It was well after dark when Deej finally returned. Dar-Amon had actually made a little more progress on the screen as the male argonian had put him back in the window when he kept mewling towards it. However, he had to be careful not to alert him to what he was doing.

The two argonians greeted each other with a hug and Deej took Dar-Amon off the window and he let her pet him for awhile as the two settled into their bed for the night.

Skalen patted the bed beside him, asking his mate, "How did work go?"

"Busy. They expect to go out again tomorrow afternoon so we've been prepping the ship both inside and out. Some crazy argonian tried to sabotage her, and they said something about a khajiit that tried to do the same thing. Can you believe it? We had to go through every damn system making sure all the valves and controls were back in their proper place. It was a mess!"

"Oh, I heard! We had a new group of recruits in to to do ballast training and they were all talking about it. She came over with them, but they didn't know her. The altmer seem to think she and the khajiit are working for Elsweyr."

"I sure hope not! That would mean they know about the ship! We're supposed to be secret. If word gets out we'll probably all be out of a job."

"I know."

"Say Skalen, do you ever wonder what they're doing when we're out at sea? They never let the crew see anything. Just order us around."

"Oh, I've wondered plenty. Those tubes they launch seem to be the main purpose. And you say the whole ship vibrates afterwards?"

"Oh yeah! Violently! I thought she was coming apart! One of the compartments completely filled with a burst bulkhead before the argonians inside managed to patch it and pump out the water. If there were any altmer in there at the time, they'd be drowned. It was a huge shake to do that, I promise you! I still think it was some sort of explosion."

"Well, they never told us that we'd know all their secrets. Still glad we joined?"

Deej crawled on top of Skalen and they touched tongues. "As long as I can live with you here, I'm fine."

Dar-Amon decided now might be a good time to return to his blanket-bed and he padded off across the floor, unnoticed.

"Yeah. Me too. But this may not last forever."

"Don't say that. You'll jinx it."

"I hope you're right, but if we ever get pregnant, we should go back to the Hist anyway."

Deej wrapped her tail around her mate's tail tightly. "That would be awfully nice. Wanna try again?"

"Forever I want to!" Skalen smiled and she snuffed out the candle with her fingers deftly.

Dar-Amon had been watching, fascinated. The biologist in him was suddenly alert. While argonian bodies had been prodded and examined plenty, as far as he could tell, no one of any other race had ever actually seen argonians copulate - and the argonians wouldn't talk about it.

Though the candle was out, and the room was certainly dark to any human or argonian eyes, his khajiit eyes had plenty of light from the moonbeams coming in through the window. They might as well have been kissing under direct sun to the gaze of a khajiit. And if he might have some not-quite-so-pure reasons to watch them as well, he still convinced himself he wasn't being some common voyeur. He was doing it for science!

Two hours later, the argonians finally parted for the last time - Skalen rolling back to lie beside Deej on the bed.

"Damn, Deej. You were fantastic! Something gotten into you?"

"Just you, Skal. Just you. Maybe if you let me have a pet more often, you'd get more of this!"

"Lady, I don't think I could take much more of you! I swear I felt you up to my chest!"

"Heh. Same! I could feel you under my scales. I bet one of us is pregnant this time!"

"I almost hope not. I want to do that again tomorrow night."

"Hell with tomorrow night, I'll wake you up in the morning!"

"I dare you!" he said and leaned over her.

The two argonians opened their mouths wide to apply their tongues to each other's, before professing their mutual love. A few minutes passed, then Deej nudged Skalen.

"Skalen?"

"Yeah?" he replied sleepily.

"I think something's wrong with Mekal."

"The cat? Why?"

"Look at him. Does that look right to you?'

Skalen slid over his mate and lit the candle again.

The cat was backed up against a wall, shivering, his eyes wide and staring at the two.

"Aww. Poor thing. I think we scared him. Come 'ere Mekal. Come on, I won't hurt you."

The cat's eyes just stared at him, as if the mind behind them was completely blasted by something he'd seen.

"Silly cat," Deej said, and stood up. The cat's eyes kept staring at her lower body for some reason. She picked up the shivering cat. It didn't resist, and it began to calm down after she'd talked to it softly for a while. Skalen returned to the bed, but Deej sat up with the cat long into the night, singing it argonian lullabies until finally it went to sleep between her breasts.

"Ropes... wake up," Ra'Jirra whispered.

The argonian shifted a little, and Ra'Jirra had to nudge her.

"Mmm?"

"Your turn. I'm tired."

Wears-Only-Ropes got up off the blankets that their captors had thrown in and groggily traded places with the khajiit.

"Oh!" she whispered when she'd seen the work Ra'Jirra had done. "You've almost got it loose!"

"Almost," Ra'Jirra yawned. "Wake me when you've finished it. I've got to get some sleep."

"You let me sleep longer, didn't you?"

"Yeah. A little. If we manage to get out of here in the morning, you're going to need energy to get away."

"That was foolish, but I thank you anyway, Ra'Jirra."

"Don't mention it. Just get that damned plank loose. I'm tired of looking at it."

The guard had come in a few times, with food and drink as well as to change out the pot, but he fortunately hadn't been interested in looking about the place and left as soon as he'd accomplished his task. Wears-Only-Ropes tried to talk to him, but he didn't say a word even in Jel.

"Well," Ra'Jirra thought to herself as she fell to sleep, "At least we'll have a way out before too long."

She never really had much hope of the Alfiq rescuing them. In fact, she was more worried for him. He was a pretty small khajiit, after all. Maybe some kind argonian took him in. The world could be a dangerous place for a little cat like him.
