She glowed with happiness. "Thank you so much. I promise to practice very hard and earn it." Her glance flicked over to the boys again. "I hope I'm good enough for you both."

The boys stopped mid fight, grinning sheepishly. "We're not too picky." Nick said with a shrug.
"Actually, we will be." Nack replied. "But we'll try to be nice about it." He added. "We've been doing this for over a year and a half now."
"Don't tell her s**t like that!" Nick growled.
"Why not? It's true!"
"Yeah, but she doesn't need to hear it yet!"
"And when will she hear it? When you knock her on her a** for the first time?"
"Yeah!"
"BOYS!" Silva shouted. They shut up.
"And perhaps I might get the pleasure as well?" Aleric asked calmly. There was laughter dancing in his eyes and pulling at his lips, but he wouldn't dare laugh in front of her.

"Of course, Mr. Aleric." Galatea bowed politely to the ancient, still smiling. Then, inexplicably, she turned back to Nick and Nack and added, "I won't cry so please don't worry about being rough. I won't learn anything if you're too kind to me." She paused. "But I'll try not to hurt you too much, okay?"

They grinned, but didn't say a word about how often they got the s**t beaten out of them by Silva. They were a lot tougher than they looked.
But it was kind of nice to know she worried about it.
"It's fine, darlin." Silva said, idly playing with Soho's hair. He picked up a strand and looked at it for a moment before letting it drop. She had been playing with hair gel again, it seemed.
"Thank you." Aleric said. "I look forward to it."

Galatea bowed again and reached up to absently smooth her bangs as she straightened. "Thank you again. So much. I'd better get going now. The Captain might be wondering where I am." Maybe. It would be nice if that were true. Padding over to the couch, she shyly squeezed Soho's hand and leaned in to press her cheek briefly against the other girl's. "Goodbye, Soho," she murmured. "Take care." Stepping back, she lifted a little hand in a wave. "Goodbye, Mr. Silva, Mr. Aleric. Goodbye, Mr. Nick and Mr. Nack."
Then, with another flicker of a smile, she stepped off the hope chest and caught herself with her wings, fluttering out the window.

"Bye Gala!!" Soho shouted as she left, waving even if the other girl couldn't see it.
"Well boys... looks like we've got work to do." Silva said. But Nick and Nack were already in a drag out fight. So he figured he'd set up later and closed his eyes for a nap.
