“They do seem strange,” Light agreed.
“Wear them or don’t but you must make up your mind soon,” the head guard told them. “f’loon will be making their appearance at any moment.”
This seemed to decide Lili—it was clear she really didn’t want to meet someone she idolized completely naked. Or she might as well be naked now that all her clothing was see through, Dark thought.
“All right,” she said at last. “But is there someplace private I can put them on?”
“We have a cloak room to one side where guests and visitors may leave their heavy outer mantles during the cold seasons.” The head guard pointed to a small door set into the round, silver wall.
“All right—thank you.” Lili headed for the door but Dark and Light were right behind her.
“Guys, it’s all right,” she said, turning to face them. “I’m sure I can manage on my own.”
Light frowned.
“Don’t sacrifice your safety for modesty, Lilibet.”
“Light’s right,” Dark growled. “We don’t know who or what else is in there and besides, Light and I have already seen your beautiful breasts and tight nipples.”
“Dark!” Light gave him a nudge that let him know he’d said too much.
Dark frowned.
“What? It’s true—when the ship got tilted, remember?”
“I’m not likely to forget,” Light said dryly. “But neither is Lilibet and I’m sure it’s an embarrassing memory for her.”
“Why?” Dark was mystified. “She saw us completely naked—why is it embarrassing for us to see her breasts?”
“It just is,” Lili answered for him. She looked at the head guard, who was waiting impatiently. “Is anyone else in there?”
“Negative,” the head guard buzzed. “During the warm seasons, the room is not utilized. It is empty.”
“Good—then I’m going to go in by myself,” Lili emphasized, frowning up at them. “You boys guard the door. I’ll be out in a minute.”
“As you wish.” Light nodded.
Dark wasn’t nearly as content to wait outside. He wanted to protest, but it was clear he was going to be overruled.
“All right,” he growled at last. “But let us know if you need us or you have a problem.”
“I promise I will,” Lili said. Then she stepped through the door and closed it behind her, leaving him and Light to wait.
“I don’t like this,” Dark muttered. “I don’t think those things are safe!”
“The head guard said they give them out to female guests all the time,” Light pointed out.
“Yeah, but what kind of females? Stick-insects like the Chulaz?” Dark demanded. “Look at their skin—it’s as tough as bark! And you know how soft and sensitive Lili is. Every part of her sweet, curvy body is?—”
At that moment both of them heard a scream from the other side of the door.
“Oh my God, what in the world? Get off me! Get out of me!”

LILI
Lili stepped into the empty cloak room, which was lined with small metal lockers, not unlike something you might see in a modern museum back on Earth, she thought. There were hooks on the walls to hang things on and also benches to sit on.
