Tara looks around, bewildered, as a few of the other bar patrons seem to vanish. She blinks at Ardiss. "Looks like we're the life of the party, huh?" She grins.
Corliss watches Ossanlin as he retreats out the back door. "Gone off to fight those Ork blokes," he muses. "Honestly, I'm tired of fighting. Too many battles lately, all too wearying."
"Not to mention the base," Tara says glumly. "Ughhh, I just want to take a
nap..."
"Then why don't you?"
"I can't sleep here! Do you think I have a death wish?" Tara exclaims. She hastily fishes Myitt out of the little tupperware pool and gestures with her grey-green sluglike friend. "I'm not as crazy as this one. Did you even get the Skimmer fixed? Maybe we should leave. Just go. Far away, someplace with friendly metal corridors and friendly cabbage soup, and happy Imperial scouts breathing down our backs." Droplets of greyish, oily water fling from the Yeerk in her hand.
"I got the Skimmer fixed, thanks to the Engineer fellow," says Corliss. "And if you want to leave, you should."
"I just want a nap," Tara says dejectedly, looking down at Myitt. She holds Myitt up to her ear, muttering.
Corliss glances over at Ardiss and Temrash, sitting up in his seat. "'ey, where are they going, then?" he says quietly, drawing his Dracon.
"I don't...nnn," Tara starts to say, her eyes glazing over. The last of Myitt's tail vanishes into her head, and Corliss sighs impatiently, waiting a minute or two while Myitt regains control.
Myitt inhales sharply and continues in the same tone, "I don't know, either." She turns around and glares at the door. "What the hell is going on? Some kind of party outside?"
"Something like that," says Corliss. "Shall we join them?"
"Orks? Demons? Like, Lord of the Rings? No. No, let's not, if I do I won't hear the end of it."
"Well, I should hope you
would..."
