Raffi hummed softly, unaware of the conflict she was invoking in the xB. Raffi’s warm hand felt good against her wrist but the closeness and intimacy of the gesture was making Seven increasingly self conscious. Such slow, caring hands and soft words from a stranger. Her mind trailing off to being cautiously handcuffed before their Freecloud mission. The xB’s eyes strayed to the hand around her wrist. Seven shifted uncomfortably, it had been a long time since she was this close to anyone, especially someone like Raffi. The Rangers were more of a ‘patch yourself up on the move’ group, Seven mused.
Both of them held still, as the gentle hum from the dermal regenerator filled the silence between them. Soft curls fell forward, inches from Seven’s face. Raffi was kneeling, bent over to inspect her work. Seven sat, caught, feeling her own pulse flutter under Raffi’s firm grip. “Hold still.” Raffi said, tightening her grip on Seven’s wrist, running the regenerator smoothly, steadily through the air above the open skin. Seven tried to pull her hand away, to stop from further ruining the clothing. Blood dripped onto Raffi’s trouser leg, sinking into the coarse fabric, staining it. Carefully cradling the injured hand she turned it over to get a better look at the damage. She plucked the dermal regenerator out of Seven’s mouth and knelt down beside her. “Oh, I don’t doubt it.” Raffi said warmly, she held her arms up in surrender, “But honey, you don’t have to do it by yourself.” Blood seeped steadily out of the cut, running down over her wrist. She placed the dermal regenerator between her teeth, the metal fingertips of her left hand pressing together the open wound on her right. Seven was sitting, back pressed up against the wrecked bulkhead of the crashed Borg Cube, cradling her hand. “Stop fussing and let me help you!” Raffi pleaded, exasperated.
