Shayla-Shayla's confusion was interrupted by the sound of an individual applause.
Blushing furiously, she turned and looked to see Afura standing there, smirk plastered across her face as she clapped casually.
"Wow," she said. "That has got to be the most intense masturbation anybody has ever heard of. Until I came in the door, I thought you'd snuck someone into the observation station somehow."
"There was," Shayla-Shayla said face a brilliant shade of red.
"I've been watching since you tore your own shirt in the throes of passion," Afura said. "Even got me a little hot, but nobody was here except you and me."
"But it was Nanami..." Shayla-Shayla said.
Afura's mouth dropped open and stared at the red-head before making a sound half between a choke and a chortle.
"You were fantasizing over Nanami?!" she said. "That's rich. You competed for boys with Nanami before she went poof. Now you're having delusions of screwing her?"
"It was so real," the red-head said.
"I'm sure it was," Afura noted. "Now, if you'll excuse me, Shayla-Shayla, while you get yourself washed off and dressed, I'm going to search our food stores to see if Fatora or Alielle slipped anything into them last time they were here."
She left the bathroom with something of a repressed giggle as an embarrassed Shayla moved to the shower and tossed aside her ruined t-shirt.
It was half an hour later when Shayla was walking out of the bathroom. Afura snickered and waved at her from the observation deck and then paused as Shayla took a turn ahead walked resolutely toward the launch bay.
Arching her eyebrows, Afura stood up from her station.
"Where are you going, Shayla?" she asked.
"I've got to go," the red-head said. "Nanami's in trouble."
"Nanami's been missing for five years or more," Afura said, moving to try and catch up with Shayla. "And you have one vivid daydream and now you want to play white knight?"
"I don't know, all right?" Shayla responded. "I just know I have to go."
"Where?" Afura asked, moving around in front of Shayla.
"That direction," Shayla said certainly before repeating a heading.
"Okay, I can take the sudden fashion shifts," Afura noted. "I can accept the sudden sexual fantasies about other women. Like I said, it isn't the first time certain individuals have slipped aphrodisiacs into the supplies. But I'm not going to sit here and let you go off into a random direction in space to go save someone most of our friends think is dead."
"Get out of my way, Afura," Shayla said. "I'll burn you if I have to."
"Wind beats fire, Shayla," Afura warned. "I'm not letting you go."
"And then the station is trashed and we're both in trouble," Shayla noted. "And I beat you down with my fists and still go."
Afura straightened herself up and took a deep breath.
"Okay, look," she said. "We need more supplies soon anyway. We'll set the observatory on automatic and head out for a supply run...in that direction. I think there are a couple agriculture colonies that way anyway. You apparently desperately need a vacation. Sound good?"
"We're going then?" Shayla asked.
"But," Afura said. "We're coming back as soon as we have food and if we don't find any sign of Nanami, in danger or otherwise. Then we're stopping at Rushtaria on the way back and you're getting a check up."
"Fine," Shayla said. "Let's just go."
The red-head swished on by, looking over her shoulder after a moment and down toward her but.
"Am I supposed to have a tail?" she asked.
"Tai..let's just get this over with," Afura said. "Prep the launch, I'll set the auto-systems."
Under her breath she muttered.
"I swear, if I find one trace of mind-altering drugs, the little pervert is getting it, I don't care how cute she is."
