full moon rising on the waters of my soul
Although it was sweet of Amalia to offer Amun a place to say, it was also completely unnecessary. ”Don’t worry, kitty. I’ll get out of your hair.” He gave her a cocky grin. ”Or is that fur? Anyway, I’ll be fine on my own.” While he’d spent most of his life on a crew, he was equally comfortable forging his own way ahead. And, no offense to her, the quiet and shy baker didn’t seem like the type to introduce the potter to the types of people who’d like to have a good time. Which was ironic, because she was actually exactly the person to do that, what with the drugs and joining a criminal gang.
As he gave Jyo—which was apparently the glowing sky whale’s name, though apparently they were called starwhales, which was appropriate enough—some more affectionate rubs, the Ascended glanced at Amalia, not sure exactly what she meant by her comments. ”No, they don’t do anything but swim, and eat, and surface to breathe.” He gave her a brilliant smile. ”Well, that and sing to one another.” Technically it was calling to other whales, but it sounded like music to Amun’s ears. ”Can Jyo travel through time?” If so, that would be a useful trick.
Maybe he could warn himself not to step out of his hut earlier that evening. Though that would be far too easy a solution, even he knew that. Besides, he didn’t know the way home, so he wouldn’t know where to send the little starwhale.
