How to Heal a Heart

[Broken Wings]

Isa smiled as she saw that Mac got a bit more Compfy with the thought that she might not leave this Ship Alone and would maybe get a little Fluffy Companion on her Journey that would be her Life. She was sure that this Little Fox would really shake up her life most likely for the better. Judging from her own experiences with Niki and how the Litle Kitty had Changed her life she could say that the responsibility to care for an animal often changed Humans, and often for the better. Isa was now happier than before and Niki had often helped her in socially Awkward Situations to Break the Ice.

Doctor Travers was also sure that Mac would get used to the Litle Fox and would Find a way to live with the Litle Fox. He had rarely seen that one of the foxes was this affectionate with someone they had just met. He needed weeks till the Foxes of the Healing Heart had Trusted him enough to take their food out of his hand. But Mac was Right that he had Dedicated to the Gaian Animals, these beautiful and Graceful Animals were his Life and he loved it to go to work to feed and care for them. He was once a Part of the Gaian Movement and had Defended those Magnificent Creatures with Violence. But after he was injured and awakened in the Care of MFE he realized that there were other ways to help these animals that didn't mean to hurt Humans. Travers was once born into Movement and all that he ever knew were the Fanatic Ways of his Parrents and the other Gaians. Sure he was all for it to make Planet Gaia into a Protectorate that was off-limits for humans, but he didn't want to hurt others for this goal anymore. Travers was never that compfy with causing violence and even as a Gaian he had always tried not to use violence whenever possible. Now he was happy that his daily life was the care for all the small and big Gaian animals that live in the healing heart.

Travers: well you see our Little Lucille here had always shown more Empathy and Compassion for Humans. I have often seen her playing with Kids at the Beach or trying to cheer them up. But I can understand, that it is hard to understand this connection. I am sure that I would also be confused and maybe even scared should I ever experience a Connection like this. I mean I have read a lot and have devoured every book written about it, and I know a lot about these Animals, but still, I think I would be Confused and Scared like you were. I can understand that you are trying to come to the bottom of this Mystery by using your Scientific Skills and the Scientific Method. It's something that you know about and where you know the Exact Workings of things. But I can tell you that even after Generations of Research and trying to understand this phenomenon we know little about it. But should you ever find out more about it then please share that knowledge with me.

Travers smiled and had a Soft Expression on his face as he looked at the Playing Foxes he really loved these animals and would watch them like a Proud Father who would watch his playing kids. To an outsider, this would look like a wild mess or maybe even a fight. But to him, it was clear that they would not really fight each other. They wouldn't use Force when they playfully bit each other, and the sounds they made were happy instead of aggressive. Some would be like a Furrball all over each other and rolling around the ground. They could see how some would clean each other after they played together and would groom each other's fur and make sure that they would be Clean again. The Gaian Foxes were really Social Creatures and often lived in Packs like these. They were often Family Clans, but in cases like the one of the Healing Heart, they could also form a Pack with Total Strangers. While The Gaian Lynxes were often more the Lone Wolfs, at least till they had found a Partner. Once they have found one they live together and often stay together for the rest of their lives. But even then they were not really Social with other Lynxes outside of their Familiar Bondings.

Travers: From an Animal Expert Standpoint I can't see anything against it. Of course, you would need to have some things in your Cabin that would be essential for her. One thing would be a Cat Tree, well a bit of a More Sturdy Model than a Cat Like Niki would need. Gaian Foxes are Superb Climbers and often Escape into Trees when they Hide from Predators or when they themself want to Ambush some Prey. So a Dedicated Place to Climb and Rest on a Higher Elevation would be wonderful for a Gaian Fox. I am not sure if Gaian Foxes can Learn to use a Cat toilet so you might need to have a Change in your Door so that Lucille can Leave and go to the Biodomes when needed. But on the other side, these Animals are Highly Intelligent so she might be able to learn this. Apart from this, you should make sure that she has some Toys and things to play with. I often use the More Sturdy Models that were made for the bigger Dog Breeds, and some toys that give them a little challenge and Stimulate their Minds. When it's Hot I also give them some special Made Ice Cream to Lick on it and to cool them down, they really love this and it is also a nice way to bring some Variation into their Diet and the Treats they get.

Isa herself would also listen to the Conversation and would be pretty Curious about all the things that Doctor Travers had to say about Gaian Animals and their lives. Of course, she had often seen them when she was in the Biodomes. But she had never paid this much of an Attention to them. For Isa, they were more like any other Patients on board. She knew that they were on board and that they got the help they needed from Specialists who cared for them. So all of this was really interesting to her, and she would make sure to write a Mail to Doctor Travers to ask him how they could make the care of the Gaian animals even better. To see the Passion of this man for these wonderful Creatures she was a bit ashamed that she hadn't put more thought into this before. But now that her eyes were opened she would make sure that Travers would get everything he wanted for these Cute Animals.

Isa: For me, I won't have any objections against that either. I mean she isn't that much Bigger than some of the Small Dog Breeds that some of the people on board have as Pets. So if Lucille wants to become your Roommate and Live with you then I have nothing against that. But if she has the Potential to become a Therapy Animal Like Niki then we have to put some more Classes onto your Schedule. But for now, I would say we enjoy the Company of the Little Rascal a bit longer before I bring you to your Cabin and let you rest for the Day. Tomorrow we will be down at Curacao and you will be watching your first Therapy Session, so you should be relaxed for this. And I want to give you enough time to Buy the things that you need for tomorrow and the next few days.



She smiled happily and waited if Mac had some more Questions for Doctor Travers about the Foxes and the connection between Mac and Lucille. Of course, the Doctor had many Questions as he heard that there was someone on Faith Haven who lived with a Gaian Lynx. He looked totally Fascinated and it seemed he had decided that he wanted to spend his next holiday on Planet Pygar. After all the Questions were answered she would get up and wait for Mac to follow her. Isa would leave the decision to Mac if she wanted to take Lucille with her to the Cabin or not. Isa would Lead Mac back out of the Biodome and into the Arthrium, from there they would take Another Corridor to the Habitat Compartments of the ship. It looked all pretty much like a Normal Apartment Complex on a planet. The Doors had Numbers and the Family Names of the people who lived there on little nameplate right above the Doorbell. Isa would lead her to a Room that had the Number 356 and already had her name on the Digital Nameplate.

Isa: well here we are this is your own Little Domicile for the next Months. Just hold that ID of yours onto the Scanner inside of that Digital Sign. The Door Should open right after. There is also a Camera inside of that nameplate so you can always see who is standing outside before you let them in.

She Waited till Mac opened the Door for them and would then enter the Apartment. it was a Small but Comfortable Place with everything that a Single Person would need. The Place was Clearly Designed for a Single Person or a Couple without Children. There was a Small Entrance Area where Mac Could Kick off her shoes and hand her Coats and Jackets. Right next to it was a Room on the Left that Contained a Small Kitchen were she could Cook for herself or Friends that came to Visit. Opposite that on the Right Side of the Entrance was the Bathroom with a Large Bathtub that she could also Shower in. Afterward, Isa would show her the Main Living Room, which was Compfy with a Large Couch Area. There was even a Section of the Couch that could be used as a Second Bed if Necessary. There was also a Large TV on the Wall so she could watch Movies or Shows after a long day of work. Opposite the Couch was a Table with some Chairs where she could Eat with Friends or sit down to Study. The Last Door in the Living Room would Lead to the Bedroom which had a Huge and Compfy Bed. There were also lots of Cabinets built into the wall so she could store her clothes and Belongings. At the head of the bed, there was a window from which she could see the stars. Currently, she could see how the Ship was Docked at Medforce Academy and she could see the Station from her window.


Isa: It is one of our Smaler Apartments but I think this should be enough for you and Maybe Lucille. We have Renovated the Place after the Last Occupants have moved out and into a Bigger Apartment. But if you have any problems you can Call the Ships Services Office and they will send you a Technician to Fix the Problem. We don't know what you like to eat so you might need to pay a Visit to the Supermarket Today, but there is a Welcoming Basket with Flowers and some Fruits and Sweets on your Bed. The Supermarket is one Level Below Belle´s Cafe, it should have everything that you need or want. For now, I leave you to yourself. I see you Tomorrow for Breakfast at Belle´s. We will be all day out at Curacaos Beaches so bring a Towel and something to wear on the beach, oh and something like a Bikini or a bathing suit to have some fun in the waves. I always love to swim a bit in the sea after the Groupe Therapy, it's always nice for both the Patients and us to calm the turbulent feelings after the therapy in the waves.

And with that she offered her another Hug before she left her alone. Isa was happy about all the things that they had experienced today, and she especially seemed to like the Healing Heart. It was a long day for both of them. Isa Decided to Reward Herself with a Cupcake from Belle that she would take with her home where she would take a Nice Long Bath and relax with a Glas of Wine in the Bathtub Before she cuddled in Bed with Niki, to fell asleep to an episode of her favorite Libertonian Crime series.
