Back

For #WritersCoffeeClub shameless self-promotion today, I got a wee excerpt of the next season of #HeraldPetrel I wrote today:

“Do you feel up for a little walk back to base?”

“Don’t you want to rest and sleep first?”

To that remark of hers she heard the sweetest sound in the world. Gengra laughed her loud, resounding, boisterous laughter.

“I can sleep when I’m dead, Sarge. I just need a bit of that.” The sound of a wooden spoon scraping remnants of stew from the bowl told Hertaki what her comrade had meant. “Then I am good to go. Was more thinking about you. Do you want to sleep first? I will take the watch, don’t you worry.”

“Don’t you remember that you have left me alone for hours? If I get more rest, fittacs will grow up my shanks. Ready when you are.”

“Fine!”

The scraping continued until Hertaki was sure that not even the raspy tongue of a rhogar could find any more leftover stew in the bowl. She doubted it was enough for Gengra to feel even remotely satisfied but they would for sure get something to eat at Sheila’s camp. Truth be told, she could use a good sleep but it would be far better to get that in the relatively safety of the camp, guarded by other members of their squad so Genra got some good rest as well. Perhaps after they had satisfied some other needs together.

“Ready!” Gengra announced with a hearty burp. “Are you coming or not?”
