She walked by my side and talked, but I could not afford a sovereign, which was a much larger sum then than it now is, and a shilling, seemed to me a ...idiculous sum, so I determined to run, for fear I should be fool enough to let her have a sovereign. “I can’t,” said I, “good night, I only have a shilling.” “Make it two,” said she. “I have not got more.” “Give it me then.” I stopped in astonishment at the idea of her taking such a trifle. “She is going to take it and go off,” thought I, for I. "You go from here to Iridani Five, once you get there, you will enrollher in school." I couldn't believe this. I would have thought that myinvolvement with the secret experiments would have meant they hated me.Still though highly suspicious I accepted their help."Why would the Betas be going with us?" I finally asked after a fewmoments of silence."They live to please, they are programmed for it and have more troublebreaking the programming. They have a new mission, to keep Alex healthy,and that. I am getting sick of people saying that. "I am glad to get back to work and not just sit around all day long." Well, don't you worry about sitting around. You have plenty of work to do here." Thanks."She starts to give me a hug, but stops since her hands are full of papers and instead pats me on the shoulder and then heads off down the hallway to her next appointment. Her job is never done that is for sure.I clock in, put my lunch away and then head over to my classroom. The room looks the same. It was not working well so I pulled away from both and said to Jonna, "Get Fislu to kneel on the bed over my face." Yes, Master."When the words were spoken, Fislu was a lot more eager to get into the position I wanted. Jonna got a much better position too.I had to work Fislu back to where I had her before but it wasn't hard. I cast healing thoughts again but I also sucked on the small nubbin that was so near. I went back and forth and this time tried to deny Jonna what she wanted until it would.
