Alone in the swirling power left behind by the Avatar, the flower chosen by Gala swelled, blossomed fully and seeds were carried away on the wind.

Chapter Five

Eating at the food stalls was fun. When she licked the weird combination of ice cream and jam, she ran her tongue around the surface and laughed as Arez stared at her.

“What? Is it on my chin?” She could feel the slick substance running down her jaw.

He smiled and leaned in, licking away the mess she had made before using his tongue to taste her.

She held her hands clear of him so that she wouldn’t smoosh the small cup on his shirt.

She shivered as his tongue delved deeper. Conversation near them ceased as they kissed. They had spent an hour meeting the city folk, and the dessert was her reward for good behaviour.

When she leaned back, he followed her for a moment before he backed away a few inches. “You are right, that is good.”

She blinked, her eyes wide. With her gaze fixed on his, she brought her small bowl back to her mouth and lifted the paddle to her lips once again. She didn’t spill any this time, and he looked disappointed.

He sighed. “So, where do you want to go next?”

“Well, I have turned down clothing, footwear and hair jewelry, so maybe some kitchen supplies?”

Arez laughed. “You cook?”

“When there is no other option. I have had to depend on calibrated thermometers. While I can’t tell when something is hot, but my body still registers burning, I use digital thermostats for everything when I am at home.”

“Home is here now.”

She put her hand to her lips in surprise. “Right. Sorry. I am still getting used to it.”

The light touch on her mouth made her smile. She put the paddle of iced sweet into her mouth and giggled as she enjoyed every moment of it dissolving on her tongue.

Gala tasted the creamy sweet, and she smiled. “I have to admit that the sense of touch is more than I expected. If I had known what I was missing, I might not have made it this far.”

Arez scowled. “What do you mean?”

“Those folks with my previous affliction tend to die of infection. If I had known what life would be like with touch, I would have died of despair. Just let an infection take me.”

He bristled with anger. “Do not say such a thing.”

“Why? The only way I got by was by living day by day. I had to check and recheck my body for injury every moment of every day. It was exhausting, and only my urge to focus on a future that would not take shape kept me going through the long, boring cycle. I was losing my focus. My friends kept me grounded, but it was hard.”

They were standing in the market near the stall where Arez had bought the desserts for them. The locals were watching them, and every now and then, Rekfa looked out from her eyes and nodded to his people.
