Having slept poorly, Miles turns to a sonic shower and a heavily caffeinated and sweetened mug of raktajino. Mulling over the thoughts of the last few weeks he sits at his terminal, and composes a note.

Hello again Dray. I would like to talk to you face to face, as I have a couple of important questions to ask you about your culture and sister. Would you please let me know when a good time for you would be, thank you, and I look forward to speaking with you again, Miles.

Thanks to the advent of slipstream, and quick missives through specialty satellites now sending missives through slipstream networks instead of the used to be tachyon 50 Ly per hop communications, messages were now almost seeming instantaneous. In a club, with her friends celebrating her latest Single and Dance Video on the holovid music networks, Dray heard a beep of her communicator. She hauled it out and saw it was from Marbin Rejal, her older Sister's boyfriend. She squealed in delight and showed her friends. The Sarteef Olany and Terran Omija looked at her, and she told them. They now squealed, having known Sav as the helpful person through school.

Dray and her friends went over to a corner away from the noise of the club and she answered.

Hey Miles, I am so glad to hear from you. I am also so glad you are catching her on a rebound from what was done to her, and, and, you understand and are still wanting her. Thank you so much. I would love to chat with you about my family's Culture and about Sav herself. I am at a bar right now celebrating my latest gig, it is 10:30pm... ummm, 2230 hours I think, and I am available anytime for the next several days.

You are the XO on a starship. Please, Please, message me 15 minutes before you call, and I will make sure to be on our households Special Communicator. We have one because of my Mom's Romance Novels and needing to communicate with her Publisher, so it trickles to me to use for being there for my sister. Of course, my Mom is a little disappointed Sav, and you, have talked with me, but not her yet. I let her know it is coming, give it time. Sav has been through hell and needs time. Oh, anyway, I'm rambling. Please, anytime, give me notice and I will be there for you, because then, it is for her, my older sis, always.

Snickering to himself, Miles writes back

I do plan on speaking with your parents, thus why I need some advice. We are now on our way back to Earth, so once things settle down I'll reach out to you. I'm going to surprise your sister with breakfast, hopefully, she's an early riser, I don't want her upset with me, wish me luck.

Dray showed her friends, and they all excitedly talked among themselves. They would love to have a boyfriend who brought them breakfast instead of expecting the girls to bring the boys breakfast. Dray quickly typed back on her house communicator, glad it was tied through her mom's special communications center.

That is sooo awesome. Mom and Dad will be thrilled. Just.. Dad is in the Dark on what happened with Sav, so, we need to break it to him gently. Anyways, I will help in any way I can. Then, on Sav, yeah, she is always an early riser, especially since that bastard and his elite tried to kill her. I think you will be a very pleasant, and wanted surprise for her. Best of luck, and I will gladly look forward to chatting with you. Have a great breakfast, and just let Sav know how you feel about her... that is the best way to touching her heart, and building trust with her.

We'll have to figure out a way to ease your parents in on what all has gone on. Thanks for the advice. Your Sister is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, I don't want to screw this up.

My friends and I agree that that is the best thing we have heard from a boyfriend in a long time. You are worried about screwing things up with her, when she is worried about driving you away with what she has been through. At least, as far as I can tell, from reading her body language and her tonals when chatting with her. I think you are the best thing to happen to her, believing in her and desiring her for herself, despite what she has been through. You just need to let her know that, she is for you... and you hope she realizes you are for her. I know a good heart in you, Miles, and I am glad you found my sister, and she found you. When you are ready, contact me. I will be here. I am so happy for my sister, and you, of course.
