"Why don't you back off?" Ha'al hissed. "Birony knows who he belongs to." Ha'al cracked his knuckles. "Don't you?"
Birony stiffened but when he saw that fist he nodded and turned to Rheme. "I-it's okay."

Rhema's back stiffened. He glared at Ha'al and pulled his friend away with a "Fuck you, asshole."
Pulling Biron away, he looked at him. "Is that fucker hitting you?" he asked.

"I d-deserve it. I should do what he asks me to," he ducked his head and bit his lip. "He broke up with me and now he wants me back. I'm confused but I should go."

Rhema's fanged exploded in his mouth. "No you do not and don't you EVER let me hear you say that again, or I will beat you myself. Do you understand me?"
"No Giver has the right to put his hands on a bearer. And no Bearer deserves to be hit. That is abuse. Do you hear me? That's not healthy. If you go back to him, I don't know what I'll do, but it won't be pleasant, you understand?" he growled fiercly.

Birony nodded. "I know. I'm stupid. I just... I..." he sniffled.
Ha'al snorted. "Stop your crying and do what I said, Birony, or you'll be sorry."
"I... I'm not going with you, Ha'al."
Ha'al snorted and stook a threatening step forward, gripping his elbow.

"Touch him and I'll drain you dry, fuckface." Rhema snarled. "Discharge or no, I will murder you here tonight if you dare try to force him to do ANYTHING he doesn't want to."

Ha'al snorted and stepped forward only to have Commander Anderson yuck Ha'al back. "You're on house arrest, Ha'al. Now get to it."
"But, sir!"
"NOW!"
"As for the rest o you," he called around. "I've been hearing a lot of gossip. Let me say something to all of you. Roman Prynn is a brother in arms. His issues should not be flaunted with gossip but met with compassion. Next person I hear speak of it will deal directly with the captains of this ship." That said, he exited the room.
Birony moved to hug Rhema, "Thank you."

Rhema growled and wrapped his arms around his friend. "It was nothing. You deserve better than that scum..."

Meanwhile, Roux, Jordynn and Dr. Phelps were sitting at a table in the infirmiry with a unresponsive Roman sitting at one end. The former three were currently trying an exercise to bring Roman about into a normal state so they could treat him.
Roux and Jordynne were sitting next to him, showing him vid pictured of him and his brothers, his real best friend Dominic and even little Ruski, the latter of which was the only personw ho got him to even respond and that was a mere twitch.
"What about bringing him in here?" Roux pondered aloud to Jordynn.

"We could try that." Jordynn said, "it's all we got."
Later on, Rhema headed down to the infirmary. He still felt like this whole mess with Prynn was somehow his fault and requested to see him, so he could apologize.

Roux was bringing Ruski down as Rhema approached the door. "Junior Officer Rhema," Roux greeted him. "Anything you see when you pass this door is confidential. If I so much as hear a word of it then your military career is over, understand?"

"Understood, sir." He said, nodding. "I just...I somehow feel as if this is my fault." he said as he entered the room.

Roux shook his head. "Roman's always had emotional issues, JO. The doctor says they've just reached maturity. Right now we're trying to being him back to reality as he's in some sort of mental coma."
"Mama, can I go see Ro-ro now? Ruski asked, tugging his hand away from Roux. "Go," he told him.
Ruski went over and took Roman's hand. "Hey, Ro-ro, I'm here now. Mama says you don't to wake up because you're hurt but I'm here and I'll always protect you."
Roman's mouth twitched, his eyes blinking as they shifted to stare at Ruski.
"Mama! He moved!" Smiling, Ruski moved to hug his brother. "I knew you loved me so much and love you so much too, Ro-ro!"

Something in Rhema's heart wrenched as he saw the guy almost comatose, like that. "Oh..." he gasped.

Roux excused himself and moved over to the doctor. "This is good right? He's beginning to move. I mean it's been days of nothing so he'll get better from here, right?"
