CHAPTER TWO
John could swear that his ears were burning, either that or throbbing. Rubbing at them he muttered which caused Chiana to look up," What the frell are you doing?" John looked up and replied as he itched his ear,
" Itching my ears, it tends to happen to us humans when someone is talking about us." This comment only caused Chiana to peer curiously at his ears, John flapped his hands about muttering," Aw quit staring at them."
Rygel zoomed around the corner," For Yotz sake would you two grow up. In case you hadn't notice we have a new visitor."
John raised his eyebrows," Visitor? No-one care to let Chi and I know."
Rygel smirked," Perhaps thats because this visitor seems to know Aeryn from her Peacekeeper days, perhaps she wanted him all to herself if you know what I mean, hey John?"
Chiana threw the nearest food cube at Rygel and remarked," Oh frell off." Looking over at John she attempted reassurance," Hey, don't worry John. I'm sure it's nothing like that."
John stood up, shrugged," So what if it is? Not like her and I have anything anymore, she wants nothing to do with me in that way anymore so why worry?" Chiana sat watching his back as he wandered off down the tier.
IN THE TRANSPORT HANGAR .....
Aeryn waited as the doors opened, smiling slightly as a pair of very familiar green eyes along with a face grinned at her. Walking up she nodded," Good seeing you Telyn."
Telyn smiled," Same here Aeryn. Been too long."
Aeryn walked over to his prowler, inspected it and frowned," How the dren are you surviving out here in this thing?" Telyn smirked so Aeryn simply remarked," Must be either sheer brilliance or immense stupidity."
Leaving the prowler, she asked," Hungry?"
" Starved."
Aeryn wandered out the door and shouted," Follow me." Telyn shook his head, following closely before he commented," Same old Aeryn."
***********
John whistled before singing lightly," Yoohoo Noranti, old woman. Come out come out wherever you are."
Frowning as she didn't suddenly appear from somewhere, he sighed knowing he couldn't get anything to sooth his thoughts of Aeryn but also he didn't dare think about what she was up to. After the last view of what she did in her private time, he did not want to see that anytime soon.
" So John, feeling any better?"
Spinning on his heel, he grinned," Scorppyyyy! Why is it when I'm simply minding my own business wandering the tiers of Moya, you appear? I swear I got to get you a bell for around your neck!"
" I do not think so John, I believe that Officer Sun has an old friend aboard Moya?"
" What about it?"
Scorpius prowled around John before he explained slowly," I believe his name is Captain Telyn Le'vac, hmm many decorations for his many deeds on the Peacekeeper's behalf. Ah yes I believe he served with Aeryn some time ago, her commanding officer no less and what's this?"
John crossed his arms and gestured with his hand for Scorpius to hurry up," Many rumours have been heard about how close he and Aeryn actually got, as you see well they were never very shy about their obvious attraction to one another. Hmm after Aeryn disappeared his record of service deterioated until he faced many disciplinary actions."
John attempted to look indifferent but Scorpius leaned in close and said slowly," He stood up for Aeryn against her fellow Peacekeepers when they insulted her, leading him to be brought forth to a disciplinary committee when he openly declared his hatred for the Peacekeeper ways and how he thought Peacekeeper's should be abolished, thus leading to his exile out here."
Tutting slowly," This does not bode well John, imagine the trouble he could bring not only to us but to you as well."
With that he left John alone and vanished.
***********
Sikozu peeked her head inside the new prowler, eyes lighting up as many contraptions met her eyes. One problem with Officer Sun was she never shared her prowler and Sikozu had not had the opportunity to satisfy her curiousity. Muttering to herself, she suddenly froze as she heard from behind her.
" And what the frell do you think you are doing?"
Looking back, she smiled innocently at the annoyed face of D'argo," Oh nothing, I was merely looking for well research."
" Move away from the prowler, do not touch, do not look. That is here until that Peacekeeper can fix it then it is off Moya."
Sikozu placed her hands on her hips and argued," Just because you are Captain of Moya does not make you the Captain of me."
" And as Captain of Moya I have the right to say whether or not that prowler is to be touched or not as it poses a danger to Moya. So stay the frell away from it."
***********
Rygel floated around Moya, smirking as his three stomachs were fully satisfied for now. He was safe in the knowledge that he unlike the others on Moya was not insane, he had watched John circle a tier of Moya at least six times, had seen Chiana looking around for John, watched as D'argo hauled Sizoku away from the transport hangar, and of course sat through the torture of the old woman singing.
Stopping at a door as he heard," So Aeryn what have you been doing with yourself?"
" You know, killing this killing that."
A chuckle could be heard," No use pulling that tough girl act with me Aeryn, remember I saw through it almost instantly."
" Yes I know. I have been well exploring the world, meeting new people, having friends and experiencing what it's like to have someone and then not. A lot of things really, did I mention I died?"
Rygel's ears wiggled as he heard a sudden coughing fit, and a wheeze that resembled," You died?"
Aeryn's voice replied," Yep, you see John who you probably know better as Crichton was overtaken by the Scorpius clone in his head. He basically pushed John into fleeing, I pursued him and ended up in a frozen lake. A deceased friend of ours gave me life and here I am. And you Telyn? What makes you come all the way out here?"
" Now that is a long story."
" I have all the time in the world."
