Just continuing with the SF story, Kaleo is meeting Aneirin’s brother for the first time

Rhisart grinned at the impertinence, shaking his head. “Just what do you expect from my brother?”

Kaleo sat back, and Aneirin was equally shocked by the question. Kaleo ran his fingers through his short hair, an unconscious action which made Aneirin’s pulse leap. Damn it all to hell. He should kick Pherick in the star clusters for giving him such a temptation.

“I don’t know. I hope he keeps his words and doesn’t send me back for reconditioning. I expect he will decide to use me as a Toy, even if he says he won’t.” Kaleo twisted in the chair so he could study Aneirin. “Maybe he won’t. I don’t know him well yet, but I do know people aren’t as good as they pretend. That can’t just be in the slums, can it?”

Rhisart frowned. “I wish I could say yes.”
