The simulacrum faded before the three adventurers got to the Swamp, and Varan asked, “Do you wish to take a break, Vesan?”
The admiral stretched, her intact right arm flexing. “Yes, I’m ready for one if you are.”
“I could use the garderobe,” Varan admitted. Her ears and tail flicked when she saw her friend’s expression. “Are you all right?”
“Just a little irritated,” Vesan replied. “Having that one Huntress call my character Mister Floppy. My rogue wasn’t at fault.” She caught Varan’s smile, and the comedic aspect of it finally caught up with her. The two viri started to laugh, and Vesan said, “Getting a little too involved in this cursed game. Aka, you go and do what you need to do, and I will ask for some refreshments.” Her tail gave Varan a friendly slap against the younger vir’s buttocks.
Both Varan and Vesan were sitting back and relaxing when one of the station’s stewards brought the refreshments that Vesan had ordered. Varan’s nostrils flared as Vesan removed the tray’s cover and she asked, “Roast ‘epi?”
“Spiced,” Vesan replied. “With henal.” The small roasted lizards were a popular snack food, and the seasonings would make one thirsty. Varan stood up and poured two glasses of the pink beer before placing several of the ‘epi on a small plate.
Vesan bit one lizard in half, chewed, and after she’d swallowed the morsel said, “I want to return to the game after this.”
“Yes?”
She gestured affirmatively. “At least until we reach the Swamp. Watching you and Meredidh laying eggs would be interesting.”
“You came close to joining us.”
“Very true, but the ranger exacted his own price for helping us.”
Varan sipped at her henal before saying, “We should be grateful that was all he asked for.”
“True.” The conversation died, and for a while there was only the sound of the two eating and drinking.
