"All of it," Kari said dryly. "Vividly. For better or worse." It wasn't the kind of experience one could forget. Grilka had that effect on people, probably especially most men, who were down a hole and therefore working at a disadvantage.
"Ah," Kari said. "So that's where your better half is." This wasn't presumption on his part. To date, every Rasmodian he'd met had considered their literal other half to be the better half, if they considered themselves separate at all. Galactic Standard wasn't the best at communicating some things. "Good decision, all told." He paused as Xotll came trotting up, looking enthusiastic.
"Xotll, darling," Kari said, all smiles. "I think our new friend here would love to try a Butterfly Limeade. The butterfly pea flower's come in by now, hasn't it?"
"Oh!" Xotll said, looking even more excited. "Yes! I was waiting for you, since you ordered it!"
"I'm more than willing to share with friends," Kari said, a grin that couldn't rival Grilka's showing off perfectly white teeth behind pink-stained lips.
"You're so generous, Kari!" Xotll praised--one of her finest qualities, in Kari-and-Grilka's opinions--and Kari tried not to visibly preen as Xotll scampered off to the special mini-fridge. He didn't try very hard.
"I was wondering what on the station could get a Rasmodian pair apart for any length of time," Kari mused. "Wouldn't have guessed sex. Didn't know you could even get a Rasmodian alone for that, and Grilka's not the type to insist, which means you guys are." Kari took a sip of his drink through a long, pink straw that was most certainly not standard for a mojito. "That's a new one. Well, at least she's safe there."
Xotll, in the distance, had begun steeping tea.
