and
told him I wouldn’t be at the lab for a while until we got
settled.”
    “He can spare you?” Sam asked.
    “He said we have to get settled quickly
because the council needs Bron and I to finish testing the
anti-breach device. We have until the mixing. Bron said Naffie told
him we will find a fem there, so we’re going to have to arrange for
the Falling Waters and the Duchy to be refurbished quickly. We
can’t bring a fem to Soarer’s Nest. It’s definitely a manor for a
WarriorPair, not for a fem or Triad.
    “You recently refurbished Castle Water and
the Duchy is in the same general area, by the sea. Maybe you could
recommend workmen that can get the job done quickly? I believe the
structure is sound. Anything built by the ancients is, but the
furniture needs to be aired and maybe recovered,” Tarin said to
Juraens.
    “If we can get it cleaned and fitted out with
a new kitchen and baths, we could bring our fem and have her pick
out the decorations. I’m not good at that,” Sam admitted.
    “I’m good at it, but I agree, our fem should
have the final say. If the house is clean and the baths and
kitchens are new, we can order linens in the house colors.”
    “What are the house colors?” Sam asked.
    “The dark blue of the depths of the ocean and
the silver of a fish. We linger…let’s call our feline and go home.
We can walk to the village from here and you’ll get to see the
area.”
    ::Midnight, are you ready to go home.::
    ::Yes, I must admit to needing a nap. When
we get home I’ll tell you how to make my things.:: Sam and
Tarin gave each other a sidelong glance and covered their chuckles
under a cough.

    Soarer’s Nest: 23:30 tines
    Sara had fabricated a basket for them to use
to carry Midnight and they strolled through the village.
    “Next rising we have to get busy. Luckily
most of the WarriorPairs on Brightstar are already bonded so the
promise rings and Asta glasses can be made right away before the
rush after the mixing.”
    They reached the manor. Midnight jumped out
of his basket and walked in as soon as they opened the door.
    ::I’m going to take a nap in our slumber
chamber, then I’m going out to look for bancs. There will be no
bancs in our home. My size makes me an excellent hunter.::
    ::Thank you, Midnight. While you nap, we
will fabricate your things. Someone put a PetSmart catalog in the
fabricator, so we’ll have them for you by the time you
return,:: Sam assured their very large cat.
    Midnight took himself off to the slumber
chamber. “How large is he going to be?” Tarin asked Sam.
    “From what I understand, the males can be
eighteen pounds or more depending on how long they get. They can
get as long as forty-five inches.” Sam laughed.
    “We’ve taken in a laptard.”
    “Maybe he’ll help us hunt them.”
    “What are we going to use as our house
symbol? Mark says we need one.”
    Tarin walked over to what looked like a
drafting table but was in fact a holo projector for design. He
sketched in the air and showed Sam the design. There was a faint
small blue orb for Earth and beneath it ran a silver stream for the
Duchy of ClanWater. Beside the water sat a grove of Tierest
trees.
    “That’s beautiful. How did you come up with
that so quickly?”
    Tarin’s face flushed. “I’ve been looking at
you and thinking about us together all evening long. As delightful
as our offspring, femspring, and grandspring are, I longed to be
alone with you. But our femspring needed reassurance that I
wouldn’t take you from her so we went to her moontine meal. It was
the right thing to do.”
    ::I love you, my Sarran. You are perfect for
me. You understood what our Sara needed and generously gave it to
her. Let’s get our feline straightened out, then we can get on to
more adventurous pursuits.::
    They looked through the catalog on the
fabricator and nothing seemed quite big enough for Midnight until
they looked in the dog section. They found a bed, fabricated scat
boxes
