Safari – Excerpt

The bell over the door chimed softly as Gail came into the cafe, and a woman sitting at one of the tables looked up. Gail probably wouldn't have noticed if she hadn't been looking, too—for one thing, the interior was dimly lit, and Amy had chosen a discreet table near the back. For another, Amy didn't look quite the same as she had last time Gail had seen her, at the track where they'd competed against each other in goblin racing.

Goblin racing, meaning, humans running while goblins rode on their shoulders.

Amy was still the same pretty Asian woman, about the same height as Gail, but now she was wearing a blazer over a button-up shirt, and understated, office-appropriate makeup. Her septum piercing was also understated and office-appropriate, unlike the big gold ring she'd worn in her nose on the track. But the biggest change was that, when Gail had first met Amy, her hair had been long, black and glossy. Now it was still long, black, and glossy, except for one side by the temple, where it had been shaved close in an undercut like the one Gail had.

Which meant that somewhere, Amy probably had a tail like the one Gail had, made out of her own hair, which felt like a natural part of her body when it was attached.

Gail slid into the seat opposite Amy, and Amy smiled and said, "Hey."

"Hi," said Gail.

Which was another weird thing—that was the first word Gail had ever spoken to Amy.

They'd texted back and forth once or twice after the day at the track, most recently to arrange to meet for lunch. But the only time they'd seen each other in person, they'd been wearing bridles that made conversation difficult, and then Jisi, Gail's goblin rider who was also her girlfriend, had given her a magic pill that made it impossible to say anything. So, while they'd raced each other, sniffed each others' butts, gotten washed off naked together and leaned up against each other while being felt up by their respective girlfriends, and finally, Amy had fucked Gail in the members' lounge of the jockey club to an audience of appreciative goblins, they'd never actually spoken before.

"So," said Gail.

"So," said Amy.

At that point they were saved from further awkwardness by a server coming over to take their orders. Amy ordered a seared tuna wrap, and Gail ordered a sun-dried tomato and mozzarella salad. The 'salad' part made it sound healthy, but when it arrived, the vegetables turned out to be mostly a vehicle for cheese, garlic dressing, and croutons—not that Gail was complaining.

"Nice place you picked out," Gail offered around a forkful of food. "Quiet. And the waiters don't hover."

The lighting wasn't great, but Gail could still see Amy's face pink up a bit. "Yeah. I mean, the sandwiches are good, and it's close enough to my office and to where you work that we can both get out here for lunch. But it doesn't hurt that there's a bit of privacy to talk about…" Amy rubbed the shaved side of her head self-consciously.
