Z17 for supplies, didn't find anyone alive, and left."[/color] She heard Ursa pause for a moment, then continue speaking, this time to Mac with a lowered voice. [color=00746b]"He's a cop. But we've come to a mutual understanding, so let him be... But watch him, just in case."[/color]

Juniper's attention was immediately caught by the name of her home planet. She felt angry remembering what had happened, and wanted to sit up and speak her thoughts to Ursa. But she knew it would be a bad idea, considering Ursa had obviously been talking to someone she hadn't met yet. And she did say he was a cop. Juniper continued laying where she was and simply listened for a while, letting her anger subside slowly. Ursa spoke again, this time regarding Emmett. 

[color=00746b]"He's the one you'll want to speak to about Bob."[/color] Her voice was matter of fact, and once Ursa was done speaking Juniper could hear Taylor move over to Ursa. Ursa sat down on the other bed and Taylor began to work on fixing up her injuries, of which she had many. Finally once Juniper felt comfortable enough, she slowly sat up, pretending to wake up in that moment. Her short black hair was slightly messy, but the look still suited her small features. She gazed around the room, recognizing everyone except for a cowboy. He must be the cop Ursa was talking about. He had a cowboy hat on, and was dressed in a leather jacket with leather boots to match. His clothing fit his body well. Juniper finally took in his face. his hair was brown beneath the hat, and he had a five o'clock shadow, his jaw line prominent. She couldn't help but appreciate his looks, then she shifted so her legs dangled off the bed, and she stood up slowly. 

Juniper's white petal dress stuck out like a sore thumb in the room of people clad in normal clothing, and she walked toward Ursa. [color=f6989d]"Are you okay, miss Ursa?"[/color] she asked her. Juniper's voice had an accent similar to an Earth's English one, though there was an undertone to it that one might not be able to place, depending on the person. She decided to keep the fact she was from Theonia Z17 a secret from the newcomer unless someone brought it up. [/i]
