... I mean, for me, that's actually a lot. I only give that promise to Ken. And that's because he's family. Hey, I owe you something, don't I?" "What?" "A dragonride." "Oh," Furry replied. "That's not a big deal. It got rained out, so we'll just hold onto the raincheck. Maybe when Kolya comes back." "Or..." Molly replied thoughtfully, "I could let you drive around my SAPS." "Huh?" "Just a second." The Vulpin charged between Shardik and P'raine, talking to both quickly. There was a moment of exchange, then Shardik said "Go have fun. But be careful!" "Come on," Molly said as she returned to where Nickolai and Furry stood. They followed over the side of the Castle, down to the sand and out to the beach. "I'd like you to meet the SAPS standard Shirow Mark Nine. Terrans refer to the Mark Nines as BVDs because, according to the translation of the joke I got, BVDs are the sort of things you do everything in. And everything can be done in a Mark Nine Shirow." She climbed up into the one that was clearly "hers" and pulled something out, placing it over her temples. "This is my override. Now then, Nickolai, take mine, and Furry, get into Rainy's." Furry looked over at Nickolai, who smiled and clambered up the sides of Molly's suit. |
