There was a blink and Furry was standing next to him. She looked equally surprised. "Let's go get a drink." She wandered down the wood-floored hallway which opened into a larger, five-sided room. It wasn't a perfect pentagon, but a square cut through with a fifth side to the right of the hallway. There was also a hole set into both the ceiling and floor, with four broad bars running through it. A gray-furred Felinzi came floating down the hole as they walked through, grabbed the bar and vaulted into the room. "Hi guys. Who are they?" "N'Skii, meet Jofuran and Nickolai. Guys, meet Skii Narrone." There was a brief exchange of greetings, and Michelle said, "Excuse me. I'm dying of thirst." Nickolai could well believe it in her case; Centaurs were known to have a great number of physical problems relating to heat and water. "Which is correct?" Nickolai asked. "N'Skii, or just Skii?" "Either one is fine," the Felinzi responded. "I'm not worried. You're from Terra, right?" "My accent?" "Yeah. Hey, it's okay. I don't care. I like Earth." "You do?" "Yeah. I'd rather deal with Terra then, say, the Nydoe. Besides, Pendorians all know that our Vatare' came from Earth, that our culture comes from him and his culture and his peculiar way of looking at things." A new voice interrupted. |
