No Ordinary Goose Chase

Elis slipped off his shoes and coat. He had proven nothing about Pallin or a Shirukan in the area, and Raea forbid him from saying anything more. He couldn't push the subject on her without proof. Bad enough that she left him with her coat with hardly a word. In fact, she'd hardly spoken after the close call at the farm house.

Elis hung up both his coats in the closet, which reminded him of the pantry. Standing in the tight space of the pantry with her had presented a unique opportunity for the kind of closeness he had only hoped for since seeing her the first day he arrived in that town.

For nearly two Earth years, he had longed to talk to Raea, but never knew what to say, which only made her avoid him. Like the human students around her, she ignored him soon after he started attending their local high school. Debbie's arrangements with the school allowed him to attend to watch over her, and Debbie's arrangements with Evelyn gave him a close place to live.

Now, Raea had trouble accepting his friendship. He saw it in the way she kept her distance. With the training, though, he hoped she would allow him in as someone she trusted, and maybe someone closer. For a brief time in that pantry, she had relaxed next to him. He could have stood there forever if she would have stayed. Every cell in his body found peace holding her. He hoped she would choose him to bond as a mate, but it seemed she had no intention of accepting him.

Only on landing in a new field a little further away from home than where they had taken off had she allowed him close again. And then it had only been to help her to pull the broken feathers, and afterwards to shrink her wings. She said little to him on the walk back through the snow.

What did he have to do to prove himself to her? The Starfire had brought this opportunity to be close in teaching her about what she was. He didn't know what else to do. Almost two years of silence and letting the students of McClarron High stick him with a negative label would be hard to break.

Some days he longed for home, despite the dangers. Earth could be much worse, even cruel, in many ways.

Elis sighed and closed the closet. Silence filled the house. Evelyn had gone to bed already. He respected her sleep, and he loved her as family. Her faith in her God inspired him. Maybe Earth wasn't so bad. And he had his cousin to talk to.

Nare. Maybe she could help him. He hurried up to his room, squeezing to the far left on the loose step to avoid making it squeak. From the desk in the corner, the computer fan hummed quietly. But he had another means to contact her.

He closed the door and pulled out the tri-comm from his jeans pocket.
