Summary: The Tale of the Bite
“What’s this then?” Rhys asks, touching the bruise on Gwen’s back.
“Oh that,” she replies, trying to sound casual, “it’s a bug bite.”
“What sort of bug? One of your space thingies?”
“Yes, They’re bright yellow with luminescent wings and serrated teeth. Hunter-gatherers from the Andromeda galaxy. We had to shoo them all back through the rift but...”
“All right. Fine. Just as long as you’re all right.”
“Of course I am.”
Gwen sighs. There’s no need for Rhys to know how that particular mark came to be there.
She’ll just have to tell Tosh to be more careful next time.
