Author: Saras
Subject: Starting Again

Saras sniffled and rubbed his eyes, looking at Barry and Jeremy. Barry thought he was pretty and Jeremy did too.. After the kiss from Rowan he was fairly certain that the elf thought he was pretty enough as well. He looked at Corum, wondering why he didn’t see it. While he understood what Jeremy was saying about being confusing to others, he really didn’t. He knew of course that there were male and female among humans, but his people didn’t have anything like that. They took human shape and often Gender, but there was no real concept as to differences. Saras had no way of knowing any of the social stigmas and little quirks about the world. Of course, when not in their human bodies, his people spent most, if not all of their time asleep and drifting. They had no real society from which Saras could compare.


“I’m not mad…” he sniffled, looking down at the sand. “But I don’t understand… why… what..”


Saras grew slightly frustrated and looked at Jeremy. “I don’t know why I have to be a woman to be considered beautiful… why can’t I just be me and be beautiful?!” he asked, turning his head to look back and forth at Jeremy and Corum and Barry who flew around their heads. With his Hysterics having settled down, and at least partially re-assured that he wasn’t hideous, his tears had dried up, only to be replaced by the lack of being able to under stand the established social dynamics. He frowned and pouted, as well as anyone could pout, before he realized he was not only caked with sand but his drowning incident had ruined everyone’s fun. He wasn’t supposed to do that. It was his job to make people happy… not for them to keep taking care of him.


“Thank you for saving me, by the way..” he said looking over at Corum. “I.. I’m sorry I don’t know how to swim… I ruined the game…” he said, running a finger through the sand. “Maybe… maybe if you and Jeremy still wanted to play in the water, you could teach me?”


The Genie didn’t really want to go back in the water, except that he needed to get all of this sand off of him, and out of his clothes and hair, and although he was a little bit afraid of the water, he didn’t believe Jeremy and Corum would let him drown. Especially now, after Corum had saveed him once already. But, more then that, he didn’t want his friends to think he was boring and wussy, and would always ruin their fun. Even tho Ravin was really his master, he had decided he wanted to make all of his friends happy.
