Working carefully, he is finally able to get the brace off of her.
"There. That should give you some kind of relief."
He chuckled a bit as he said that, trying to be good-natured for her benefit.
"I would like to think someone can make a support device that's not so complicated and unwieldy.."
Setting the brace aside, he would then come back over to her.

She started taking off her duty coat and top when he came back to her. " They probally do but this is the one that helps me the most since my back will not correct itself." She quickly placed her night cloths on after she stripted out of the uniform taking her undergarmets off once the top was on her putting them with her duty uniform. "Ever since I was a little girl I got taught how to be modist when around another person. If you need to put on your night cloths on then I'll close my eyes so you can or do whatever would make you comfortable to change. I do not think I'll sleep in my brace tonight as it bothers you."

He would nod slowly, as he would go to take off his uniform jacket, after setting his com badge on one of the dressers.
"It's not necessarily that it bothers me, but at the same time, I want both of us to be comfortable."
Waiting until her eyes were closed, he would change into something like shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, which he used for sleeping attire.

She saw him taking off his uniform jacket and closed her eyes as agreeded so to keep modisty amongst them.
I would be more comfortable feeling your arms wrapted about me then to have the brace on me tonight. As the brace really isn't nessary for me to wear. The Doctor's told me that I could go without it a while back just I haven't had a reason not to. Now I do.
After a while of having her eyes closed she put her hand up to her eyes because it was getting difficult to keep them close.
I can feel you moving around and am anxious to see what you got in mind to sleep in. Not to mention anxious to see you again.

He could not hold back the urge to laugh at her remark, as he finished getting dressed.
"Okay. Just a sec.."
He finishes adjusting things, and turned back toward her.
"Okay. You can open your eyes."

She opened her eyes to see him in his shirt and shorts. Smiling she spoke,
Didn't think you could be more handsome then you were in uniform till now.
Her smile became a bit of a blush as she stood their taking him in with her eyes. Resisting the urge to go over and just kiss him all over.
If you would like to help I would like to be out of the brace now so you can hold me if you wish to without fearing hurting me.

A slight smile was evident on his face, but on the inside, he had burst out laughing at what he perceived was an urge to just dive-bomb tackle him.
Nodding at her remark about the brace, he comes over and checks on the rest of the brace, to get any other braces off, doing so carefully.

His hands were a comfort to her as he helpted her take off her brace.
You're hands move delicatly around me you must have been a surgan in one of your life times.
All the parts of the brace where finally off of her and she breathed a bit more easy now.
I don't think I'll be needing that anymore with you here to protect me.

He can't help but chuckle at her remarks.
"Well... let me see...
I had two that were doctors, one of those being a head surgeon for one of the more prominent hospitals back home. The other being something of a multi-specialist.
And then Brexen was a starship chief engineer. I've found that those skills work together."
He set the rest of the brace remnants aside, and looked at her with a slight puzzlement at her remark about not needing the braces anymore, as that caught his attention, but he wouldn't say anything about it, figuring if she wanted to explain it, she would.

Engineering and medican are often alike. Just that one works on fixing things rather then fixing living beings.
She saw the look on his face and knew she had to explain herself. It would be hard but he deserved to know the truth.
Doctor's have told me for years that my back can be corrected that I don't need the braces anymore. That I could get the pins in it removed but I haven't. I've been too scared to do either one of those tasks to take care of myself. Afraid that if I did I would be volunerable again and open to being hurt. But with you here now I think I can do both of these things.
She hopted he understood her and that she wasn't moving too fast for him. This was the first time in a long while that she felt like she was safe and not needing the protection of the brace or her injury anymore.

Taking in that information, he would nod slowly. At the same time, he discovered a newfound respect for her, because it would have to be excrutiatingly difficult to trade off avoiding being emotionally hurt to live with physical pain that the likes of which he could only imagine.
"Wow... I can imagine that hasn't always been easy, having to deal with that kind of physical pain, but at the same time, I'm beginning to understand why." he said, hoping it came out in a consoling manner.
He also realized that it would require great strength of character to be willing to deal with that for however long she had.

The physical pain helpted me to forget the emotional one I had suffered. But now with you here in front of me and for the frist time in many months the fuchure not looking to be so far off...I think I can let go of the pain of the past.
She smiled at him wraping her arms around him.
I hope you understand that I do this for not only myself but for you as well. I do not wish for you to fear breaking me. I want us to grow stronger. That is why I have desicided this.

He nods at that and gently takes her hand, and pulls her in closer for a hug, unsure what to say to that. He wanted to be there for her through all of that.
Deep down, he was very happy for her, as he hadn't felt like this in quite a while, either.

She laid her head on his shoulder hugging him closely to her as he drew her in for the hug. Knowing how silence can sometimes say more then words ever could she let the silence between them linger for a while before speaking.
I want you to be with me every step of the way thought this. I know I can't face this alone.

Holding her close, without letting go, as if to give her some of his strength, he would nod slowly.
"I know.. I intend to be there to help you through this.." he said very softly.
