Three hours of trying on costumes and clothing from around the Earth and she had come out with a few items she could live with.

The clothing that she really wanted to wear was the few designs of Rrassic origin that Kromil had produced.

Rrassic clothing was long, elegant and wrapped around the body. Bands of metallic lace twisted around the limbs and torso, marking and enhancing the form and figure of the wearer. Well, the female clothing was like that. The masculine clothing was tunics and trousers with trim, so the Rrassic on Imrahl were just wearing what they would on their home world.

Kromil sorted through the fabric samples and nodded. “I can work on this today and get you something to wear tomorrow if that is acceptable?”

Isabella smirked. “Sure, I have plenty of stuff to wear.”

Iktabi winced. “The sooner the better, Kromil. I have to look at her fashion choices. It is becoming painful.”

“I understand, Overseer. I will do what I can.”

Isabella chortled. It was fun to torment someone who couldn’t fight back but still held her life in his hands. The frisson of danger was always with her, and she definitely enjoyed it.

Iktabi sighed. “Come along, Isabella. You have one more appointment today.”

“I do?” It was news to her.

“You do.” He walked out the door, and he must have shortened her tether because she was hauled along after him, stumbling until she caught up to him.

He snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her to his chest. “Lean your head on my shoulder.”

It was all the warning she had as he lifted her in his arms, bent his legs and leaped skyward.

If her head hadn’t been pressed to his shoulder, she would have suffered whiplash or worse. Unlike the glide from the top of a building, the ground takeoff was quite violent.

She closed her eyes and remained still as he flew them across the city. When he circled for a landing, she opened her eyes. The med centre was getting larger beneath them.

“I am not due for a physical for a few months.”

“I know, but as you pointed out, we could be missing out on a change in your biological state. We can’t have that.” His voice rumbled against her temple.

She definitely wanted to run, and he likely sensed it. He didn’t set her down but rather walked into the roof access door and down the stairs to the exam labs.

She had nowhere to go.

The med team was waiting, and when Iktabi set her down on the scanning bed, he didn’t go far. The medics moved around him with deference as they took hormone levels from her and ran internal scans.

The whole time she was being fussed over, Isabella glared at Iktabi. He seemed remarkably immune to her irritation.

“Overseer, you are correct. We wouldn’t have been able to catch it if you hadn’t mentioned it. She has already passed into receptivity.”

Isabella drummed her fingers against the table and didn’t say anything. She sat up and swung her legs off the table, preparing to hop off.
