Once the ship cleared human-patrolled airspace, it shifted smoothly from a leisurely stroll to a lightning-fast slingshot through the galaxy. The trip would take approximately two more weeks according to primers on current Yadeshi technology. During that time, Gayle would be out of contact with her parents; at that speed, there was no way for an intergalactic call to get a fix on a satellite. Gayle was fine with that. She’d been with her parents for over twenty-five years. A few years away from them would do the entire family good.

She snagged Mila for a workout, signing them both up for a training session later with the other YETI students who were traveling to posts. Because the women traveled as spouses, they weren’t required to train, though it was encouraged.

“Ithann promised to beat my ass into gear when we get to Yedahn,” Gayle said.

Mila grimaced. “You know he means that literally, right? It’s so weird. Jaron freaks out if he even bumps into me.”

“Ahhh… Ithann’s nerves aren’t quite that delicate.” She shuddered, recalling their last bedroom session. He’d done things to her that drained the blood from her cheeks even as her body throbbed in hungry anticipation for more.

After their workout, they showered and chose a cafe to sit and watch foot traffic. The ship had rendezvoused with a smaller vessel at a point in space, picking up several passengers, including a group of school-aged children on the equivalent of their senior year trip. Gayle and Mila watched the group of Yadeshi teens with amusement when a lift belched a group of ten, with their chaperone, onto the shopping level.

The women observed. The teenagers were quieter, but they moved faster. Their expressions were livelier than the Yadeshi adults Gayle was used to being around, and their eyes continuously scanned their surroundings, soaking everything in.

“They aren’t quite like human teenagers, are they?” Mila asked.

Gayle grinned, enjoying the dubious, sidelong looks a pair of girls gave a passing human couple. “They appear to be more devious.”

The group of blue-skinned youths strolled alongside their instructor in a casual, double-file line, hands clasped behind their backs. With all the appearance of innocence.

But the two women watched as one tall teen, hair short and spiky, waited until the instructor’s back was turned and then withdrew a small, gray ball from his vest, almost like a lump of clay. The girl next to him gave him a quick elbow, her eyes scanning the shopping area.

So, she was the scout.

Gayle made certain her gaze was averted so the teenagers would feel comfortable to pull off whatever prank they were about to entertain the entire deck with.

“What do you think it is?” Mila asked, voice low. Yadeshi had sharp ears. No reason to assume the same wasn’t true for their youth.

“Probably something loud, smelly or flashy.”

“Should we observe inside a shop?”

“Don’t be a wuss.”

Mila sighed, patting her wavy hair. “I like this style. I hope I don’t have to wash anything out of it.”

The boy flexed his hand,
