“I do, My Father,” he replied, quietly.ĭaar ducked his head approvingly, then gestured Adam onto the array platform. Part of his initiation into the Clan had been their subtle signs and shibboleths-duck-nodded seriously. The technician-Whitecrest, Adam realized. “Yuh.” Daar turned and nodded at the array technician. He’d gone for nice slacks and a well-fitted shirt. “Well, you said to…?” Adam pointed out, confused. Tennis balls didn’t last long enough near Doofus. It was seriously riding that weirdly canine line Gao sometimes hit, like Doofus got when somebody had a tennis ball in their hand. The murderbearemperor didn’t stop nearly vibrating with eager energy, though. “Right! Right…” Daar let go, and Adam took the sudden fall with a well-practiced bounce on the balls of his feet. You had to know him pretty well to notice it, but he had that poised energy in his muscles, and Adam could feel that energy almost vibrating through the big guy, even being hoisted like three meters off the ground for Doom Snuggles.Īdam did what he knew best (since he couldn’t breathe just then) and quirked an eyebrow. “Hey Cousin!!” Adam wasn’t even completely over the slight disorientation of jump travel, or from the sudden change in scenery, when the king dino-bear himself rolled over to greet him with a happy tackle and a fierce crush that, honestly, was pretty expertly tuned to ride the line between extremely affectionate and suddenly fatal. Being met right off the platform was…new. He’d been at a charity ball or something.īut normally, when he called for Adam, that meant Adam was gonna go to his office or meet him at whatever garden or worksite he was currently at. Groomed and perfect today, even more than usual. Unusually, Daar was waiting for him at the jump array.
