"You okay there princess?" Sig's voice called me from my internal solitude. My eyes opened with effort on my part. My knuckles were white as can be from the act of holding on. My wings collapsed as if the bones and cartridge had been sucked out leaving only the skin.
"I have been worse by far but such extreme activities have not been preformed by me in many suns...." I drawled feeling so old.
"Going to take that and the speech as a no." He said looking over me. "Were in South town, tried getting you to slow down but you couldn't hear me. Had to keep on the brake the whole time so that I could actually control the vehicle without running over anything!" He said shaking his head but patted my back.
"Time?" I asked hissing at his contact.
"Got here sooner then thought! It's an hour an half till dawn!" Sig said.
"Mmhhh...." I said then collapse fully onto the vehicle like jelly. "Where are these races being held?"
"Kras city, place is filled with crooks. Not somewhere you raise a family. It's going to be an hour drive to get there but we're not going anywhere but somewhere to rest." He said firmly taking me by my arms. He dragged me to the edge and took ahold of my leg. He carried me to the passengers seat and buckled me up.
"Hour's rest is enough." I lightly protested.
"For you but I've been up for quite some time now!" Sig said making me smile. He was a good guy and a secret softy. He had only made that excuse so that I wouldn't fight him on it. "Okay, the Furry Corner..." I sighed.
"Already planned on it. You know Damas has started throwing the city's weight around to get better trades?" He informed getting into the car. "Says now that we have a second army that knows the city better then the people and are already on the inside, we have an advantage."
"I know, but I would never....ever use my people like that. They just got happiness in this city and liberation. I would cut off my nose and ears before I jeopardize that." I mumbled.
"Really?" He asked gaining a nod in response form me. "Your a good leader, make a fine queen."
"I'll yell at you about that latter..." I groaned snuggling into the side of the door. I heard his laughter boom across my ear drums making me frown. Once it died down I relaxed enjoying the feel of the vehicle moving and the sounds of the city and wind.
I didn't register that we had stopped or anything untill I heard the coe of Brutter as large furred hands lifted me up to a equally furred chest and soft fabric. "My girls all tuckered out!" Brutter said.
"Hi daddy! Sorry I haven't visited in awhile." I mumbled eyes closed.
"Shhh! Was planning on comings to you anyhow! You sleep!" He dismissed carrying me into the building.
"I knew it had to be her with the eco readings!" I heard Vin say triumphantly.
"Very well your hypothesis was correct, I shall conduct the research with the Lurkers tonight." Jean grumbled. I huffed in amusement but kept silent. The sounds of Lurkers filled the air but they seemed to keep it down seeing my state. 'Must look like shit.' I mused. Brutter carried me up stairs then laid me in bed and like that I was out.
"She should wake up at any moment now. Her vitals are all through the roof!"
"Indeed, it's almost too good." Jean agreed.
"Well if I wasn't asleep before I sure as hell ain't now..." I said popping from the waist up out of bed. "Hello, anything note worthy that you two have been doing since my last visit?" I asked them.
