AUTHOR: Makiko
CATEGORY: Radio fic, 250 word first person POV
SPOILERS: None
SUMMARY: None
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: For the girls of the Mango.
*
Talyn tells me, *she is wild.*
He loves her as much as I do, and, like me, she was his first. She named him. She saved
him. She saved me. She feared him. She feared me.
And all of this is why I'll sit in his control room and I'll keep talking to him, because I
only want him to feel it a little at a time.
*She's with Crichton,* he says.
I tell him I know that. I tell him a story about this Tasco freighter captain with a lisp, and
it bores me too.
*You want her,* he says. He lets me see them a little.
I have her, I tell him, because envy's something too.
*I love her,* he says, but he's just trying it out.
And I start another story about this time my unit raided a Nebari research moon, but I
stop halfway.
He wants to feel something, might as well let him have this too.
