Chapter 8

I got back to my room with Zagi leading the entire way. I was still trying to figure out this honeycomb maze of brick that everyone here called home. I wasn't any closer to figuring it all out by the time Zagi and I got to my door. Zagi hefted the slumbering Tiz a little higher on his shoulder to adjust her slipping form. He turned to me and a funny look crossed his face, like he wanted to say something or do something old fashioned. I held up a hand to stop whatever chivalrous gesture he was going to act out in front of my door.

"Thank you Zagi." I smiled as his brows knitted together in confusion. Zagi shrugged and hiked the slipping, slumbering Tiz back into place on his shoulder again.

"I didn't really do anything."

"Are you kidding? I have no idea how to get around here. I wouldn't know where the heck to go if it weren't for Tiz." I said gesturing to the sweet little bundle as she huddled her face deeper into his neck.

"How bout I show you where everything is tomorrow then?" he suggested to me open ended.

"Are you sure? I mean I would love to but only if you aren't busy…I don't want to interfere with your duties to Thor." Zagi smiled and shook his head at me.

"Don't worry about Thor. He wants you to feel at home here now. You know that."

I nodded knowing somewhere inside me that he was right; that I should get used to this planet and start living. I was never going to get back to my colony and I knew it. But hope is a deceitful bitch that likes to have your emotions on a yo-yo.

"Alright." I agreed as I opened my door to find I almost smashed the door into Yui's face. I startled and stepped back and Zagi moved as if to step in front of me. It was heroic but grating to my pride. No man had to protect me. I protected myself. That was the only way to survive.

Men lied.

I shook my head.

I needed to stop that, Chimera was not Genesis Damnit! I would not bring my prejudices here to the very people that saved me.

"Yui! What the heck!" Zagi shouted and Yui startled.

"Uh, sorry I was looking for Remi I brought her dinner but she wasn't in the room. I was just about to go out looking for her." Yui said with a side long glance at me. I was just getting all sorts of male attention I just really didn't need recently. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair as I walked into my room.

"Yui I appreciate you bringing my dinner to me and Zagi I will definitely take you up on that offer of showing me around tomorrow. I however, need my shut eye just like Tiz there." I smiled at them both as I shut my door. I sighed as I leaned back against the door. Sliding to the floor I listened to the men outside my door mumble and walk away. 'I don't know what I am going to do with those two.' I heaved another sigh. 'This is bad, they both have feelings toward me from what I could see and if what Thor and Chen had told me about the month of joining was true, then I am going to have a rough time of it in the coming week…'
