very beautiful Brennae. My
interactions with My Lord Marcael are not as humans interact with each other.
As to not knowing him, if you have this strong reaction of jealousy then
perhaps your body already knows as much as it needs to.”
Being raised in Terraneu with everyone open about all things sexual had
not prepared her for a life lesson from a sexually trained robot! “Really Star
it’s not that I don’t appreciate your advice —” again Star interrupted her.
“That is what I should do for you as my new friend.” Star clapped her
hands together, “I should give you advice. I can tell by the color you are
turning that talking about sexual topics is distressing. I can therefore assume
that you have not had many sexual encounters.”
“Star!” Brennae couldn’t help laughing, “I really don’t need schooling on
sex.” Sexual education was something all students on Terraneu had finished by
their sixteenth year. The details were all covered in their classes. It was the emotions that they hadn’t been able to go over. Those you had to muddle
through on your own. “And I have had plenty of ‘sexual encounters’ as you put
it.”
When Star just kept looking at her with a raised eyebrow Brennae
confessed, “Okay, maybe not that many encounters. It is difficult for me on
Terraneu. I just haven’t met the right man.”
“We are not on Terraneu.” Star insisted, “Can you still say you have not
met the right man?”
As if conjured by their conversation the doors to the medical unit opened
and in walked Marcael.

Marcael had gone to the training facilities and
worked out with some of the other males. They were all curious about the female
they heard was on the Elyon. He only had a few loyal friends left now that
Colle and Mallex were on Terraneu. The six still onboard he had placed in
strategic positions in case they had to make their move against Knuan early.
Moving swiftly into medical he stopped short when he
saw that Brennae was not alone. There was a STARR unit in the room with her.
Scowling hotly at the female STARR he moved to Brennae. “You are awake.” His
eyes roamed eagerly over her face, “Are you feeling better?”
She had been red faced when he entered the room, and
her face flushed even hotter with him standing next to her. He was instantly
concerned that maybe she did have some type of illness. Maybe his excuse to
keep her under quarantine was a valid one.
“Yes Marcael, I am fine. My face doesn’t even hurt
anymore.” She glared at him, which stopped him from reaching for her cheek to
see for himself. “By the way...why did you drug me?”
He had forgotten about the sleep aid, “Oh, that—”
“Yes, that!” She snapped, “Didn’t you trust me to
stay here when you told me it was dangerous to go out? What did you think I was
going to do...run around the ship advertising my presence?”
Finding himself on the defensive put him on edge. “I
was trying to make sure you got adequate rest, instead of sitting here worried
the whole time.” He ran his fingers through his hair, “I am sorry I did not
think to ask you before administering the sleep aid.”
For some reason Brennae got red faced again, “No,
I’m sorry Marcael. I am just a bit out of sorts.” She laughed a cold sound
looking around the room, “That is an understatement!”
Marcael moved closer and was not surprised when the
STARR moved off the medical bed. “I am needed at the King’s quarters.” Bowing
low to him, she went toward the doorway.
Finally able to reach Brennae without interference
he put his fingers against her cheek. “Are you sure you are okay?” He looked
deep into her violet eyes, searching for some sign of pain.
“I’m fine Marcael. Thank you.” She closed her eyes
and tilted her head to rub more of his warmth into her cheek. “If not for you I
don’t know what I would do. I know you are doing what you think is best, since
this ship is the environment you are used
