The Afterparty

[Mariella]

Mariella stood on the airfield and watched Brownings new ship launching.
He would never stop looking for hard jobs.. Did he mention to work for the MiD in Rheinland ?

Well payed, but he would be under fire, several times.. She sighed, when she turned, thinking on a visit downtown.
A red Sabre appeared in the sky and it was nice, to see the reflections of the sunlight on it.

She stopped walking and just watched the ship.. taking a break.. it sounded so nice.. All the time, Browning
needed, to get his new ship started, was a time of waiting and planning.. most of the plans were already past.
She smiled, murmering: We did it well, till now. Maybe we can borrow some more time to relax. I start to hate cockpits.

With her eyes closed, she felt the warm sun on her skin, when she suddenly had a curious emotion.
As she opened her eyes, she saw Bernard standing with a girl, next to the red Sabre. He was blushing, when
he noticed her looks.. Looking down to the floor, the hands on his back, he looked very abashed..

Maybe it was better to leave them alone.. She let her feet carry her to an old chappel, next the airfield.
Let me try a little ban on these Devils.. We had, but it seems, we still need a little more time to rest..

She closed her eyes, concentrated and sunk into a dreamless kind of sleep.
