Chapter Fifteen – Gaia
It was late morning by the time all the equipment had been stowed on the cruiser and they were ready to depart. For the most part, Gaia had stood in the sidelines and watched, feeling useless. As she went over Rikka’s words from yesterday, she realised this was probably how she was going to feel for most of the trip. If she couldn’t use any of the controls, what exactly was her role on this mission?
To lie in his bed and let him make love to her whenever he wanted. That was her suspicion: she was here to breed with, to be a distraction from the day-to-day boredom of life aboard a space cruiser.
“Are you excited?” Okil said. He had turned up at the breeding house about an hour ago and had taken Rikka aside to talk to. She hadn’t been able to hear what was being said, and for a while wondered if the mission was about to be cancelled; the discussion had become heated at times. From a Karalian point of view, anyway.
There had been no raised voices, but both of them had trouble controlling their colours. Bright flashes intermingled with muted clouds of blue. She closed her eyes and recalled the touch of him last night. The way his skin seemed to vibrate as she ran her fingers over his flesh, the way he moved inside of her, so patient and so tender.
Then, afterwards, they had lain in each other’s arms. Before she had said something to upset him. She still couldn’t put her finger on it, but she was sure it was to do with his upbringing. Once on board the space cruiser, he might open up to her, talk about his childhood. There would be enough hours in the day to fill, of that she was sure.
“Excited?” she said, in answer to Okil’s question. “I’m not sure.”
“Rikka is a good man,” Okil said. “He is a brave warrior; he will look after you.”
“That’s not what worries me.” Gaia decided to be frank with Okil. She had nothing to lose. Unless he made her stay behind, which was doubtful so late in preparations.
“Then what does worry you, Gaia? I know this has all been placed on your shoulders suddenly.”
“It’s not that. It’s knowing that you are a pawn in someone else’s game. A game you have no knowledge of, not just the rules, but the aim. What is at stake here, Okil? Rikka hasn’t really said anything, but hints here and there, tell me this is bigger than me. Bigger than you.”
“It is. And I wish I could be honest with you, Gaia. I have a part to play, as have you. My part is often hard; I have to be forceful when I would rather be nice.”
She smiled at him. “I never expected a Karalian to ever admit to wanting to be nice.”
“It is what I would be. Treat you with more respect, tell you everything. But if I am seen as weak, my place in all of this will be diminished.
