“Sure,” our two holograms said in tandem. “I can dance. I can perform all manner of—”

“Can you lap dance?” Zyod said.

I rolled my eyes. Typical.

I said, “I’m not sure they’re here to—”

“Yes, I can lap dance. Would you like to see me lap dance for you?”

Zyod turned to me with an arched eyebrow.

“You were saying?” he said. “Holograms, please show me your sexiest lap dances. Together, please.”

The holograms danced, running their hands over their voluptuous bodies and helping each other strip down to their underwear.

“Mr. G’kauah?” a deep female voice said. “A pleasure to meet you.”

It was Shrisa from the advert. She looked just as stunning in real life. If I didn’t know any better, I would have said she was the real inspiration for the “ideal composites” performing for Zyod.

“Uh, I would get up,” Zyod said, “but I’m a little… indisposed right now.”

The twin holograms ground on him.

I shook Shrisa’s hand.

“You can ignore him,” I said. “He came with me but he’s not here for the same reason I am.”

“Fortunately,” she said drily. “Please, follow me.”

She led me through a pair of automatic glass doors that hissed shut behind me. The hallway we stepped in was lavish and, to my eyes, overdone. It was a cheap building and by trying to be classy, the design came across tacky.

“Many men who come here think we’re a pleasure house,” Shrisa said. “We are anything but. If that’s what you’re looking for, I suggest you take Highway East to Xepi’s Choice. They have a fine selection of species and services that cater to every taste.”

“I’m not looking for… that kind of woman,” I said.

“Then what are you here for?” she said.

It felt like a test. If I answered wrong, they would refuse their service. I didn’t realize it would be so difficult.

I decided to tell the truth. Sort of.

“I want to find someone who I might marry one day,” I said.

Shrisa looked me over.

“Why do you need help with something of that nature?” she said. “You don’t seem like the kind of Titan who would have trouble in that area.”

“No,” I said. “But I’m looking for a very… particular type of partner.”

“Why not a female Titan?” she said, peering up at me through her eyelashes.

I gulped. Was she coming onto me?

“It’s pressure from my family,” I said. “And I’d like to date someone who they won’t have influence over.”

“Influence?”

“My family is very… influential,” I said.
