Drabble-challenge on the Cohort’s Board to write a short of 100-words or less

Silence

by GitonCrais

~You should rest, Crais~

"How can I?"

~The others are resting!~

"No, they are not... They are recreating... Emptying the larder... Driving me insane..."

~You're getting upset~

"I AM upset!"

Silence.

=============

~Do you regret taking them on board?~

"There was no choice."

~No, there wasn't~

~You have been alone too long~

"I prefer that."

~It's not good for you~

"I like peace and quiet."

~It is too quiet~

"No, it isn't. I like it."

~Maybe...~

"I'm trying to rest!"

~Then why are you pacing?~

"It calms me."

~No, it doesn't~

"Shut up, Talyn!"

The transponder is out.

Silence, at last.
