How He Had Survived

Everett was doing his best to learn to blend in here and take care of his lady at the same time. He spent a lot of time reading up on customs and whatnot after she showed him how to properly use the communication device she gave him. 

They were in the middle of doing that—a common occurrence—when she suddenly let out an unfamiliar noise that sounded almost pained. He was immediately on the alert.

"What's wrong, my lady?"

Had she been hurt? But she had just been sitting there! What could have caused such a distressed noise?

Lady Josephine blushed heavily. "Nothing. I was just reading and something cute happened."

Ah. She was a fan of romance novels. Everett hadn't realized that they could be read on phones as well but should have since he was reading various articles on his. But he had never seen her react like that while reading before.
