Chapter 9: Serious Repercussions

“Morgan!” Robert's voice echoed down the hallway. “Morgan, where are you, man?”

This caused Cleo to stand upright and take several steps away from the young man.

“I'm on the bridge,” Morgan replied.

Seconds later, Robert rushed into the room, his face slightly flushed.

“Cleo, love,” he said, forcing himself to smile, “could you leave me and Morgan alone for a few minutes.”

“Of course, Rob,” she replied, giving Morgan a wink that the traveler didn't see. “I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about.”

“As it turns out,” he said, slipping down into his seat with a sigh, “we do.”

“Enjoy yourselves,” she said, before strutting out of the room.

It was obvious that Robert knew. Morgan could see it in his body language. His face was red and he was clearly very upset. Which he could completely understand. The truth was that Morgan was pretty upset himself. Stuff like this was not supposed to happen. Of course, the young man wondered how Robert knew. On the other hand, he was the last time traveler so, maybe he had always known it was going to happen.

“Morgan,” Robert finally said, before pausing to search for words.

This gave Morgan time to cautiously lick the last traces of honey flavor from his lips. He hoped to everything good that Robert wouldn't be able to smell it on his breath.

“I'm trying to decide where I should start,” the traveler said.

“Take your time, bro.”

“Alright,” Robert nodded slowly. “To begin with; everybody makes mistakes, Morgan. You, me, Azure, even Cleo.”

“Too true.”

“So, it's really important that we learn to forgive the people we care about because, at some point or another, they're going to make a mistake. You see what I mean?”

“I do,” Morgan replied, “and, I completely agree.”

“Good. That's very good. Because I'm afraid a rather big mistake has been made.”

“It happens.”

“I agree,” Robert chuckled. “And, the last thing I want it to do is damage any of our friendships.”

“That's not possible,” Morgan assured him with an understanding smile. “Sometimes things just happen. We have to do our best to forgive and forget.”

“I'm really glad to hear you say that. I... I get the vibe that you know where I'm going with this.”

“I'm almost positive that I do,” Morgan confessed.

“Oh, good,” Robert replied. “I mean; I'm not usually at a loss for words but, this is rather a difficult subject to deal with.”

“It certainly is,” the young man agreed.

“Just to make sure we're on the same page,” the traveler continued, “what would you say if I said: you shouldn't blame her?”

“I would say: I don't,” Morgan assured him.

“Honestly?”

“Absolutely,” the young man nodded. “With all the craziness going on lately with date night, and turned off programs, and too much wine, she can hardly be held accountable for her actions.”

“That's exactly how I feel,” Robert instantly agreed. “Plus, I'm sure it was purely and totally physical. It had nothing to do with any kind of emotional connection.”

“I'm absolutely positive that you're right about that.”

“I mean; here she is trapped on a ship just flooded with male virility.
