Chapter 4: Relax
I had watched both documentaries Lilith gave me and of course made copies of them for my reports.
By the time I'd finished it was two in the morning on Earth.
On Gorus it would be late afternoon. I hear noise coming from below me. Their kitchen?
But they both went to bed. I went to investigate with my dagger.
I put my hand on their shoulder and Deia turned and screamed in fear. I covered her mouth.
"Why are you awake?" I questioned.
"...I was just getting some food you need to chill." She answered, getting a piece of fruit from the cold box.
"Maybe you should be more on guard." I pointed out.
"We have a security system." She stated matter of factly.
I nodded and went back to my room. By sunrise Claire had called and I told her of the documentaries.
"Great, so you'll be home soon?" She asked.
"Darling, I'm not even close to completing this." I said.
She sighed.
"I know."
She hung up and I went downstairs. I expected the girls to be gone but, they were on the couch in their pajamas watching the picture box.
"Do you two not have work to do?" I asked.
"It's Saturday Eve. Come relax!" Lilith exclaimed.
I reluctantly sat on the floor by the couch. They are watching a movie about a man in a mask killing several teenagers.
How Um...lovely?
I took notes. Lilith said it wasn't real but I told her it was still part of the history.
They put on a few more. Each better than the last.
By sunset I counted about ten movies watched. Apparently they have tomorrow off as well.
When I questioned why they just shrugged.
"We're goin' to get a pizza. You comin?" Deia asked.
"I don't see why not." I replied.
I stood and we all got in the car. I looked around as we drove, making sure my mask recorded it. All these houses look different.
And apparently their news is as well. The forests in a land called Australia were burning. Oh my.
No wonder Earth is dying. It's because of shit like this. No matter. I have an idea.
"You want to do what!?" Claire asked when I called her that night.
"Move the Earth to system twenty. My darling we can save them. Do you remember how you saved our system?" I asked.
She sighed.
"I do... even if I said yes that would take a lot of work that our volunteers could not handle without extra help. And the scholars will take convincing. Along with general Zep." She said.
"You always said to try."
She smiled.
"I hate it when you use my own words against me." She said, laughing slightly.
"And yet they are usually right." I said.
"I will try." She said.
I thanked her and she turned off communication.
"Y'know, for a space queen, ya look a lot like a warrior."
I turned around. Deia.
"I am both." I said.
She sat down.
"Mhm. How'd you even meet your wife? Not to be rude but, You don't seem like the royal type." She said.
"I will explain tomorrow. For now, I need my sleep."
She left and that was that.
