Chapter 2: A New Life

Page 45

Rico is clutching his head, zoned out and not really looking at Blue now, more looking through her into a void. "I- I thought it was a hotel for new people. Like a refugee center!"

Rico continues, his knees buckling a little now, "I would have to do some work in exchange for food and rent until I could find a way back to Earth."

Blue shrugs, both dismissively and confused. "Yeah, that's kind of what you got."

Rico is now on the ground rolled up. "I was expecting clerical work or- or manual labor.". Blue looks down in pity. Not pity for his situation, but a general pity that this human is so... like THIS.

Author's Notes:

The most manual of laboring.

So my grand idea was that in a space faring Galactic Standard society, escorts would probably be enormously in demand. With everybody traveling around, away from family and friends, and away from your own home world and species, you probably get pretty lonely out there. A structured faction of escorts that you know are healthy, happy, and well taken care of would ensure that everything stays on the level and everybody wins!
