âSo,â I say, âyou figured youâd get someone like me, who had no choice but to come with you?â
âSomething like that. No one was rushing to your beacon, Krakon. They told you not to do it, and you did it. A lot of âwe told him soâ on the comms chatter. Iâm sure someone would have eventually felt guilty enough to come get you. We thought you were stuck in orbit...not on the surface! To think you lasted this long.â
âYouâd have come faster if youâd known?â I ask, but itâs a rhetorical question. âAnd after you saw how well this all worked out for me, you decide to go on your own impossible job? And to bring me along with you? Shouldnât we learn our lesson, Thraxa?â
Iâm aware that Catherine is glaring at Thraxa. And that Thraxa is loving it. Thraxa must know that I fucked Catherine, but weâll both continue to not outright acknowledge it to save face. The swarm is one of the last concentrations of pure Cygnian blood outside of the aristocracy. We need the physical edge to stay formidable. If each subsequent generation outside the swarm is more and more human, then we can physically overpower them. Any pirate who fucks a human can stay in the swarm, provided he abandons his human and any child they may have. No hybrid can be brought into the swarm and dilute our lines.
Pirates were known to mess around with humans after first contact. The swarm lost a lot of numbers in the early years. Many pirates chose their humans and their hybrid offspring over the swarm. It became more and more taboo, if not outright banned. Things settled themselves as pure blooded humans became more and more rare--and valuable. Soon it was not at all common for a swarm pirate to even come in contact with a human, and without that temptation, the problem mostly solved itself.
Will Thraxa tell the rest of the swarm? No, she wonât. As long as I go along with her job.
I didnât think Iâd feel as embarrassed as I do. Iâm not a born pirate, so the swarmâs taboos shouldnât be as deeply ingrained in me. Itâs the promise I made to myself, after I lost Aria. I broke it in the worst way. I slept with a human. I gave into her scent. I was weak. Now Thraxa is witnessing my weakness, and exploiting it.
How can I blame Aria or her human lover now? I was just as weak as them.
âWhatâs the job?â I ask.
âI thought youâd never ask. But first, letâs get the fuck off this rock.â
