Yuletide Fic: A Day in the Woods

Title: A Day in the Woods
Fandom: Starfire series by David Weber et al
Characters: Zhaarnak'telmasa and Raymond Prescott
Rating: Gen
Betaed by: Morbane
Word Count: 2632
AN: My beta noted the issue of both commanders being on leave at the same time. I don't see that this is any worse than both of them being on Xanadu at the same time (as we see them in the chapter); the half-hour or so to get back to the spaceport doesn't add much time to the hours it would take them to cross the system to the wormhole and into the action.
Timeline note: Missing scene from Chapter 5 of The Shiva Option, after the Bug attack

( Ninety-First Small Fang of the Khan Zhaarnak'telmasa stalked silently thorugh the brush of Xanadu )

She wasn't quite sure why she was here—it wasn't as if she expected to see Aral at all on her mission to deliver weapons systems to the beleaguered Escobar, and what could his ex-wife could tell her after all these years, anyway? )
