thick shoulders and stroke the crown of his head instead.
"It's not your fault," he reassured her. "And honestly, part of my job was
going to new and unfamiliar places. Admittedly not like this, but it's not
something I'm entirely unused to."
But it did hurt. It was painful, knowing he might never go home. That the
Enterprise would travel without him, that his crew would never find him, he
would never see them again. He didn't like to think like that, but some
days he couldn't help it. He tried not to let it show though, or to think
to much about it.
"Besides, I'm getting to meet a lot of interesting people and learn a lot
of interesting things, so it's not all bad. Like getting to meet you, boy,"
he grinned at the dog, scratching a bit harder and slapping his shoulder
playfully.
