Lynne squirmed in her mother's arms.
Loren looked down at her baby, moving to sit in the common room with the child. "Quiet, little one."
The girl was growing well, and turning out the mocha color so common in mixed-race children. Of course, Lynne was a mixed-planet child. Fortunately, the Pernese were basically human.

Lynne tweaked her mother's nose, eliciting a laugh from the young woman. She didn't want any more children if she could avoid it, but she knew she might not be able to. Woruth would undoubtedly win more flights, after all.

"At least the planet's intact. You're lucky, Lynne. You won't remember how tense this all was..."
She thought herself alone with her baby...
