Bright Territory, a few days ago
Gill followed Juni to a place, observing the territory further. They ignored the many heads turned along the way, the two of them silent and seemingly focused on the destination ahead.
A few minutes later, the former couple sat inside the only tea shop in the territory. Of course, the tea offered by Bright Village was only two relatively bitter varieties of indigenous edible leaves. They were also consumed in small cups because potable water was quite costly.
They sat there silent for a while, looking at the wooden table in front of them. Gill looked at the crude workmanship but still felt a bit proud a Terran territory could achieve all this in a few weeks.
He knew it must not have been easy.
Several minutes of silence later, Juni finally broke the silence. And she was very direct to the point. "Can we try again?"
"What?" He asked. Gill genuinely thought he was hearing things.
