Earth Flight

I broke off and bit my lip. It was stupid to feel so wounded by this. I’d coped perfectly well without a family for my whole life, so why should I care if some nuking Betan clan had thought better of having a throwback as a member? It was actually a good thing, because I’d always had reservations about Beta sector. The only reason I wasn’t totally delighted about being dumped, was because Lolia and Lolmack would be devastated.
