ON:

T'Strella and Gil Jared concluded their night of festivals....

He was about to return her home, when a familiar figure walked up to the parked shuttle.

Serrenn, out of uniform with a bundle of Earth's platinum roses walked up. His eyes observing the couple, he approached T'Strella, greeted them both and handed her the roses. He started to make a pile exit, when Gil received an urgent hail. He looked at T'Strella and apologized.... Serrenn replied quietly. "Take no worry, I shall escourt her and see her safely home, Gil."

With that Gil climbed into his shuttle and took off....

T'Strella looked at Serrenn and thanked him for the Roses. "The roses are lovely. Thank you. Serrenn."

He bowed slightly, and motioned. "Where to Lady?"

She looked around and said.... "We are close to my families holiday house, perhaps we could go there and watch the meteor showers against the back glow of the Volcanoes?"

Serrenn nodded and hailed a local taxi craft. They got in and the pilot sped off to the address. Serrenn had given him....


As they landed at the vacation home of The Drake's, Wife's family. T'Strella pulled the lock device from her bag and opened the heavy door. As they walked inside, she turned on the back lights and went too start a fire. Soon the living room area was aglow with firelight.

Serrenn went to the kitchen and steeped hot spice tea. He returned and handed her a mug. He pulled a blanket throw out of the trunk behind the sofa and draped it around her shoulders. She picked up the smart window device and opened the outer closure over the dome windowed cupola. They sat back and watched as the meteor shower filled the skyline. Dancing like silver ballet dancers in the sky.

T'Strella remembered the roses and rose to get the vase in the entry way....filling it with water and plant life extension pellets she arranged the roses and sat them on the tea table in front of them.. She stretched and the relaxed back onto the sofa next to Serrenn.

She knew he had plans.... but she was not ready to be a consort not yet at any logical rate. Serrenn, had been there as long as she could remember, his strong shoulders, the silent repose of a gentleman, to put it in Earth terms.... of course, she had grown up with strength....her father and mother the family strengths that bind and tie.

She sipped her tea and looked at Serrenn through long veiled lashes..... long hair falling on his shoulders, the curve of his lips, eyes turned upwards at the heaven's light.....and her heart began to feel illogically strange...

As the hours waned. Her eyes grew sleepy and she drifted off.....her long tresses falling like autumn leaves in earths mountains across Serrenn's chest......

The fire burned to embers as darkness began to be pierces by twilight......
