Rock Danger stirred, warm and content despite a relatively restless night. He opened his eyes and stared up at the soft darkness of the ceiling, unease coiling in his stomach. Blue light rippled above him, reflections from the planet of Caralis currently visible through Felix's Navarch's window. They'd claimed the man's bed for the night, Felix's room having been renovated to accomodate Kai. Rock always found it surprising how easygoing a man as powerful as Jake Lawrence was.
The canid called Max had left them after about an hour, which had honestly been quite a relief. He was pleasant company, but there was a frenetic anxiousness to him that had burrowed under Rock's skin and stayed there.
There was something going on with the Mordena and it was none of his business.
He had visited the Ambition several times now, and each time people had been welcoming and kind. And they had been this time too, but there was something different about it. A tightness to their smiles and a shadow in their eyes.
Except Felix.
He turned his head on the pillow to see green eyes glinting back at him in the darkness. Rock wondered if the cat ever let his guard down.
