Chapter 20
Ben walked hurriedly, thinking and mumbling to himself. "They assign me a damn baby sitter. I haven’t done anything to anyone for this whole damn trip unless you count last night." Some around him stared at him.
"Excuse me, were you speaking to me?" Colonel Tawniz Dakkon asked, just arriving and matching Ben's stride.
"No, just thinking."
"I see. Do you have a servant that takes care of your offspring?"
"What! No, I have no offspring. What are you talking about?"
"So why are you cursing the servant that watches over your offspring?"
"What are you talking about? I have no offspring."
"I heard you say damn baby sitter, my translator bots have determined it to mean cursing the one who takes care of your offspring."
"Just forget it, colonel, do not translate anything I say that is not directly spoken to you. With the mood I am in, there is no telling what kind of shit will come out of my mouth."
"I am vaguely aware of human anatomy and I do not believe that shit can come out of your mouth."
"Colonel, just don’t listen to me, at all, or analyze what I say, ok? I am a bad example for you to be learning from. Your impression of the human race will be so fucked up its not even funny. Your new translators will take some getting used to."
"I am sorry, Benjamin Jamison, if I have made you angry."
"I just wanted to be alone colonel. It’s not your fault they assigned you to watch over me. There are a lot of shops along this street. Do you want to shop for something for yourself? You might as well get something out of this stupid duty."
"No, I have no immediate needs. The military takes care of everything I need."
Ben saw a shop with bright colored clothing displayed. He didn’t know if it was for male or female or both, it didn’t matter for what he had in mind. He made his way through the crowd and inside.
"May I help you?" the voice was feminine and soft. The speaker was dressed in the same bright-colored clothing that was sold in the store.
"My friend, the colonel, spends her days wearing only military clothing. Could you find her something similar to what you are wearing?" Ben asked the clerk.
Colonel Dakkon said, "That will not be necessary. I told you I have all that I need."
Ben asked, "Colonel, do you have a mate?"
"No, but that has no bearing. . ."
Ben interrupted her. He smiled and winked at the clerk then said, "You see why she needs our help. Put together something she can wear for special occasions. You can send the bill to the Emperors Palace to the attention of Benjamin Jamison."
The clerk looked at the colonel, hoping this strange being was not lying to her.
"What he says is true but I do not want anything."
Now the clerk was unknowingly totally committed to Ben's plan. She took the colonel by the arm. "Come, it will not hurt to look. You have a beautiful skin tone and I have just the colors to make the males swarm for your affection.
