Chapter 19

Molly had managed to figure out the bed, where the food was kept, and how to turn the lights off before she found herself fighting to stay awake. Granted, most of that was with a little tutelage from Mintonar but since she didn't ask, she didn't consider it cheating.

His rooms had fascinated her. Everything had the feeling of being familiar, just slightly off. Bigger, for one thing, which made sense. She was above average to tall for a human woman and most things were uncomfortably short for her on the space station and on Earth. Mintonar was way bigger than she was; taller, broader, and would have been big for a human male. Since he said he was within normal parameters for his people, she had to assume they were all going to be bigger than the average human. Which made everything big enough to be comfortable for her.

The whole space was about the size of a nice one-bedroom apartment. The bedroom had an attached bathroom which, while nothing like the one near the medical bay, was quite comfortable and had everything she needed. At least, she thought it did. She still needed to talk to him about conditioner. The wardrobe in the bedroom was full of his clothes and he had several pieces that looked suspiciously like evening wear. Poking around where she wasn't invited, but hadn't been expressly forbidden, she found what she hoped were his pajamas and helped herself to a set that almost matched the color of his eyes.

Not thinking too hard about her choice of clothing, she curled up in the thing that looked so much like an overstuffed easy chair, she wouldn't have been surprised to see it in her dad's study at home. He'd been tall, too, and built big for a man. Her mother had insisted on fashionably normal furniture for the rest of the house, things that never really fit Molly properly, so she'd always ended up sitting in her dad's office just to be able to sit comfortably.

Before he'd left, Mintonar had handed her a mobile screen that was about the size of a multi-media tablet at home. When she asked what it was, he'd grinned and told her to have fun. Looking it over, she realized what he'd found funny. There were no moving parts. Not even any seems she could see to pull the thing apart.

She made a face at him, certain he'd at least feel her irritation at him, and began trying to turn it on. Running her hand over it did nothing, neither did shaking it or pressing imagined buttons on the sides.

"Please turn on," she asked it, feeling silly. The blank screen continued to stare at her.

Thinking back, she remembered the phrase he taught her to turn on the lights and shrugged and tried it. She thought the screen brightened slightly but could find no other changes. Deciding she'd imagined the change in brightness, she scowled.

"Mintonar, goddammit," she said. The side of his face appeared on the screen.
