Which means Fifth will be here soon, but I guess I’ll survive. Twelfth will go just after the signing ceremony and be replaced by Sixth, and then Third will be replaced by Seventh, Second by Eighth and so on. First and Fourth are the long-term Muinan assignment for the moment, mainly for the cause of keeping me somewhere it seems the Nurans can’t go.

So irrelevant to me now, but I’d studied for them!

I’m getting better at not picturing them having sex, but I’m always going to be aware that there’s history there.
