Everyone’s talking. I hear bits and pieces of the guys’ conversation as I talk with Tia.
“I think she’s hoping to find a single guy.”
Tia laughs. “There will be plenty.”
“Zeno, you and I will head off security,” Bastian says, planning our new lives on Taugon.
“We need useful people to begin our new…” Tia’s eyebrows draw down as she studies me. “It’s confusing, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” I admit.
Jax sets plates of food around the table, then places Tia’s favorite fruity drink in front of both of us. When I look up to say thank you, he winks.
“We need a new set of rules; we must form our own governing body. It needs to be different from Kintuke,” Moak says.
“I agree,” Tekil replies.
As the guys keep on planning, Tia takes a drink and shakes her head. “It’s a new everything. The guys are a new species called Kintolf, but what happens when we start having children? They’ll be half-Human, half-Kintolf.”
I let the information sink in. I like the idea of having children, but I’m not sure it’s even a possibility.
“Can we have babies?” I ask in a whisper.
She shrugs. “I think so. I hope so. But either way, we need useful people to aid in the building of our society—our new world.”
“I like the sound of that.”
We sit around for a long time, discussing what we each hope for and envision in our new lives. Moak, Serkan, and Bastian want my three guys to help govern; they want a checks and balance system, something like Earth used to have. This will keep Moak, Serkan, and Bastian from having absolute power.
Tekil in particular knows exactly how the Ruling Quad worked and how the laws were created and carried out, which makes him absolutely invaluable.
Like Bastian, Zeno worked in security. I can’t imagine anyone will cross those two.
Meanwhile Vi’del, like Serkan, has a vast knowledge of technology.
As I listen to all of them, I’m suddenly anxious and excited to see Taugon.
My mind, however, keeps drifting back to my parents. I’m both excited and nervous, but I cannot regret what I’m about to do.
Tomorrow
Walking to the communications room, Zeno puts his large hand over mine, to keep me from wringing them.
“Sorry.” I blow out a deep breath.
“Don’t be. This is a big deal for you,” he says kindly.
“It is. I’ll feel better when I get this over with.”
All three of them are with me—my moral support. Maybe they want to remind me of why I’m doing this in the first place? I don’t think they’re worried I’ll run back home, but you never know. Guys are weird that way. They act strong, but you can never really tell what makes them nervous.
We make it to the small room. I turn and face them.
Tekil offers a smile. “We will be right out here, if you need us.”
“Thanks.”
I hate that I don’t want Mom and Dad to see them right now, but it’s a really delicate situation.
