Chapter 11

“I wish you would have asked Tramareaus’ mother for her recipe,” Jarston said. He picked up another choxin and took a bite. “This texture is so hard to manage. Whenever I try it, it falls flat and I have to turn it into taffy instead. I wonder if it has something to do with the abnormalities of the pressure in space. The cook on the SS Eos theorized that it was the reason his bread never rose.” He winked at Liora. “Though I told him it’s because his yeast was from Ganymede. Everyone knows a good yeast comes from Callisto. They just know how to brew on party moons.”

O’Tule laughed. “You see, Zran. That’s another reason we need to go to Callisto. It’d be a perfect reason to visit after our wedding.”

At her words, the talking in the Kratos’ cafeteria ceased.

“Did you say wedding?” Jarston repeated.

O’Tule’s smile deepened and she held up her hand. A ring with a blue stone in the middle glittered in the light.

“I asked her after Shathryn’s wedding,” Zran told everyone. “It felt like the right moment.”

Devren shook Zran’s hand. “Congratulations.”

“If you’re going to Callisto, where are you going to have your wedding?” Argyle, the head of the engine crew, asked.

O’Tule grinned at Zran. “Isonoe,” she said.

“I’ve always wanted to go there,” Hyrin replied. “I’ve heard the walls are made entirely of the moon’s stone. The whole thing is supposed to glow.”

Everyone looked at Hyrin.

He shrugged self-consciously. “What? I have fifteen sisters, remember? They’ve been planning my wedding since the day I was born.”

“Do you think they would help me?” O’Tule asked.

Hyrin nodded. “I’ll let you talk to them. If I even mention the word ‘wedding’, I won’t hear the last of it.”

O’Tule gave him a look of relief. “I don’t have sisters. Shathryn was my best friend, and now she’s gone, so I don’t even know where to start.” She turned to Liora. “Would you like to help?”

At Liora’s wide-eyed look, everyone laughed.

“Don’t worry,” O’Tule told her. “I was just kidding. I can’t imagine having a Damaclan plan a wedding.” She paused and caught herself. “I mean a Foundling, I guess. I don’t really know what that means. Do Foundlings plan weddings?”

There was worry in her voice as though she was concerned she had made a severe error with the Damaclan remark. Given everything Liora had accidentally shown them, she couldn’t blame the woman.

Liora shook her head and kept her tone light. “I don’t think so. My sense of decorating is completely atrocious. You definitely don’t want me in charge.”

O’Tule gave a relieved smile and set a hand on Liora’s arm. “That’s okay. I’m sure Hyrin’s sisters can show both of us. I’d love for you to be there.”

The question hung in the air. Liora thought of everything in front of them, the huge task they were undertaking, and the risk the crew willingly accepted even after she showed them what they were up against. O’Tule’s hopeful expression held Liora. She was asking a member of her family for a favor, and Liora was that person.
