"Can'targue with that." Edil," she chuckles softly. "You see how easy it is?"I gulp down the rest of the suyt, then hand the glass back to her."Tell m... what it was like. When you realised you actually wanted to becomea kuzkardesh gara. What made you stop fighting it?"She seems genuinely baffled by the question."The eradication of Gillian Dixon's individuality is a fact. It makes nodifference how or when it happened." But there must have been a moment when you agreed to have all your hairshaved. I thought, 'Just like a man. Nothing is so bad it could interfere withhis sexual needs.'Continuing, I said, "It is though. I can't because, it's, well, it's mytime," I concluded.He looked at me quizzically, not getting what I was attempting to say."Of month," I clarified. "It's my time of month."His eyes lit up with understanding. I'd just dropped the universal "GetOut of Jail Free" pass used by women everywhere to avoid sex. Therereally was no good response from the man."Darn!" he. Betty didn't chuckle. "Yes, I will," she said seriously."Are you sure that everything is OK?" Sarah asked."Um," Betty started."You are not going to begin hiding things from me, are you?" Sarah demanded. "Tell me what's wrong!" Please, Sarah, tell me to do something," uttered Betty quietly."What?" Sarah asked, confused."I miss you," Betty blurted out. "I miss having you telling me what to do. Please give me an order."Sarah was quiet for a minute, considering what to have Betty do. Then she said,. "Hello everyone," she greeted us, then suddenly turned a little shy.I was surprised to see that sometime during the night Treeya had fashioned herself a pair of trim, lightweight leather pants and leather shirt outerwear exactly like my mates and mine. I had no doubt that Roya and or Sheel had a hand in helping her craft the outfit. With everyone on guard duty last night, I wondered where they had found the time. But, they are women, and women, my new mind had come to realized are amazing.
