Horbas and Hiccahps

"I'm Lue," you lie, "and this is my girlfriend, Umber."

"Well, welcome, Lue and Umber, to my home!"

Boit takes you on a tour of the home.

"This is where I sleep," Boit says, showing you his amazing bedroom. There is a large plasma television, a King sized bed, and a big silver ornament atop a shelf. "And that is my prized possesion!" he exclaims, pointin to the silver object, "The Horba of Kozoal!"

"The Horba of Kozoal..." you echo. You recognize that name as the name of the object worth Ɍ3000 (around $100,000).

"Alright, no more tour," Boit declares. "It's PARTY TIME!"

The people in the den shout and cheer as Boit leads you back to them. Radian and some other males bring out large kegs with pumps, and Nuh grabs two dozen red plastic cups.

A majority of the guests line up to have their red plastic cups filled with whatever was coming out of the kegs.

Blackfire gets in line with Foxy and Boit.

You decide to line up with them, so that you aren't left out. It takes a few minutes to get to the front, but there is still plenty of drink to be had.

"What is this, again?" Blackfire asks as Radian fills her cup.

"It's a Sandalia specialty known as Hiccahp," Boit answers.

"Hiccahp?"

"As in, 'if you have to much, all you can say is Hiccahp'."

The word-play on "hiccup" is amusing, and Blackfire laughs.

"Hey, Lue, Umber!" Foxy calls from the longest couch in the room. "Sit by me and Nuh!"

Blackfire leads you by your free hand, the other one busy with holding the cup of Hiccahp, and the two of you sit down between the two, with Nuh next to "Umber", and Foxy next to you. Her tail brushes against your leg, and you move it away.

"Oh, sorry," she apologizes.

"Oh, no, it's not you," you say. "I'm just not used to tails touching me."

Foxy giggles, and her long bushy tail curls around your back.

"Hey!" Blackfire says, giggling. "Foxy!"

"Oh, sorry," she apologizes again, still giggling.

The four of you sit and watch the nets-and-sticks sport.
