Besides the Iowa , Icky also put in a call to her father, Urnak, again routed through Anvil Dark, to see if he’d be willing to bring the Nemesis on the long trip out to Reverie. He was noncommittal but told us he’d get back to us with a firm answer in a few days, when we’d call again. He did have news for Icky, though.

“I got a message from Paxomar. He was looking for you,” Urnak said.

“I’ll bet he was,” Torina purred.

Icky stuck her tongue at her.

“What did he want?” she asked her father.

“No idea. He said he wanted to talk to you about it directly. And since you told me not to tell anyone where you were, well, I didn’t.”

Icky frowned. “See if you can get him aboard the Nemesis , or at least ready to patch through from wherever he is when we talk again in a few days,” she said, then set a specific time with her father that she’d call him.

She was still frowning after she signed off. “I wonder what he wants.”

“Well, he’s your betrothed, so I’m assuming he, you know, wants to talk to his sweetie,” I suggested. “You are a radiant bloom of desire and lust, after all.”

“That’s true. I can’t help being all this,” she said, waving a thick hand at the mass of her torso. And legs. And feet.

“Whole lotta woman,” Perry cooed, batting his mechanical eyelids.

Icky narrowed her eyes. “The bird is right. But we Wu’tzur aren’t big into long-distance relationships, dirty talk over the comm, that sort of thing. We’re a very physical people. In fact, when we’re in the same burrow—that’s a bed for you skinnies—we like to—"

“Gotcha, big girl. Let’s leave the rest of that unsaid, shall we?” I suggested, then shrugged. “If it was something really urgent, I doubt he’d have just put your father off like that.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

Which left us with the yawning question of what we wanted to do next.
