“Pfft.” Rand frowned. “So why is it that I mention hot alien chicks, like, one time and everyone gets their panties in a twist, but you actually bang one and we’re all cool with that? How is that fair?” “You want me to see if Kitari has any friends you can hook up with?” Bryce said. “Oh, ha ha.” At that moment, the light was blocked as Koum stepped into the pod. Rand started as he bumped against his chest and spun to see Koum towering over him. Rand made a high-pitched noise and turned an interesting shade of red that clashed with the pink of his armor. Koum studied him with confusion. “Why is this small human changing color?“ he asked. “Perhaps it is a display of a human mating ritual?“ I said. Koum arched a brow, leaned down, and sniffed Rand. Koum wrinkled his nose and looked disgusted. Rand made another noise and hurried away, much to everyone’s amusement and Koum’s disdain.”
