DISCOURSES AND RECOURSES

Rod McBan, disguised as a cat, floated down the dropshaft to the strangest encounter which could have befallen any man of his epoch. C’mell floated down beside him. She clenched her skirt between her knees, so that it would not commit immodesties. A’gentur, his monkey hand lightly on C’mell’s shoulder, loved her soft red hair as it stood and moved with the updraft which they themselves created; he looked forward to becoming E’ikasus again and he admired C’mell deeply, but love between the different strains of underpeople was necessarily platonic. Physiologically they could not breed outside their own stock, and emotionally they found it hard to mesh deeply with the empathic needs of another form of life, however related it might be. E’ikasus therefore very truly and deeply wanted C’mell for his friend, and nothing more.

While they moved downward in relative peace, other people were concerned about them on various worlds.
