Egrix woke in the morning to Cara's soft knocking, like a gentle, rhythmic alarm clock he had come to rely on. He'd slept way longer than he intended, but he felt entirely refreshed. He glided across the floor, pulling on a pair of boxers as he went, and opened the door for his love. She gave him a big, toothy grin as soon as she saw him until she noticed him not wearing anything but a pair of human boxer shorts and took a step back. She bit her lip, a flush glowing crimson across her cheeks. Egrix laughed at her reaction, reaching a hand out and caressing her cheek.
"I'm sorry, should I put on some more clothes."
"No," Cara muttered avoiding eye contact out of embarrassment, "it just surprised me."
Egrix stepped out of the way, letting her slip past him into the room, where she headed straight for the couch. She sat down, obviously trying not to look as flustered as she apparently felt.
"Do you want to keep playing that game from yesterday?" She gestured to the consoles, still avoiding his gaze.
"Sure," Egrix agreed, admiring his cute human girlfriend perched charmingly in front of him, "but firstâ¦"
He approached Cara, sitting just beside her on the couch cushion and drawing her eyes to him. He wrapped an arm around her waist and another under her knees and pulled her into his lap.
"Good morning," he said with a smile in his voice, nuzzling his face against Cara's shoulder. "Did you sleep well?"
Cara nodded, smiling cheerfully while hugging closer to Egrix. He moved both of his arms to wrap around her small torso, holding her tight.
"Did you dream about me?" He turned his face toward her, smiling coyly.
Cara's flushed face and bright smile were addictive. She nodded, feeding the butterflies in Egrix stomach. Egrix laughed, squinting his eyes closed in delight.
"I dreamt about you too." He paused, pulling his head back like he had something he wanted to tell her. "Also, I talked to the Space Guild headquarters yesterday."
"Oh? Did you give them an update or something?"
"Yeah, I've been reporting to them once a month on my findings."
"How did it go, then?" Cara was a bit confused about why he wanted to tell her this, but she was glad he wanted to talk to her about what was happening in his life.
"It didn't. The report, I mean⦠Usually I talk to a group of superiors, but, this time, the only one on the call was Nornax," he paused, "the Daxian whose wife I slept with."
Her eyes grew wide as she realized what he was saying. "He cornered you?"
"Yeah," Egrix smiled at her surprise, "he wanted to torture me about being sent here where I didn't want to be."
"I'm sorry."
"No, it didn't work. He wanted me to get mad and fight with him because he sent me here, and it almost worked, but I couldn't stay mad. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I didn't have a reason to be mad anymore.
