  21. Sure smoking is bad for you, but #SmokingBehindTheSupermarketWithYou is super cute and good for the soul.

    Sasaki is so damn dense, and Yamada/Tayama is delightful.

    Such a great #SliceOfLife #RomCom #anime. Excited to see how the season wraps up. 🤞😌

    Bel closed her eyes and began with great solemnity.

    “After Mai and Abel were married, they went to Equestria for their honeymoon where they were presented with two swift #horses.”

    The Culinary Princess smiled, thinking about Equestria’s milk and cheese. She’d made an excellent choice of places to go.

    “This was just what our crafty princess had hoped for. ‘Let’s race,’ Mai said looking at the horses.”

    “It was predestined that Mai would win, so no one but Xiaolei, who was eager for a rematch, and Abel, who wanted to please his new bride, wanted to race.”

    “With her usual cunning, the princess held back, taking up the rear. Everyone wondered when she would make her move. But her plot was deeper than anyone expected. The loose horseshoe she had noticed came off in the woods, forcing her to dismount.”

    “Prince Abel turned back to find her, only to be caught by nightfall. Meanwhile, Xiaolei won the race, restoring her pride as a horsewoman.”

    "See how cunning Mai is!" Kyle broke in.

    “But what was Mai’s deep plot, you ask?” Bel continued.

    “None other than spending a night alone with her loving husband. Searchers found them the next day, fast asleep in each other's arms [noodling].”

    “Sweet,” Yanna said.

    Anne, Mai’s maid, entered the room and, seeing the princess’s face, almost dropped the tea she'd brought. “Mistress, are you okay? Do you need a doctor? Your face is so red.” Indeed, it had the color of a ripe baneberry or the dab of scarlet lunberry preserve lodged at the corner of her mouth.

    “No, no, Anne. I’m fine,” Mai said and mentally noted, No horserace! Absolutely no horserace!

    [Fortunately, it wasn’t a future Mai could change. Canoodling preserved!]

    “That’s embarrassing,” Mai’s words slipped out, but she swallowed the rest of her thought, along with a healthy bite of toast slathered with Lunberry preserve. ... They'll think I was buying people’s loyalty,

    Her granddaughter, Bel, put down the copy of Elise’s newest book, “The History of the Great Sage, Part VII,” and smiled. “There’s no need to be modest, Grand… Mai. We already know how generous you are, and how much you care about each person individually. It would have been so easy to give the woodman money. Instead, you gave him something he’d treasure: the most advanced cooking pot available.”

    That was, of course, what Mai had done. It hadn’t been from a desire for rabbit stew or to avoid looking cheap. Oh no, she’d carefully chosen a personal gift with the woodman in mind.

    Bel turned to Yanna, Kyle, and Patty, asking, “Would you like to hear a truly embarrassing story about Mai?”

    The princess was about to object, but the excited faces of the three children, especially Patty's usually joyless one, stopped her.

    “It’s about the race Mai held on her honeymoon,” Bel said.

    “But Mai hasn’t married Prince Abel yet?” Yanna said, puzzled.

    “It takes place in the future… I mean... I made up that part,” Bel temporized.

    Oh, ho ho, Mai thought. I hope this is romantic. She took another bite of her preserve-smeared bread and waited.

    “Yes, please,” the three children said.

  30. "Nnnnggrrraaaaaa..."

    The black-furred stellar foxtaur let out a satisfied sigh as shi rose back up fully from her stretch. It had been a long shift, and while shi didn't have to climb into the maintenance tubes hirself, shi still found it hard to completely let go of the day-to-day work, even a year later after hir promotion.

    Shucking hir uniform tunic, shi grabbed one of hir casual tees laying on the back of the couch in hir quarters and slipped it on. Some other officers preferred their uniforms in their off-hours, in case they got called in for an emergency, but to Nexus, that was just for appearances; something shi never felt beholden to.

    Briefly shi glanced at the nearby floor-length mirror, to find a familiar golden-eyed feminine foxtaur looking back, vulpine ears inlaid with golden-fur perked between short, touseled black hair. Hir lanky feral-like lower body and humanoid upper body was the end result of centuries of genetic engineering that had first led to the chakats, then to hir kind. There was still plenty of genetic variance though, and though some might think it unfortunate shi was not as... gifted, in the chest, as others of hir breed, it still suited hir fine. Shi'd always preferred a more gender-neutral look anyways, fitting hir dual-gendered nature.
    Hir Companion, on the other paw, preferred outfits that put hir own feminine attributes on display...

    Feeling a slight stirring at the thoughts of hir lovely chakat Swiftwind, Nexus firmly pushed those images out of hir mind. It was a few hours yet until Swift would be off-duty, so THAT would have to wait.

    Looking around hir quarters, hir eyes settled on the pink-and-white bass guitar that shi had gotten for hir birthday a few years ago. Handmade, not replicated, and a part of hir still wondered how many credits Swiftie had spent on it. More importantly though, shi had acquired a new set of sheet music last week that shi had yet to try, but things had been too busy since then.

    "Computer, holodeck status?" Nexus requested as shi padded over, tail waving slowly in anticipation of the answer. While shi was looking forward to that private time with hir Companion, a good piece of classical metal always got hir blood pumping.

    "Holodecks 1 and 3 are occupied. Holodeck 2 is open until 19:30 hours," the pleasantly female voice replied with a slight purr. Most ships shi had served on had tweaked their shipboard computer's voice in various ways, and hir current captain had opted for a Caitian overlay. You could always override it for personal use, but Nexus preferred to stick to the defaults others used. How else would an engineer pre-emptively spot problems with it after all?

    "Computer, reserve Holodeck 2 until 18:00, and preload program Stellar Karaoke." As it chimed in acknowledgement, shi grabbed hir guitar and turned hirself to go. That would give hir some time to try out this new composition, get a quick meal, then spend some nice long quality time with Swift.

    Then tomorrow it would be back to the grind, but that's just the life of a Star Fleet engineer!

    Looking around hir quarters, hir eyes settled on the pink-and-white bass guitar that shi had gotten for hir birthday a few years ago. Handmade, not replicated, and a part of hir still wondered how many credits Swiftie had spent on it. More importantly though, shi had acquired a new set of sheet music last week that shi had yet to try, but things had been too busy since then.

    "Computer, holodeck status?" Nexus requested as shi padded over, tail waving slowly in anticipation of the answer. While shi was looking forward to that private time with hir Companion, a good piece of classical metal always got hir blood pumping.

    "Holodecks 1 and 3 are occupied. Holodeck 2 is open until 19:30 hours," the pleasantly female voice replied with a slight purr. Most ships shi had served on had tweaked their shipboard computer's voice in various ways, and hir current captain had opted for a Caitian overlay. You could always override it for personal use, but Nexus preferred to stick to the defaults others used. How else would an engineer pre-emptively spot problems with it after all?

    "Computer, reserve Holodeck 2 until 18:00, and preload program Stellar Karaoke." As it chimed in acknowledgement, shi grabbed hir guitar and turned hirself to go. That would give hir some time to try out this new composition, get a quick meal, then spend some nice long quality time with Swift.

    Then tomorrow it would be back to the grind, but that's just the life of a Star Fleet engineer!

  33. "Nnnnggrrraaaaaa..."

    The black-furred stellar foxtaur let out a satisfied sigh as shi rose back up fully from her stretch. It had been a long shift, and while shi didn't have to climb into the maintenance tubes hirself, shi still found it hard to completely let go of the day-to-day work, even a year later after hir promotion.

    Shucking hir uniform tunic, shi grabbed one of hir casual tees laying on the back of the couch in hir quarters and slipped it on. Some other officers preferred their uniforms in their off-hours, in case they got called in for an emergency, but to Nexus, that was just for appearances; something shi never felt beholden to.

    Briefly shi glanced at the nearby floor-length mirror, to find a familiar golden-eyed feminine foxtaur looking back, vulpine ears inlaid with golden-fur perked between short, touseled black hair. Hir lanky feral-like lower body and humanoid upper body was the end result of centuries of genetic engineering that had first led to the chakats, then to hir kind. There was still plenty of genetic variance though, and though some might think it unfortunate shi was not as... gifted, in the chest, as others of hir breed, it still suited hir fine. Shi'd always preferred a more gender-neutral look anyways, fitting hir dual-gendered nature.
