He showered alone, dressed and asked Dave where he could find her. "She is up on the roof talking to Ken," the AI replied. Nickolai thanked the computer and made his way upfloors by the grav tube, carefully this time. He passed a femFelinzi in the tube he hadn't met yet; he thought she was attractive, but her chaotic black-and-white fur made his eyes hurt. She waved as she went by. Up on the roof he found Furry, Shardik, and P'nyssa Traken eating breakfast together. "Nickolai," Shardik said cheerfully, "Come, join us. Steak and eggs. Come, satisfy your carnivore heart." He laughed as if to say "I have a secret" (which, Nickolai was sure, he did), and motioned Nickolai into a chair, which he accepted. Nickolai dug into the dubious slab of meat, tasting it carefully before deciding he could live with it. |
