I always felt as if I had a connection with the Comtesse, despite the generations. It was one of the ways that I improved my French, my grandmother an...d I sitting in her parlor reading and translating Aurora’s diaries. My grandmother used to tell me that I was just like her, you know the first Aurora, which I always knew was silly. After all, how could she know? But then she would lean over and touch the side of her nose and tell me that ‘Some of us have the sight.’”At that I had to smile.. "Hardly nothing mom." I told her. "In fact I would say that never has so little been so much." She blushed furiously, but I could see she was breathing fast. "I'll leave you to change out of your work clothes. I can't wait to get my hands on you." Another sharp intake of breath. "To give you your back massage of course" Yes Dorian." She smiled almost shyly at me.I left and descended to the lounge. Finally I heard mom walking down the stairs and I held my breath with anticipation. I was not to. Over the comm, Dave yelled, “You’re both hired. You start at 05:00 hours tomorrow.”So, Gary took the family to the B&C Office and got them all signed up as Futura workers and into the system. They had to open an account for Indi too since she was to be paid. He told them what they were entitled to and showed them how to get clothes and stuff out of the replicator. In particular, the clothes he wanted the boys to wear in the morning.He got them all to stand in front of the scanner so the machine. " Is there anything you need, while most of my people are still up?"The young Elf considered, looking around."Perhaps ... a pitcher of water, and glasses?" Of course." Shanna turned to the woman behind her. "Brygitta, could you go to the kitchen?"The woman's expression said all, but she nodded to Shanna and left on her task. Shanna sighed. You could not blame them for the hate. Not after all that had happened. Not after one of their own had died for these Elves. BECAUSE of these Elves. Shanna.
