Arrival

[The Empire]

"I can imagine, shall we go? Unless you have other duties of course. I have a few things I would like to ask you on the way."

[Mor'os]

"We?" asked Osmar, puzzled again. "I am not sure why I would be necessary..." He hesitated before gong farther. "Or if it would be proper for that matter if you are suggesting what I sin'k you are. Or perhap's I am jus't misunder's'tanding."

[The Empire]

"I was just wondering if you would keep me company on the way to my suite, nothing more, besides, that would allow us to talk about some things concering my situation here that I have been thinking of."

[Mor'os]

"Oh, I misunder's'tood. Zere should be nosing wrong wiz zat."

[The Empire]

"Shall we go then?"

[Mor'os]

"Yes yes, let us go zen. Ah," said Osmar, for a brief moment slightly disorientated and lost, "I believe zat zis way is ze fastes't."

[The Empire]

Hanna offered him her arm with a courtly smile and waited with voicing her thoughts until they were out of earshot from the two people she knew would understand her Inglish.

"Osmar, why didn't you even say something before you left this morning? With what I now know you have accomplished today I can understand that you were hurried, but when you left without a word. That hurt."

[Mor'os]

Osmar did not immediately reply, instead biting his lower lip for a moment before speaking.

"I did not know zat was ze case of sing's. I am deeply sorry if I hur't you, zough I am s'till not entirely sure of ze reason's. When I woke, I foun'd you to s'till be a's'leep, an'd to do right decided to allow you to finish your res't while I p'repared an'd fulfilled my obligation's."

[The Empire]

"Hmpf... I was awake enough to see you get out of bed..." Hanna said while lowering her voice.

[Mor'os]

"Well, I was not aware," a sense of indignity creeping up on him. "You could have easily sad somesing, I would not have been insul'ted."

[The Empire]

"You were so quick to leave I barely had time to open my mouth to speak before you swooshed out... and there is no point in arguing about the past. But you still has plenty of chances to make up for it. How is up to you dear" That last part was whispered and ended in a wink...

[Mor'os]

"Ah..." replied Osmar, not quite sure again at what the proper response ought to be. So much new and uncharted territory, so many very potential pitfalls to fall into, and painfully doubtless.

Ooh! I believe that's what they call "sexual innuendo" commented gleeful first thoughts.

Hm, I'm not sure I like this now...

We resolved this last night I thought...

Third thoughts meanwhile was actually for a rare moment absent, despite the multitude of irrelevant observations simply begging to be made to be made. First and Second Thoughts almost took it upon themselves to fill the void.

"Well," said Osmar when the internal debate finally produced words, blushing with a slight sheepish grin, "I believe zat will have to wait for now, as now is not a p'roper time."

[The Empire]

"Time will tell I think. That concluded, I wish to adress the other thing I was wondering about. What will become of me and those who came with me? Although I don't feel it, I think most of my bodyguards has started to feel as if they were prisoners in themselves, free to go and do almost what ever they want, but unable to understand what anyone around them are saying and unable to make themselves understood."

[Mor'os]

Osmar scratched his chin, replying "Ze language barrier is easily solved enough. Yoursel'f an'd zem could be tought to s'peak, jus't as I have learned Ing'lish."

[The Empire]

"True, but I don't know if they would have the patience. Or the will to stay for that matter... You see, my position now is non-existant. This is a new world, litterally, and thus new rules. As I told you yesterday, our homeworld is probably only a lifeless ball of lethal soil and dead, boiled, oceans. And that is partially my fault... Not to mention they didn't even have a choice in following me here. On top of that, those who died in the crash was not just people that were choosen to rebuild a new civilization but also families, and relatives of some of the guards. They would hardly be human if some of them didn't at least partially blame me for the deaths of their loved ones."
