A few gifts for MJ

Komand'r walked down the hallway, her nude form glowing in the sunlight. Internally, she was riding the pleasant feelings she had from eating out Mary Jane earlier. While she didn't get back what she gave, Komand'r is sure their guest would more than make up for it soon enough.

Looking upwards, she spotted Koriand'r flying towards the throne room. Normally, the sight of her detested sister would make her boil. However, Komand'r only grinned. After all, She had already seduced the Earth woman once. She was sure it was a matter of time before Mary Jane makes the right choice.

Satisfied with that thought, Komand'r continued towards her bedroom.

It took a few minutes and a deep breath or two for MJ to calm down and get dressed. However, now that it was done, and she was walking down the hallway, she felt guilty for what happened.

What was I thinking, she admonished herself, I should told her no, or made up an excuse. Now, look at what happened. I had sex with Kori's sister. I mean, yes, Komand'r is hot, but still!

As she made her way to get something for lunch, she thought about what she can do now. However, as she approached the throne room, she heard voices coming from within. Looking inside, she sees Kori speaking to Queen Luand'r and Lieutenant Taryia. Although she still can't understand Tamaranean, the grim look on Luand'r's and Taryia's faces are not a good sign.

MJ decided to wait in the hallway until their conversation was over, which wasn't long. Queen Luand'r left with a tired expression while the Lieutenant flew down the opposite hall. Kori then turned around and smiled when she spotted her.

“Hello, MJ,” she said, in a somber tone, “How was your day so far?”

MJ replied, “It was...interesting, to say the least. Did something happen, Kori?”

“Yes, something terrible did happen, but I will tell you about it later. It is, as you would put it, a long story. In the meantime, I have something for you.”

Kori then presented her a small grey box, which MJ looked at curiously. “What's the occasion?,” MJ asked.

“I was given this by a local woman I met earlier today. She had heard about your arrival and she asked me to pass this to you.”

Taking the lid off, MJ replied, “Well, that sounds sweet, but-” She suddenly froze when she saw what was inside: a few photos, a small book, and a note.

“What the hell,” MJ spoke, clearly confused. Kori asked, concerned, “What is it?”

Taking one photo from the box and holding it up, MJ responded, “These pictures are from my days in college. and this is my favorite novel.” Looking back at the note inside, she immediately picked it up and starting reading it.

To Mary Jane of Tamaran,

I hope this finds you well. As you navigate your way through the challenges ahead, I thought that you might appreciate the comfort of familiar things. Just remember to be honest and true to yourself and all will be right.

Sincerely, Lorall

After translating the note to her, because it was written in English, not Tamaraean, Kori became confused as well. “This is most strange,” she said.

“Understatement of the century,” MJ replied, “Just who is this “Lorall,” how did she get my things from Earth, and speaking of which, why did she call me “Mary Jane of Tamaran” if she knows I'm from a whole different planet?”

MJ sighed with frustration, and Kori placed a hand on her shoulder. “I will send out orders to search for her. Hopefully, she will cooperate with us,” she told MJ.

MJ nodded, thankful as ever for Kori's presence. It was that thought that reminded her about this morning. Welp, better get it over with.

“Hey, Kori, can we talk about something in private?”

Ten minutes later, after Kori led her to her room, MJ came clean about her tryst that morning, although she made sure to leave out any details about it being Komand'r.

Surprisingly, Kori wasn't shocked or angry about it. She just nodded her head, as if MJ was telling her about the weather or something.

“Hmm,” she said.

“That's it, 'Hmm?',” MJ replied, “I know that we haven't been together that long, but I figured you would be at least a little peeved or something.”

Kori just smiled, “Do not be afraid, I know it was just a casual encounter. Unless you wanted it to be something more?”

Kori's half-joking question gave MJ pause. “I don't know, maybe it's just sex. I'm not too sure.”

“Would it help if I said I do not mind you seeking other partners?”

MJ looked back at her, asking “Seriously? I'm pretty sure no one I've dated would have suggested that.”

Kori smiled, and continued, “Well, it's only recently that you discovered your attraction to women. I believe that you should be free to explore it further, if you want.”

“Wow, that's actually kind of relieving to hear. Just to be clear, you are totally cool with this, and you're not joshing me here?”

“No, I am not 'joshing' you,” Kori replied. In truth, however, there is one small issue, and that is the inkling in her mind as to who seduced MJ this morning. However, she decided to keep it to herself for now.

“Cool, great, I'll think about it,” MJ smiled back. “Still, I can't help but feel a tiny bit guilty about this.”

Kori rubbed her hand against her chin, and replied, “In that case, there are a few things you can do for me to make up for it.”

She pointed back to the box, saying “First, you tell me in depth about these 'photos' of yours.”

Kori then gently took MJ's hand, and said “Then, you can show me what you experienced, personally.”

MJ grinned, and replied, “I can work with that.”
