When: Year 185, late spring (and onwards)
What: married life

[In the kitchen, Noric shouts through the door into the next room.]

Xavier, either you move this pile of books from where they are, or they will tragically find themselves knocked into the fire.

Really.

[sticks his head back around the door]

Really.

[eyebrow]

[:| ducks back into the kitchen.]

[pfft]

[clatter clatter.]

I'm not bringing you your food.

What? Why not?

Because your legs work just fine.

Nooooric.

No.

[sigh]

How cruel.

Yes, terribly cruel of me to make your dinner and make you get it yourself.

Exactly!

I'm eating outside.

[scrape, thump thump thump, out the back door.]

[collects his food before joining him outside]

[stretched out on the steps, watching the trees and draining his tsun away.]

[sits close to him]

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

Why do you stay in Lepus?

[frowns, but it's a thinking frown]

Where else would I go? I'm still a Lepus.

And I'm an Orion, on the other side of the continent.

Well, I don't want to compare, but Lepus and those who belong to Lepus are safe here. W--They are loyal, even when they cross the line. I don't know. I can't imagine living somewhere else. As painful as it can be here, it's not hopeless, not yet.

Eventually, Lepus will change. All the sacrifices, the experiments will be different. If I can make that happen, then I'm willing to stay.

[he's silent for a while]

So that's what you want?

[smiles]

I have high hopes, I know.
