"It's not that it's gross..." Aron spoke carefully, his eyes darting between his three crewmates. "It's just that it seems wrong when they're just..." His hands lifted as if ready to make a gesture, then flopped to the bed, and his cheeks colored.

Today they were in Sunny's cy'Red dorm, stacked on her bed, because one of Aron's cy'ra were... engaged... with a cy'Sweetflower. Loudly.

"And I mean, sure, they're having fun, but then there's going to be that loud mess like there was with the last one, with Silva, and with Kit before that. At this rate, he's not going to be able to talk to anyone in the school by the time he graduates."

"We're not going to do that. Right?" Sunny looked between the three of them, her crew. "We're best friends. We're crew. We're not going to get all... all sexy and start fighting with each other, right? Right?"

"No sex," Astarte agreed with a sharp nod.

"Sex is for outside the crew," Kerr agreed, very quietly.

"It's a deal." They put their hands together and shook, all for one, one for all.

"So what do we do about cy'rees?" The four of them were flopped in the fourth-year students' dorm all on Aron's bed. He, in turn, was studying the long tail Kerr had recently grown.

"Do?" Astarte peeked up at him through a fringe of hair. "We pick them, right?"

"But we're not all going to pick the same one, are we? I mean, we could... 'cause if we don't, they're going to split us up." One hand went protectively over Astarte and the other over Kerr, leaving Sunny to snuggle into his arm on her own.

"Well..." Sunny mused... "it's a small school. It's not like they can actually separate us."
