Chapter 416: Farewell
After his breeder talked to Zacar's breeder, Zaar thought of the sleek new ship heading toward space, far beyond the unclaimed galaxies, and he was there. Materializing behind the control station.
Zorlof turned, his laser aimed at Zaar's head. "Come to send me off, grandpa?" he asked with a smirk. But beneath the bravado Zaar saw loneliness and fear. Before Sarah, he wouldn't have noticed or cared.
If this newly third-change warrior thought that laser would kill him, he was no more than a naïve first-change warrior. "You sound like a human."
Zorlof lounged back in his chair, in a very human way. "My mother is human." Unlike Larz, he talked in that curiously informal way the humans had. Sitting there, his body relaxed, the only sign he gave that he knew the danger he was in being the laser pointed at Zaar's heart with a steady hand, his eyes watchful. Along with his eyes, his denser muscles and greater height proclaimed him a potential parenadorz.
