CHAPTER 12
When Lorna and Johnny returned to the programming room, Gerak-Nee remained seated silently in front of his screen.
«Hello Gerak! It’s good to see you,» Johnny greeted cordially.
«Grrr…Hello,» he grunted without even turning around. Lorna, on the other hand, passed by him raising her tail in a disdainful gesture. The human shrugged and took his usual place in front of his console.
After a few minutes of silence, the rakshani suddenly spoke.
«I need to debug this algorithm to complete the assembly module programming. Could one of you take care of it? I have to leave now.»
Lorna, through gritted teeth, responded:
«You want help? Ask my tail for help!»
«Lorna, calm down. It’s okay Gerak, you can go, I’ll debug it.»
«Hmmm…Thank you Johnny. That’s why I prefer humans. Goodbye.»
«Oooh…you, insensitive jerk, rot!» The angry chakat growled, but the rakshani quickly left the room without responding.
«Don’t pay attention to him anymore, Lorna. Life is ten percent what you make of it. The other ninety is how you take it. Besides, you could get reprimanded by Serenity if you keep up the insults,» Johnny said, grabbing the chakat’s shoulder.
«Oof…You’re right, friend. It’s not worth getting upset. I don’t understand how Natany can be with someone like that.»
«Lorna, she must have her reasons. And I suppose Gerak does too. He’s been very mysterious the last few weeks, don’t you think?»
«Yes.»
«Maybe he has problems and is too proud to admit it or ask for help. I don’t know. I’m just speculating.»
«Hmm…»
«Well, let’s get back to work. And when we get out, I’ll treat you and Rockshie to ice cream.»
«And why don’t we eat that ice cream at the beach watching Rockshie work? He looks so cute in his lifeguard suit!»
«Good idea! Although maybe Rockshie won’t like being watched while he works.»
«Are you kidding? That chakat loves showing off his athletic body in front of everyone! Heh heh.»
«Okay! We’ll go see Rockshie at the beach then!» Johnny exclaimed before immersing himself in his programming console.
***
That afternoon, Natany was getting ready to rest at her home after an extensive shift at the police station. After taking off her uniform and making herself a coffee, she sat in front of her PADD and checked her personal messages. None of them were from Gerak.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Upon opening the door, her heart filled with joy.
«You all! I’m so glad to see you!»
«Hello Natany,» Lilethe greeted with a tight hug.
«Natany. We brought you a cake. It’s similar to the one I made for Sorah’s pregnancy. You’ll love it!» said Doren, handing her a round package wrapped in silver paper and decorated with flowers.
«Oh you shouldn’t have bothered.»
«And it has spices brought directly from Grom. Your brother’s advice,» added Esteban, entering behind the skunktaurs.
«Oh wow, the whole clan came to visit me. Heh heh. Thank you,» said the renzar as she hugged Doren and Esteban effusively.
The visitors made themselves comfortable in the living room and Natany served them snacks and drinks. Then, Doren helped her slice the cake and distribute it among everyone.
«When Sorah called me with the news, I was so happy. Wow! My brother will be a father again. I’ll go visit them after work tomorrow,» said Natany.
«I think both Regt and Sorah are mentally much better than when I met them. I can sense it with my talent. The birth of Hajo and now Lien has given their lives new meaning,» added Lilethe.
«The presence of Varta and Avik, and the improvement in their relationship too,» added Esteban.
«That’s true. But I think they both started to leave their sadness behind when you appeared in their lives, Esteban,» said Doren.
«That’s also true. I witnessed that. Esteban, you were a blessing for everyone,» Natany added with a smile.
«You’re giving me too much credit, girls. All I did was make them suffer with my misfortunes,» said Esteban, lowering his head.
«Don’t say that, darling. Everything we went through because of you made us stronger,» declared the renzar.
«Well, it’s true that we once wanted to lock you in a foam-filled box so nothing would happen to you. But we’ve gotten used to it,» Lilethe joked, provoking general laughter.
«Heh heh heh. Well, continuing to get myself into trouble is the last thing I want. That’s why I’m here, Natany. And I asked Lilethe and Doren to come with me.»
«Yes, we’re also his bodyguards,» Doren added, causing a new burst of laughter.
«You mean about Brend?» Natany instinctively inquired.
«Yes…I want to go to the penitentiary tomorrow to talk to him. I asked Regthar, Sorah, Lilethe and Doren. And I told them that, this time, I wouldn’t do anything without the family’s consent. And now, I’ll ask you, Natany. Tell me, do you think Brend deserves my help?»
Natany remained silent for a moment and then stood up from the couch. She walked across the room with a neutral expression, delving into her thoughts. The skunktaurs followed her with their gaze and then looked at each other. Lilethe lowered her ears as she felt the renzar’s emotions become confused.
«I…I don’t think I can be like you, Esteban. As a police officer, I believe in justice. If someone commits a crime, they must pay for it. I…I don’t think I can forgive Brend, just as I couldn’t forgive Faise for taking the life of my friend Tagle,» Natany declared with conviction.
After leaving work, Lorna and Johnny boarded a transport that dropped them off very close to the beach on Topaz Bay. Chakastra was a short distance from the horizon and a refreshing breeze swept through the area, still full of sunbathing chakats.
Lorna took Johnny’s arm as they walked across the sand.
«Have I ever told you how important you are to me, Johnny?» the chakat suddenly said.
«Awww Lorna…I don’t know what to say.»
«You’re a handsome, daring and fun guy. You have no problem getting into mischief with me and Vera, making us happy. I love that.»
«I also have fun with you both. You’re a very special chakat to me. Very cute, too. And a great colleague.»
«Johnny…» Lorna sighed, then tenderly licked his cheek. After walking a few meters, they finally reached the post where Rockshie and other lifeguard chakat colleagues were watching the beach.
«Hi love! Look who I brought!» Lorna exclaimed, wagging hir tail.
«Prrr…Oh darling! You came!» said the large gray-furred chakat, approaching them and giving them an effusive hug.
«Hi Rockshie. Oh wow! You look gorgeous in that lifeguard uniform,» Johnny greeted.
«Awww, thank you darling. Do you like it? It’s a new fabric brand called ‘Miau.’ It’s very comfortable. I also have a swimsuit for you, Lorna. Want to try it on?» the lifeguard said, smiling.
«Of course! Johnny, please hold my work shirt,» said Lorna as shi took off hir work outfit to put on a striking red swimsuit top. Johnny felt a bit embarrassed seeing his friend’s bare torso for a moment.
«And how do I look?» Lorna asked coquettishly.
«You look gorgeous, darling,» Rockshie responded.
«Johnny, what do you think? Do you like it?»
«Eh? Well yes…I think the same. It looks great on you, Lorna,» the engineer replied.
«Awww, Johnny, you blushed, heh heh heh…I love making you blush,» Lorna said, winking at him.
«Lorna!»
«Awww Johnny. The blush suits your dark skin, heh heh heh,» Rockshie added.»I have an idea. Since all my colleagues changed to this new Miau brand, we’ll pose for you,» the lifeguard said as shi signaled to hir two chakat colleagues to show the newcomers their new swimsuit tops. Along with Rockshie, two more chakats approached. One with cream-yellow fur and another with dark brown fur. They all had on the new Miau brand lifeguard uniform.
«Wow, Rockshie and hir colleagues have the athletic bodies of chakker players,» Johnny commented to Lorna.
«They must if they’re dedicated to saving lives. Aren’t they attractive?»
«They are!»
«Come on colleagues! Strike poses in our new uniforms for Johnny!» Rockshie said as they all struck poses and walked coquettishly across the sand. Johnny’s face grew redder and redder, while Lorna smiled.
«I’d better go get ice cream for everyone,» the human finally said, as he began walking towards the store with an uncomfortable bulge in his pants. Meanwhile, Lorna and Rockshie embraced and shared a tender kiss on the lips.
«Natany, Brend has been locked up for four years. What he did was not in vain for him,» Esteban commented.
«Well he should serve his full sentence. That’s fair,» the renzar sentenced.
Doren approached Esteban and took one of his hands, stating:
«Natany is right. It’s fair.»
«However,» the female police officer interrupted, «I admire your ability to put yourself in others’ shoes. Despite all the bad that has happened to you, you still think about the well-being of others.»
After these words, Lilethe and Doren drew closer to the boy and enveloped him in their arms.
«That’s one of the qualities Doren and I admire in Esteban,» Lilethe affirmed, swishing her fluffy tail. Everyone smiled. However, after sighing deeply, the engineer stepped away from them for a moment, moving to the center of the room. Natany and the skunktaurs looked at him tenderly.
«I wasn’t always like this,» the human said in a calm voice. «When I came to Chakona, I…I was a very different person. I came with the purpose of fulfilling a selfish dream. I brought with me all the prejudices I grew up with. I hated being among chakats and other taurs, because I despised them. Poor Liner. I still regret being so rude to shim on the space cruise, but Liner was always kind. And I didn’t understand chakat empathy until much later, when I met Vroeg. I don’t know what would have become of me if that old skunktaur hadn’t found me on the beach that day…»
Lilethe was moved as she perceived her lifemate’s feelings while he spoke. She looked at Doren and they held hands. Natany looked at him, remaining silent.
«Brend is not much different from how I used to be,» Esteban continued, «a selfish guy who only thinks of himself. But what else can you be when you grow up alone and learn to survive alone, without a family to guide you? Brend surrounded himself with people who only followed him to benefit from his talent as a fighter. It’s clear he never made true friends. I know because no one has visited him in these four years in prison. Not his former Grom associates, not his fellow Khudok fighters… I had Vroeg, who helped me out of my inner hole. I had you, who taught me the meaning of true friendship and love. I had Regthar and Sorah, who taught me what it’s like to live in a family. I don’t think Brend has had the opportunities I had…»
«Esteban,» Natany suddenly interrupted, «tell me, has Brend ever told you he regrets what he did to you?»
«No…I haven’t really talked to him. But…»
«Darling, I repeat that I greatly admire your ability to put yourself in others’ shoes. I confess I was outraged when I learned you prevented my brother from killing Faise, but then I understood you did it for Regthar. The Renzars are sometimes impulsive. Humans are more rational.»
«It’s not always like that, Natany. Humans can be impulsive too. And I’m not justifying Brend with everything I’ve said. Nor am I expecting you to forgive him. I just think everyone deserves a second chance.»
«Hmmm…» the renzar snorted as she resumed pacing around the room. Lilethe and Doren looked at her expectantly. They knew Natany had a different temperament than Regthar and it wouldn’t be easy for her to support Esteban in this decision. After a few minutes, the police officer declared:
«Okay Esteban. I’ll accompany you to the prison to talk to Brend. I don’t know what he wants. But if Sorah, my brother and the skunktaurs support you, I will too.»
«Thank you Natany!» Esteban said, then approached her and hugged her tightly. The renzar enveloped him in her large arms, nuzzling his hair with her muzzle. Lilethe and Doren joined in a group hug.
«Well. We’d better get going. We don’t want to take up any more of your time, Natany. I’ll come early tomorrow to go with you to the city prison,» Esteban said with a smile. After a sigh, the renzar declared:
«Do you have to leave so soon? Why don’t you stay a little longer?»
«Eh? Do you really want us to stay?» Lilethe inquired.
«Of course! I’m big, but I still don’t think I can finish that cake alone, heh heh heh.»
Esteban and the two skunktaurs looked at each other and nodded happily. It had been a long time since they had spent time with Natany in her own home. They all settled on the large bed occupying the bedroom. The renzar embraced the three with her thick arms. Esteban snuggled between her and Lilethe. Doren hugged Lilethe from behind. They were all happy to spend time together. Natany occasionally stroked Lilethe’s and Doren’s fur, emotionally reminiscing about her friend Tagle. After chatting and laughing for hours, they all fell asleep.

I think you’ve captured Esteban’s determination very well! Him reflecting on his past and pointing the similarities between him and Brend is just well done, and reinforces once again why he feels a strong sense of need to help the Renzar. I think the timing is also right, if you haven’t shown Esteban’s struggling towards helping the Renzar before, or feeling nervous, or meeting Ping to ease his worries, then this speech certainly would have less impact and holds less weights. All in all, if I can summarise in one sentence, it would be: “reinforce the character’s determination with speech, but only after showing fear and worries in their gestures.” (Hey! It’s kind of like Maine, isn’t it?”
Yes, you are right. To reinforce his idea and also to reinforce his own convictions. He is also trying to reaffirm his desire to help. And it is no coincidence that he asks Natany last. Esteban knows very well that Natany is the most difficult person to convince. That is why, once with the approval of the others in his pocket, Esteban asks her. Esteban knows that Natany would refuse if he did not have the support of the rest of the family first.
And the speech, he says it at the right time. He remembers his past and compares himself to Brend. Not only because Esteban feels it is true, but also, to strengthen his idea in front of Natany.
I have said many times that Esteban is a naive guy. But here he shows how cunning the engineer is. And it is logical. A person who has lived and grown up alone in his life, necessarily develops cunning to survive.
Thanks for comment!
