OK, boys and girls. Here's part 2 of the insanity. I know it's taking
me a
looong time and this is way too short, but I'm swamped by school
(and a
teensy bit of writer's block). So bear with me and wish me inspirated
writing for the weekend.
To become one pt.II
Hope
(Pilot's Den ñ four solar days ago)
Aeryn's crumpled figure was disheartening. No matter how much she
wanted to
hate her at this moment. /Face it Chi, you're a big softee. <chuckle>
John's
told you often enough./ The lithe Nebari turned halfway towards
her former
lover, her eyes making her request unnecessary. To her relief, he
put no
resistance.
"I will go check on Jool. See that she has everything needs
to get her
fahrbot plan to work." /Thank you Chiana/ He hoped she knew
how grateful he
was. With that last thought, he left the two young females to come
to an
understanding.
***
Being froward had never been a problem for Chiana. As a matter of
fact, that
particular trait had saved her well gromed eema on more than once.
It was
honesty she had a problem with. Honesty implied laying down your
barriers.
Honesty meant leaving yourself open to being hurt. But John had
shown her a
different way. He'd taken her snurching little hands in his and
taken her
down a road where honesty and trust earned you friends, a bsurrogate
brother, a family.
Trust a hopelessly lost alien male to teach her to open her heart
every bit
as wide as she'd learnt to open her legs. Although she doubted John
had seen
it that way at all.
Be that as it may, she now had a former peacekeeper to deal with.
And an
emotional wreck of one on top of it all, for Cholokk's sake. It
was never
easy, never. /How do I make you understand Aeryn?/ Well, never mind
that.
She'd make do and that was that. She shure as Hezmana was frozen
over was
not going to achieve anything by watching her shipmate brake down.
/What did
he see in you, to choose you over me?/ And with that last thought
she set on
to do what maybe no one else in their little part of the frelling
Universe
could.
