Tayalas was bored. Bored, bored, bored. And mommy was sleeping, no cure for boredom there. She needed to do something, anything, besides sit there and be bored, she had it! Mrs. Blankeyship would keep her company! Crawling into mommy's bed she said, "Mommy, I go see Mrs. Blankeyship, okay?"

"Aright, love, go see Mrs. Blankeyship." She muttered, still mostly asleep, "She loves ya, she'll want ya compnee."

"Yay!" Tayalas said, significantly muted from her usual so as not to disturb her mother, and slid out of the bed en route to the Blankenship quarters.

She stepped into the lift and and answered the computer man when he asked, "State destination."

Tayalas thought for a minute, not remembering where the quarters were, but knew the computer man would know, so she merely said, "Mrs. Blankeyship!" The lift shuddered and came to life, depositing her at the deck where Mrs. Blankeyship lived, she exited and turned to the computer man and said, "Tank oo." Within minutes she was outside of a place she knew well, and knocked on the door with her little blue hand, "Mrs. Blankeyship! I's me, Yalas!"

Inside Eleanor Blankenship was in a perfect, dreamless sleep, when a little blue bunny at her door woke her, "Tayalas?" No, couldn't be, she determined and rolled back over when another knock and more insistence that it was her woke her, "That's Tayalas. alright." She put on her robe and her fuzzies and walked to the door and opened it, admitting the blue toddler, "Tayalas, hi! Your mommy knows your hear, right?"

"Yes, Mrs. Blankeyship, she knows." Tayalas said, telling the truth as far as she knew it, and hugging Mrs. Blankeyship as tightly as she could, she'd missed her almost as much as she missed Kara.

"Well, let's get you in here then." Mrs. Blankenship said and stood aside to let her enter, "We should probably get you something warm. It's always cold on this ship for some reason."

"Yeah." Tayalas answered and hugged herself, "Cold."

"The fact that you're an Andorian and can feel it tells me it's not just me being an old woman. That's good to know, darling." She smiled, turning to the stove where she would prepare something for her little blue bunny who she loved so dearly, "Well, let's start you with some hot choccy, shall we?"

"Yay! Hot choccy!" Tayalas squealed, thrilled beyond words when Mrs. Blankeyship said hot choccy, it was her favorite thing to consume.

"Hot choccy and chickey nuggies would be just the thing I'd think." She commented, putting the nuggies into the replicator, "Eleanor B-36." She said, and it carried out her command, making the hot treat in under two minutes, "Whatever did we do before replicators?" She said aloud to no one in particular.

"I dunno." Tayalas answered, she'd never been without replicators in her life, as far as she knew nobody had.

Mrs. Blankeyship set out a tray of nuggets for them and smiled, "There you are, dear, dig in."

"Yay!" Tayalas laughed, nuggies were good, but seeing Mrs. Blankeyship was even better.
