The Infinite Nebula Star

Zalla relaxed a bit when she got into her room. It was small, but it's bed lookedd cozy enough.

Chrysth's room was next to Zalla's, and there were other rooms for "Chryth's other friends".

You can sup down here, Hebtu said, pointing toward a larger room with a table in it. Chrysth glanced at it, then turned torward Zalla, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "I must go to the ship and get the others. Stay hear and make sure Hebtu doesn't do anything... funny."

He then turned and looked at Hebtu. "I'll be back." he said.

"What about the lady?" asked Hebtu with mocking chivalry. "Dare you leave her here with the evil Hebtu?"

"Shut up. I don't need to be taken care of, you overgrown dog!" yelled Zalla, her temper completely lost.

Hebtu just smiled at her, and Chrysth walked out the door torward the ship. He knew that even if he didn't respect her in anything, at the very least she could defend herself well.
