Thoughts
If only I knew what she was thinking. She never tells anyone anything. She is so secretive, so possessive of her thoughts. Damn those Peacekeepers! They made her like this. Christ, they frelling drilled into her head that emotions are evil. She won't let me get close to her. And that is all I want, just to get close to her. God of only I knew what she was thinking! If only I knew if she felt even a little for me the way I feel for her. She would never tell me if I asked. I so wish I was telepathic.
"Crichton, commerce planet ahead." Pilot announced over the comms.
"Thanks Pilot." Maybe I should buy her some thing. We all have some extra money that we get to spend after we buy our food. But what would she want. Well besides an extra pulse pistol. Because there is no way in hell that I'm getting her another pulse pistol. What would she like, I've been around her for one cycle, I should know this. But of course I don't because she is not the one to open up and share. Who should I ask?
Ten microts later
Oh this is a bad idea. Very bad idea. "Hey Pip! I got a question for you. If I wanted to buy an ex-Peacekeeper a gift what would I buy?" Oh that's none to obvious.
"What do you mean?"
Ah, meet Chiana the brightest of them all! "Well I want to buy Aeryn something nice from the commerce planet and I don't know what to buy her because unfortunately I can't read her mind, so I'm asking you if you have any idea what she would like." To put it easily.
"I got that part Crichton, I'm not stupid! But honestly I have no idea what she would want. All though you're right it is a shame that you can't read minds." She replied with an interesting look on her face.
"Chi, what are you thinking? And if it's nasty stop thinking it." John said with a smile. Oh god what trouble have I gotten myself into this time.
"I'm not thinking nothing Mr. Suspicious" She mumbled under her breath as she walked away. Okay that didn't work…and I'm still stuck with the question of what she would want. Maybe I should ask Zhaan. Well it's worth a try.
"Zhaan! Hey, if I was a gift given to Aeryn that she loved, what would I be?" Well that's a little confusing. Hope her translator microbes could handle it ok
"A pulse pistol?" She commented a playful smile crossing her face "why?"
"I knew the pulse pistol one already Zhaan. I mean something else; I refuse to give her another weapon." He replied smiling. I knew pulse pistol already, it was my first guess.
"Understandable. But Crichton why do you want to give Aeryn a gift?"
"No reason in particular. I just want to give her something. So you have any ideas on what she would like?"
"Honestly, besides a pulse pistol I'm not all that sure." Zhaan said with a tiny smile.
"Oh come on, think harder. Think! God I have no idea what would please her and apparently no else has any ideas either." He replied getting a little frustrated. Why is she the way she is? But I'll wait; I'm patient, I'll figure her out.
"So you want to buy her something but it can't be any weaponry?"
"Right"
"Great that cancels out all my ideas." Zhaan said with a thoughtful look still covering her face. Then her face lit up like she had seen the goddess herself. "Well what about buying her some Raslack or Fellip Nectar?"
