Forgotten Suns
“Aisha finally got around to asking Rama. They were nearly done with jump. She’d been lying low, expecting Aunt Khalida to corner her any moment and try to ship her back to Nevermore, but everything had been suspiciously quiet.

It was like curling blue-black silk, and once she got it to cooperate, with help from a brush and a comb and a tube of gel she’d begged off the purser, it looked perfectly presentable.MoreLess
