Deva came to the doorway of Jinnai's private room in the Bugrom hive. "Oh, Mr. Jin-nai?" she asked, in her most seductive voice. "Are you busy at the moment?—"

Jinnai darted past her, and called back over his shoulder as he fled his room. "So sorry! Can't stay! Going on patrol with Groucho!!"

Deva blinked, and silently raised one hand in parting. Goodness, she thought. Mr. Jinnai is always eager to defend the homefront.

And then, Deva brushed away a lonely tear. There is little reason to defend the homefront, she thought, if one never spends any time at home.
