Daniel passed me the plate of sushi. I
waved it off. “Try the small ones. They are just crab with rice wrapped in
seaweed,” he suggested.
“No thanks. I don’t eat anything that
might bite me on the way down.” We were at his place now. It was comfortable –
lots of colorful pillows and low furniture. Daniel seemed to live on the floor.
Even if there was a chair available, he tended to crash on the lowest surface
in the room.
“Are you going to GTD this year?” he
asked, as he stuffed a sushi roll in his mouth.
GTD is Galactic Treaty Day for those of
you who are planet bound. It is celebrated throughout the Verse. The date never
changes on Valaria (where the original treaty was signed), but it may shift on
other planets due to the planet’s cycle - check your calendar.
