Day 341

[averytinyparticle]

[Quark had seen the markings. Of course he had. How could have missed them, the more they spread across Diana's visible skin. It concerned him, but didn't bother him, not really. That was, until he woke up on the morning of Day 341. The second he sees them on her, Quark feels a ripple of unease shudder its way through him. He crawls backwards and away from her. He...he shouldn't be so close. Why was he so close?

Normally, Quark tries to set a precedent of being chipper and polite to Diana in the morning. She deserves that much from him, after all. He knows he puts her through so much. Only this time, this time, he's quiet. When she acknowledges him, he visibly tenses.]

Just stay over there, okay?

Day 342

[averytinyparticle]

[Whatever it is that had gotten into Quark the day before, it's worse the dawn of the second day. But, worse as it is, Quark seems more willing to talk to her. Physically, he stays as wary as ever, but it's like some idea has gotten hold of him. Now, now he knows how to address this.]

Miss Diana...I think I got it!
