CHAPTER 14

Conall spent the first morning onboard the Lurizians’ ship walking the empty halls, feeling as though he was the only one onboard. It wasn’t surprising, since events throughout the vessel had still been in full swing when he’d retired to his room for the night….

…His single-occupancy room, as the Lurizian woman had been quick to point out.

Maybe he should’ve found a bed partner last night—or perused the “menu” in his room. There was something to tempt everyone.

I don’t know what the hell I want anymore, he mused.

After his solo-wanderings, he spent the afternoon with Reus, Ashlyn, Karo, and Aevum, trying out the ship’s many entertainments. The ladies and their husbands stopped early to get cleaned up and changed for the evening’s festivities.

Conall figured that his worn denim and button-down shirt were good enough. Anyone taking the time to look at him would dismiss the outfit as the latest in Earther fashion. That wasn’t the case at all, but if Conall could get away with wearing whatever he wanted, he was going to be comfortable.

He spent the next hour wandering around the ship, and eventually found himself back in the atrium. It had become completely packed with people since he’d last been there.

This time he was on the third floor balcony, so he had a better view. In the center of the ground floor he saw Lukas, Deian, and Jayda, surrounded by people offering their congratulations, and trying to get a few minutes with the new ruling Queen and Kings. At their side were two young women, and four older adults, all of whom were Arathian. Presumably, these were Jayda’s sisters and parents.

The two girls were beautiful, and around the age of twenty. They both had long hair, but one of them had dyed hers a vibrant cascade of color. Black at her temples, transformed into dark blue, vibrant blue, and then a teal color at the tips of the strands. Conall saw her mother give her a sidelong glance, so he was sure that the family wasn’t pleased with her new look.

He hoped Oliver didn’t go through that rebellious teenage stage; although dying his hair would be a much better option than getting parts of his body tattooed or pierced. Hopefully behavior like that was still years away.

Content to watch the crowd for a moment, he leaned on the railing, sipped a drink that a serving robot brought him, and people-watched. Most were strangers, but one person stood out: Forkan was chatting among a group of young men.

As Conall watched, he downed a drink that was in his hand, then quickly grabbed another from a nearby waiter. Hopefully, Forkan had his own room somewhere in the ship where he could sleep off the hangover that Conall was sure he’d have. Where was his sister?

Onalee had told him that she was going to be at the party, but so far Conall hadn’t seen her. He kept looking, but with every minute that passed, he became more worried. Was she not coming? He felt disappointment at the thought.
