Tyr followed silently behind Seven as she wandered the hallways. Even though his shoes made no noise on the smooth floor, he could tell that she heard his movements. Finally, she spun around and confronted him.
“Why are you following me?” she demanded.
Tyr, in his usual nonchalant manner, shrugged. “I do not know. You are... intriguing.”
“Intriguing? And that justifies following me?”
Tyr was at a loss for words. This was a human, so how was it that she was the one making him feel like he was inferior? “I just... I have never met anybody like you. I would say that you are Nietzchean except that you don’t have bonespurs.”
Apparently, Seven didn’t realize the compliment that she had just been given. “I wish to be left alone.”
Tyr nodded slowly. “All right. But if you wish to discuss anything-”
Seven sighed. “I’m flattered. Thank you.”
Tyr bowed his head in respect and left. Once he was out of sight, Seven allowed herself to smile. So, she finally had herself an admirer. Maybe he could help her to get over Chakotay’s betrayal. Maybe... just maybe.
