“Anyway, that accounts for his bright blue fur. I saw you…never mind.” She shook her head. “How did you know that?” “I saw it in a dream.” Liv blushed and looked down. “Only instead of green, most of the vegetation is blue.” “That’s right.” Baird looked up from where he was crouched on the floor, a startled expression on his chiseled features. Its large eyes closed and it made a sort of grunting purr as it submitted to his caress. “It’s a jungle planet with a helluva lot more scary animals than Bebo here.” He crouched down to scratch the little animal under its chin. He’s a zicther-an animal native to my home world, Rageron.” “Rageron?” Liv frowned, wondering why the name of his home planet evoked strange images in her head. “Bebo? What the hell is a Bebo?” Liv demanded, still keeping her distance from the bright blue teddy bear which was eyeing her mistrustfully. It’s just…I can’t believe you were scared of Bebo.” Baird laughed again. “Would you mind telling me what’s so damn funny?” “I’m sorry, Olivia. It was a deep, rumbling noise that came from the bottom of his chest and it might have been nice to hear if it wasn’t so obviously directed at her. Then, to her dismay, Baird began to laugh. She waited breathlessly for the murderous teddy bear to attack but nothing happened.
Liv couldn’t help noticing he moved with incredible speed for such a large man. “Where?” He turned at once, putting himself between her and the perceived threat.
But then it opened its mouth and it had these long, sharp-Omigod! There it is!” She pointed behind Baird where the bright blue teddy bear had suddenly appeared. “At first I thought it was cute and tried to pet it. “It was this little fuzzy blue thing that came at me when I was in the kitchen-what you called the food-prep area,” she clarified, seeing his confusion. Apparently the Kindred weren’t big into stuffed animals. “What did you say was chasing you?” Liz sighed in frustration.
