He was expecting worse than a glorified slap on the wrist. His assets were frozen, he had the biggest black mark on his shiny golden record and all he really had to show for it was the silver bracelet that marked him a traitor.

At least, he was fairly certain that was the case, he had a certain someone he had to check in on first. He was hoping they'd left her alone and (rightfully) assumed she had nothing to do with it, but he and Garak had been missing for nearly a week so who knew what the capitol might have resorted to.

Once he got to the tower, he didn't stop anywhere until his feet were on the third floor, not even his own room to change clothes first. He went right up to Jessica's room and knocked on the door, looking disheveled, unshaven, dirty and generally worse for wear, but uninjured. Which was a lot more than could be said for some of those who'd been with him.

Mad as she was, she couldn't help but let out a soft, giddy sound as his lips brushed against hers. Scared as she was by what he'd done and by her own reaction to it, she felt utterly content in his arms, like his kisses might take away all the worry and all the pain. It was nice to imagine that, at least. So nice. So sweet.

"I'll have to work double for you," she said at last, sighing as she laid her head on his shoulder. Slowly, she looked up at him, blue eyes batting a little. "If you're in trouble still, you can't get any sponsors you know. And what'll happen to your tributes then, hmm?"
