I’d spent a disproportionate amount of my life thinking about Rain rather than being in her presence. And as we walked toward Vik’s den, I realized that while I knew her—her heart and who she stood for as a person—I didn’t know what she liked or didn’t like or what she considered fun.

I knew she was carrying my child, and that she deeply cared about others.

“Do you think Carew and Racks had enough supplies?” She walked slightly ahead of me in a wet marshy area where cold water seeped through my boots and a breeze caused little bumps to rise on Rain’s skin. I wished I had something to give her to keep her warm, but I didn’t have a chest covering myself to offer.

“The first refugee camp they were heading for is only two day’s walk from where we were. They’ll be fine.”

“What did you think about Racks being a Rogastix?”

I shrugged. “I learned there are good and bad of every species.”

She sighed. “Yeah, that’s a good point.”

I scratched at the skin below my eye patch, and Rain fell into step next to me, although she had to take two strides to my one. “Kaz?”

“Yes?”

“What happened to your eye?”

I tended to forget about it, but when I’d first met Rain, I’d had both of my eyes. “A few cycles back, I helped a human escape, and I was caught. A cudgel poked it out.”

Her jaw dropped. “What? How are you so nonchalant about it?”

“Nonchalant?” My translator implant did not know that word.

She fluttered her hands in front of her as she stuttered. “I-it means, like, casual. Carefree.”

“Well, at the time I wasn’t carefree about it. Hurt like yerk, and blood ran in my other eye, blinding it temporarily. I thought I was completely blind. When they threw me back in a dark cell, I couldn’t see for a few rotations. I finally was able to wash my face, so when I realized one eye was still working…I had something to be happy about.”

Pressing her lips together, she marched ahead with her head bowed, and I could see a few wet drops glittering on her cheek. “I’m fine now. Healthy as ever.”

She sniffed. “No, you’re not. They didn’t feed you enough.”

“Well, that goes for both of us. Soon, we’ll be fat and happy.”

Rubbing her hand over her stomach, she shoots me a smile through her tears. “I’ll definitely be fat. You’ll just be more muscular probably.”

I patted my stomach. “My father was a big Kaluma. Round as a pikua trunk.”

“I don’t know what that means.”

“Big,” I said again, and she laughed.

“Okay, fine. I’m holding you to it. For every pound I gain with this baby, you have to gain one too.”

“I look forward to eating Wensla’s cooking again.”

“Is that one of the females from your home?”

I nodded. “One of the best. She just gave birth before I left.”

“Will the Kaluma accept me?”

“Why wouldn’t they? My brother and two of the other warriors have human mates.”

She stopped dead in her tracks and whirled on a heel.
