I carried Venus onto the ship. She was once again becoming anxious. Talking about her home world had not seemed to be the cause. Nor had being away from it. No my Kel could taste as her fear increased. With. Every. Step. It nearly caused her body to shake with tension as the door to my ship closed. Locking us and everyone else within.
I could not understand why. At first we had thought it was due to her planet being much more dangerous than we had first thought. I knew otherwise. She was fearful of being on the ship. I wanted to know why. Many of the IPU diplomats tried to get a look at her as we passed by. Even so I went straight for my room. Or rather our room. It had been made to fit me and my mate. With plenty of room to spare but even so, I wondered if it would be comfortable to her. For her.
