Kael got winded pushing Snowflake in the wheelchair, and said, "Let's take a break." Narchi shrugged. "Fine with me! I'm starting to get a calf cramp. Aw MAN, this is killing me!" Snowflake said, "Means your body is low on calcium. You need more. Drink some milk. How is your new left arm to go with your new legs?" Narchi said, "Fine. I have physical therapy scheduled for all this week since I got out of the regen tube. The Doctors were pretty shocked at my rapid regeneration! They said it'd be SIX weeks, not just a couple of days! It must have been Toxic's blood that activated dormant genes that Doctor Moderaan put in me. My arm and leg hurt less than what you guys told me." Snowflake said softly, "We Cyclops do not lie. To ourselves or to others. Inspector General Hera Kragg asked me questions. I answered them to the best of my abilities. I thought you needed to know, even if Neblae is too embarrassed or shameful to tell you. She came back to soon, and wasn't in her right mind. It was a ...software glitch. So to speak." "I just wish we could have talked about it before things fell on us. She lost the baby. I didn't know what to say. I was devastated. SHE was devastated. We ...pulled apart. She said she'd take care of the burial in her village. She stayed and and I came back." He trailed off, overwhelmed by his emotions. Snowflake sighed tiredly. Kael said, "We people, without inbuilt communicators... just do not talk enough. The Cyclops talk to each other all the time. That's why they don't lie. No point to fibbing if everyone already knows the truth. You need to talk to Neblae about what happened when the bomb went off... Ah crap. Hi, Neblae!" Snowflake looked over at Neblae who stood there with the blood drained from her face, like she had been shot. Snowflake said calmly, "Neblae, Narchi knows. We all love you and understand what happened. You were NOT in your right mind when it happened." Neblae bowed to Narchi and whispered with her face looking dark and tormented. "I'm sorry. Narchi, I'm some kind of of MONSTER. You must hate me more than I hate myself for blaming you for anything. I am SO SORRY." Narchi stood there, suddenly at a loss for words. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright. You're forgiven. Anything else?" She stood up, looking shocked. "What?" He said, "I bound my heart and love to you when we jumped the broom together. For better or worse, for ever and ever? I'm not happy about it, but I DO understand the pain and the madness it gave. I fully expected to die when I severed that detonation conduit. I was looking forward to it. I hurt so much inside, I just wanted it to end." He looked at her with his eyes tearing up, "If you can forgive me for attempting suicide in my own mind... I can forgive you." He shrugged. She walked up to him and hugged him, while he rested his head on her shoulder. Snowflake said, "If you two pull this kind of crap again, I'll have Toxic use her 'Holy Bitch-slapping power of awesomeness' on BOTH of you! Rose says that you are missing a good party for Sunny. Do you want her to save any cake for you or Narchi? Toxic has something that will, 'Eat you head! Eat it now...nom-nom-nom.' Unquote. Weird." Neblae and Narchi looked over at Snowflake and burst out laughing. Kael asked, "'Eat you head'? What?" Snowflake smiled broadly. "Love, you do NOT know Toxic! Period. You NEED to. She is one in a billion and then some!" Narchi smiled and stroked the side of Neblae's face. "Truer words NEVER spoken. Neblae, walk me back to my room. We need to talk in private." He looked over at Kael and Snowflake and said,"You're on your own. Don't do anything too naughty." Kael blushed and Snowy laughed. "My new internal organs would fall out! Goofballs!" The two couples went in their own directions. --TO BE CONTINUED!--
