Chapter 5.

Kaji sent them down more weapons and other supplies, as well as tablets with maps.

‘This is convenient,’ Jonah pointed out. ‘Can they just send us a small space ship so we can fly around and get it done quickly?’

‘I wish. No, there is a weight and mass limit to what can be transported. There is a limit, too, as to how many beings can be transported at once, eight or nine adults, I think. Less if they are big like you. And we can’t just use a shuttle craft, without knowing where we can land. It has to be solid where they land or they can’t take off again.’

Jonah laughed at him. ‘Reality is a nasty thing, isn’t it? I guess we walk, then.’

They sorted out the weapons and supplies into two packs, and were on the trail quickly. Jonah led the way, taking them down the mountain away from the town.

‘Are there other towns?’

‘A few, but that’s the largest one, I think.’ Jonah said. ‘They call that one the capital, and pride themselves on making all the laws. Most of the people live out in the country, and provide for themselves.’

‘How did you come to be here?’

Jonah looked slightly embarrassed. ‘I came here to get someone, but ended up crash-landing and getting injured, and then I was caught, and was stuck here.’

‘And the one you came to get?’

‘He’s dead now.’

Quin wondered how far he could push this.

‘So he was another earth human?’

‘Yes.’

Jonah picked up the pace, and Quin gave up asking questions. Jonah would tell him when he wanted to, or not, as he pleased. When daylight approached they found a safe place to camp, and took turns keeping watch.

Several times during the day Quin was woken up by Jonah trying to reach out mentally to someone, but he didn’t hear any response. Once or twice it almost felt like the big man was close to making a connection, but then it was gone again. Whoever Jonah was reaching out to was new to this, and maybe couldn’t even do it at all. That was alright, they’d find him. If nothing else they were getting a clear idea of the direction they had to go in.

As dusk settled in, Jonah lay down beside Quin and took him into his arms.

‘I’m sorry. It’s just … I’m just …’

‘Shush, my big hairy one. It’s alright. I understand, at least a little. It’s all fine.’

He pulled Jonah’s head down to his and kissed him deeply, and then nuzzled into his neck, breathing in his warm musky smell.

‘You even smell good, you know that? Nurse on me, please? It will help our bond, and make me feel good as well.’

He felt Jonah hesitate, but he pulled his tunic aside anyway and offered his breast. Jonah bent down and licked cautiously at the dark blue nipple, and then latched on and sucked gently as it puckered under his touch.

‘Gods, that’s sweet, like almond milk …’

‘I don’t know what almond milk is, my love, but I hope it’s good!’

‘Yes, oh yes.
