Heat pressed down in the fruit cave, a wet, heavy blanket after the crisp cold of the ice world. Taushen's blue-felted skin prickled, his tail lashing side to side with contained excitement. Nearby, a human slipped into the cool pool, shedding layers and biting into a soft, alien fruit. Taushen watched, his heart beating a hard rhythm against his ribs. He'd volunteered for this, hoping, praying his khui would finally sing for someone. Time was slipping away—other males were finding mates. He had to act. Just... just after he finished this last piece of fruit.
