Princess Tsiprani invites everyone as guests to stay with her. She has many rooms in her palace, and they will all be available.
Jirawut sat down on the floor of the room. The atmosphere on the planet reminded him of the Japan he had planned to travel to with Namie after graduating and looking for work. He remembered the excitement of the trip, the anticipation, the unknowns. Now, though, he found himself wondering if he'd ever get off the world again. Ever had another adventure?
He felt a hand on his shoulder. "You okay?"
"Fine," he said gruffly.
Princess Tsiprani sat behind him and she held something small in her hand. In the light of the room, it glinted silver, like moonlight. Jirawut didn't look up.
"Would you like a drink? We have tea, water, fruit juice, wine... and some other things I don't want to mention."
"Water, please. Thank you."
She smiled. "Of course. It'll be ready soon."
