“Who is giving you a massage?” Va’naar says darkly. “No one touches you except for us.”
“See what I have to put up with, Kuma?” Polly asks with a frustrated sigh. “This is why I need a break! Mommy can get a nice massage, spend the day at the spa or casino, and leave these two on diaper duty.”
Ca’lek’s ears bolt upright and he swiftly changes the subject. “So, a casino? That does sound promising. I wish we could help, but now's not a good time.”
I almost feel bad for being so insistent on requesting their presence for this mission, but when I think of how many repairs and upgrades we can make to the ship, I can’t let up too easily. “We would be vastly more successful if you came, you know this,” I wheedled hopefully.
“We agreed when I made you the new captain of the Golden Runner that my family came first now. I know being captain isn’t easy, you have to make decisions in the interest of the entire team. And this team,” he gestures towards Polly and Va’naar, “needs me here right now. So, I think it’s time for you to start shopping around, as Polly says.”
“Shopping around?” I ask, cocking my head, confused.
Va’naar leans forward. “I believe my primary is saying that it’s time for you to hire some fresh meat.”
