" "That's really con," Kiza repeated." "That's really con," Kiza repeated. Furry realized she would be tired of that word rather quickly. Kiza looked up suddenly and said "Hey, Furry, got a serious question for you." "Another one?" "Yeah, sort of. I can tell from the way you talk about him that you like him. When you were describing him your eyes got kinda unfocussed." She giggled, somewhat nervously. "Is he on Pendor right now?" "Not right now," Furry replied. "He's going to be on Terra for another two years, finishing up his schooling." "So....do you plan on seeing other guys around here while he's gone? And will it be just guys?" Furry laughed. "That's what you had yourself all worked up over?" Kiza nodded. "Are you making a pass at me?" "No!" Kiza replied quickly, her hands waving. Too quickly, Jofuran thought. "No, I was just wondering. I....The Mustela towns down in Outskirt aren't quite as uninhibited as other places, and my last quarter here was a little surprising." Furry nodded. "It's been a bit of an education for me, too. I've only been on Pendor for about a month now, and I'm trying to learn stuff everybody else knows already." She thought for a second. "Nickolai and I agreed that it would be okay for us to have friends, even sleepaway friends, while we were apart." "Good!" Kiza replied. "So, what are your answers to your questions?" "What were they?" Kerry answered the question. "What was her major, does she have a nickname, how long until she goes to field, is she a chemical or biocybernetics abuser, does she study, is she currently in an involved relationship..." "Oh, those," Kiza said. "Let's see. Adaptive Mechanical Engineering is my major. Everybody calls me Kiza. |
