Chapter #5
Best way to see the Citadel
by: Unknown
John was careful as he climbed upon Jaylee's open palm. She hadn't given him any reason to doubt her sincerity when she claimed to only be there to help him. He reminded himself to not look down as he stood within the giantess's hand as surely seeing just how high up he was would have made his head spin. Jaylee smiled approvingly before reaching with her other hand towards the bracelet around her wrist. She pressed a button and a length of cord extended from within.
"Here, attach the clip at the end of the rope onto your belt. Just in case I stumble and accidentally drop you you won't plummet all the way to your death." She smiled the whole time and spoke as if the threat of plummeting hundreds of feet and ending as a red splot on the Citadel ground level wasn't any real threat. John complied and he did begin to feel more comfortable and reassured after giving the synthfiber cord several tense tugs to test it.
Without warning, Jaylee turned from the dock and began to walk away with John in her open hand. The wind rushed around him with gale force strength as she started moving and he was momentarily buffeted by the shift in movement. He leaned forward to grab hold of one of her massive fingers for support. The gentle giantess barely felt the tiny man squeezing her finger and made her way between the tall cylindrical towers of the Citadel.
"The Citadel was refurbished for both males and females to travel around. All of these buildings we are passing are fully self sufficient for the male populations that live within. I don't know how you all do it back on Earth, but we do our best here to make sure none of you little cuties accidentally get stomped or crushed by one of us." Jaylee held her tiny passenger up near shoulder level so that she could keep an eye on him as well as give him the most advantageous view of the surrounding galactic hub. "Impressive isn't it? I've never actually been to Earth myself, but I imagine you guys don't have anything as efficient as this."
She smiled and peered down at him until John realized she was waiting for a response. He truly didn't know what Earth was like anymore. At least not in this dimension. He up into Jaylee's eyes and returned her smile with his own.
"Uh...yeah I have never seen such a...umm...breath taking sight."
Jaylee suddenly laughed and as her body shook causing John to nearly lose his balance. She stifled the rest of her laughs and smiled even wider.
"Oh my Mr. Shepard! Are you flirting with little me? Quite the bold move for a man!"
His face turned red and he began to stammer and apology. He hadn't meant for his comment to come out the way it had. His embarrassment and discomfort only made Jaylee laugh some more.
"I'm only teasing you, Mr. Shepard! But be careful. Your unintentional charm could make a girl like me fall for you." She winked and blew him a kiss, which to him was a massive gust of wind that momentarily sent him back pedaling towards the edge of her palm. For the third time, Jaylee laughed at John's discomfort.
Mid-laugh she stopped and suddenly sucked in air through her teeth and groaned. John couldn't see what had happened, but she looked like she was in immense discomfort. She clenched her eyes to block out the short burst of discomfort and leaned over slightly.
"Jaylee! What's wrong! What's going on!"
She gave John a half smile as she began to recover.
"Our little banter got me too worked up and excited. I am overdue for an unloading and now I am backed up and experiencing some minor straining."
John didn't know what she was talking about, but he could see beads of sweat from her discomfort forming on her brow.
"Maybe we should go get that taken care of?"
She gave a short laugh before suddenly being wracked by another short burst of discomfort.
"Oh, please don't tease me, John. You are quite the tease little man. I need to get you to your safe quarters so you can get briefed and ready for departure tomorrow." She stood back up and wiped the sweat from her brow. "I should be fine now. Let's get going shall we?"
