"I still don't look any different." "Do you feel different?" Kiza asked from outside the doorway. "I mean, do you think you're supposed to look or feel any different?" "Shouldn't I?" Garth asked. "My skull's been replaced with ceramics and nanotech is swimming through my bloodstream. I'm a Pendorian now, not a Samanite. I feel so... so normal." "But you're still you," she said, edging past him to climb into the shower. "Nothing's changed about who you are, Garth." She closed the door and started the water flowing. From behind the glass door she said, "By the way, I called Nickolai and Furry. They said they'd be here to pick us up." Garth combed himself down until he was satisfied his fur was at least ruly. Then he walked back to the bedroom he and Kiza had shared last night, and the night before. He felt strange, as if he were giving a lie to Kiza's telling her parents she was an Entalie', a homosexual. But stranger things had happened than a lesbian who liked men for a little while, he supposed. He remembered Furry telling him that Kiza would want to be rid of him the moment he started knowing "too much" about her. He wondered if two weeks, even two intense weeks like they had had together, was time enough for that to happen. Still, he had gotten to know her very well, and his Katckin form had become very comfortable next to her Mustelid one. |
