Nicia (Sunita II), Sunita System.

Connell was impatiently waiting for them when they returned and climbed wearily down to the living levels.  “You’ve been gone for days,” he said, as soon as they walked into the common room.

“And hello to you, too,” Bedivere told him.  He threw himself down into the massage chair, stretched out and sighed, closing his eyes.

“You don’t want to say hello, first?”  Brant asked Connell.

“Hello.  Where have you been?” Connell demanded.

“Brent told you we were going to Van Andel,” Lilly said.  She bent over from the waist and slid her boots off, one at a time.  Then she wriggled her toes on the cool surface of the floor.

“Is your hair getting longer?” Brant asked, studying Connell.

Connell was staring at Lilly as she stretched and contorted her body, easing out kinks.  Her movements were doing interesting things to the business jump suit she was wearing.

“Connell!”  Brant said, more forcibly.

Connell tore his gaze away from Lilly and grinned.  He pushed his fingers through his long bangs, which hung down past his eyes when he left them alone.  “I thought I might try it.”

Bedivere snorted from the depths of his easy chair.  “Do you want to tell me again, Fareed, how sentients can’t hero worship?”

Brant tugged self-consciously at his long hair, tied neatly at the back of his head.

Lilly stop flexing.  “Connell, if you wanted longer hair, why didn’t you just make it long?  You can adjust your avatar in any way you want, can’t you?

Connell gazed at her.  “Humans can’t make their hair long overnight.  Why should I?”

“That’s a point,” Lilly said.

Catherine was standing at the concierge terminal, scrolling through messages and notifications.  “Connell, as much as I appreciate your enthusiasm and your company, and I do understand that this island is one of the few places where you can be yourself, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to visit unasked.  Humans don’t do it.  They ask first.”

Connell nodded vigourously.  “I understand, Catherine.  I’m sorry to barge in. Especially when you weren’t here.  But I really needed to talk to Bedivere.”

Bedivere didn’t open his eyes.  “We were on Van Andel,” he said.  “Not the Silent Sector.  You could have sent a message.”

“Too insecure,” Connell replied.  “Messages travel via conduits I don’t control.  But the one I’m using now to visit here is completely under my control.”

Bedivere cracked open one eye, to the merest sliver.  “I’m listening.”
