Ishara was holding on to him again and Darcy didn't pull away. She kept touching him. He couldn't figure out what she was trying to convey by so casually putting her hands on him. Those thin, delicate fingers gripping his wrist felt like a threat somehow.
"You don't get to read my confidential reports," he said as if he was scolding her. "But maybe I will write one. I'll tell them you're a spy or-"
He'd been on the brink of threatening her with CAF surveillance until someone barking her name had them both separating like they'd spontaneously combusted . Or been caught standing too close at a school dance. Ishara dropped his hand and he simultaneously took a step away from her at their attention turned to the sour looking woman who approached them.
Darcy couldn't keep the amusement from his face as he witnessed the sassy redhead get scolded by her superior. An obnoxious smirk curled at one corner of his mouth as he watched Ishara curtsy for him. He nodded politely in return, back to looking the picture of a haughty general. "It was no trouble Miss O'Rourke,” he said with obvious sass.
Darcy nodded to the overseer as well and watched as both women departed. He was still smirking as he left the infirmary.
The general was not smirking when he returnedto the infirmary. In fact, his second visit was more of the involuntary sort and he was much closer to dead than he had been the previous time. It didn't take long for news of the attack to follow his arrival. As well as the admittance of several of his men after a bombing attack on one of the CAF training facilities.
Darcy was conscious as he was rushed through towards an more intensive ER wing of the hospital, but just barely. The bright lights and faces of strangers flashed by like a movie reel that wasn’t playing right. He couldn’t make out what was being said, the words jumbled to nonsense in his ears.
For a second he thought he recognized someone. A sassy redhead with a worried but determined expression. He wanted to reach out to her, but she was gone as his vision darkened and everything faded away.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
