She went home early that night, as her comm had been buzzing off the hook urgently from Iridonia. More drama. Same story different day. "You're a horrible mother, your son wants his father..his 'real' father and stop trying to pawn off that human male as a father. Oh and by the way, you haven't married him have you yet?" This all from her supposed in-laws of a tai'shan that has been MIA since April. They still had faith he was out there lurking in the shadows but she knew better. She could feel he was gone. If her gut was wrong the only explanation she had was that he was out there but he had no clue who she was or who his family was. Hers or Jazmine's. Did it matter? If he came back, if...if...he would need to go back to Iridonia first. He owed that to his first born son.
She flopped on her bed and kicked her boots off. A trail of sand flew into the air, coming within inches of her gurrcat. She winced and smiled as the cat came towards her stopping short of the bed. She rubbed along the side of the bed shaking it with her massive bulk, showing her love for her owner. Lula propped her feet up on the gurrcat as a loud purring noise emitted from her. She grabbed the remote still stuck under the pillow to her left and stared up at the ceiling. She filed through hundreds of holovids trying to find the right one. Finally she stopped, her eyes danced as she watched the series of events unfold before her. A brightly lit cantina with dozens of friends laughing and telling stories. On the stage a few men shook and danced making a spectacle of themselves. She zoomed the camera in on one of them laughing hard. Her face became bright and her eyes danced. As they lip synced to a song as she giggled, causing the gurrcat to again stir. This time she took it upon herself to climb up on the bed with Lula. The bed sunk for a moment then stabilized to accommodate for the cat's massive size. She looked over at the cat and laughed. "Chunky kitty," she mumbled. She finally fell asleep watching that one face dance and sing curled up next to her gurrcat.
