"Wonderful," Skii sighed, his eyes glossing over slightly. "They usually are." "He seemed a little out of it this morning," Nickolai commented. "Well, we only got about seven hours of sleep last night." "You two were at it for five hours?" Furry asked, incredulous.

They reached the lagoon and, having grown used to the effect, dove in as one for the underwater SDisk, appearing inside the Castle. Nickolai and Furry excused themselves and made for their bedroom and the shower. As Nickolai soaped her back with his fingers, Furry sighed gently, but it wasn't completely one of pleasure. "What's wrong?" he asked. "I don't know," she said, turning around. "I guess... I guess I'm aware that tomorrow you're going to be packing your bags and your memories, and watching Skii and Fadi, and his comment afterwards, makes me wonder. Nickolai, will you write me? Will you still love me after you go home to your human girlfriends and classmates and leave me six light years behind?" "Furry... Jofuran. I'm never going to forget you. I don't know if I'll be able to think about human girls after you. I've discovered I have a thing for your ears." She smiled, awkwardly. "Promise?" "Promise. I'll write you... well, if I promised to write you everyday, they'd be very short and boring letters. I'll write you every time something interesting happens to me. |
