And another snippet this morning:
Quote:
SNIPPET:
He took a hard breath, unaware that he stood as if rooted to the dock until Clarence O'Berin turned and looked back to him.
"Are ye well, then, laddie?" His voice was softer in Terran, the words lilting.
Jen Sin took a hard breath, blinked his eyes clear of a sudden mist. He made himself move, to walk down the dock to the tall pilot's side.
"I am well, thank you," he said in his much less pleasing Terran. "Only, it has been -- a long shift."
