The Rei Khans Wife of North South North West Kansas

Tsarina stared in partial disbelief at Connie.
"Honey, you've done exactly that; you have kissed, done more than kissing, and had your heart broken. You can't stop them from being independent. We either support their independence and show them how to stand on their own two feet, or we keep them sheltered and have them stumble and fall hating us."

“I wish I knew how to do that,” Kiki muses softly. “I’ve got a few state visits in the next couple of weeks so maybe it’ll help to get out of here for a little while and clear my head.”

Connie shakes her head. “Truth is, I want them to be independent. I just don’t want them to be anything like me.”

(I know that feeling.)

“Yeah, she’s still alive,” Carissa says. “As much as she blamed herself for the whole thing, she survived and I chose to save her.”

(I don't think Henrin knows Erwin well enough to notice such things.)

Henrin nodded.
"Very well. I must be going now; you can rest here for the night."

"It is only similar in the feeling of discomfort followed by relief."

"It is quite...crippling. But what is worse is that it is contagious - do you know what that word means? As I understand it, common folk have advanced scientifically enough to learn of how diseases, for example, can spread from person to person."

"Well, we have no way of communicating across such great distances, but when we don't return they will send someone to look for us. However...this planet is not particularly hospitable..."
The Captain turned to one of his crew.
"Call Officer Maria to the bridge."
The crew member left and soon returned with another woman. The woman, Officer Maria, looked at Nelly.
"What's this? Are we picking up more strays with weird skin colors?"

The Captain sighed.
"Not now, Maria. We may be abandoning ship on the planet. As biologist, how long can we last on that planet?"

She shook her head.
"Hard to say exactly, but without shelter? Not long. I suppose we can take our supplies of food and water and hope for rescue to come before we run out. We'll have to build some shelter for protection, only then will we have a chance."

The Captain nodded.
"I see...we'll try to hide the ship itself then, and hope that these pursuers lose us."

"And yet you expect me to trust you? You really aren't giving me much reason to."

"Alright, I'll take her away then."

Ameli and Delegata disappeared. Delegata returned a half hour later.

(Ah, okay. Because if not, she might be able to recover, like an addict losing access to their addiction.)

(They're not, but they would notice the sudden change in behavior, and the parasite isn't that well hidden. People will probably notice the increase in strange bugs roaming about.)

"It was very noble of you to do that. Tell me, would you like to help more people?"
