"We have not had any sleep for hours, Tristan."Tristan looked at the tired faces around him. "If we sleep now and are overrun we will be prisoners aga...n. When they find out we are the ones who escaped, how long do you think they will let us live?"Da'ren sighed. "OK, what do you want to do?"Tristan bit his lip for a moment, he had not had time to think things through. Right, by the seat of my pants then!"Rather than waiting for the inevitable, I want to try and capture one of the Sicceian's. Come on in." He kept his body in the water, up to the neck, and reached onto the side for an old t-shirt that he quickly pulled on."What's that for?" she asked, gasping a little at the cold as she slipped in."Well, partly because I'm likely to be standing up and don't want to get cold, and partly because... well... frankly... um..." It's not like you to be shy." I've not done this with someone that just asked me out before, either." Oh... yeah... look... um... can I... oh shitshitshitshit!" Did. “She is resting, my Lord.” The thin girl replied from her kneeling position by the door.“What time is it?”“It’s somewhere near the middle of the last candle of the day.” So somewhere about 11:00 pm. I finished eating, then left for the evening. I needed to go home to my girls since I didn’t tell them that I would be gone overnight.The walk home was pleasant in the brisk night air under a mostly full moon, one that was slightly larger than the one from my former world. The front door was locked. No use anyone else knowing anyway. I thought about adoption but there's no reason for it. They already have my last name and you have Dan's insurance and social security for them till they are on their own. The only thing left to discuss is if you are ready to make love with me." David, tomorrow you will be my legal husband. Of course I want to make love to you. I've always wanted to." What about tonight? We won't be married until tomorrow." What would you give me to get in my pants tonight?".
