Posted by Lieutenant Mthunzi Nkosenye (Chief of Security) in KwaZulu- Natal - Visiting Home, Introductions Are Made (Tag Cross)
true to his word, Mthunzi had arraigned for he and Cross to travel to his home town. A suborbital flight and a short shuttle ride put them in the middle of the huge and bustling city of Ulundi. It was a beautiful city and well maintained by the city government and the residents. As they exited the shuttle, Nkosenye seemed to relax. And here, he did not stand out (as much) as he did most other places.

Nkosenye led Cross out of the shuttle port and into a ground car. He looked at her and smiled and said “So you have a choice. We can go to the market place first and pick up a few things. Or… we can go to my family’s house and get settled and then go shopping. You cooked for me… or at least had someone do so…” and he chuckled at the memory of the stew, “… so tonight I cook for you.” and then he looked ahead. “There will be a few people at dinner. I hope you don’t mind. I have not seen my family in some time.” and he looked at her and said “And I have not told them about… us. I simply said that a crew mate was very interested in seeing KwaZulu-Natal.” and he leaned close and kissed her cheek. “Not that I don’t want to say anything.” he said softly. ” But I thought ‘meeting the folks’ on our second date may be a bit forward of me.” and he smiled at her.

Nkosenye, CoS

’‘ I understand’‘ the doctor replied as she stood on her toes so he would not have to bend so much to kiss her ‘’Let’s meet your family first ,we can always go to the market later on’‘.

She was wearing a simple dress with yellow flowers printed on it that reached just above her knees ‘’Nkosenye do I look presentable?’‘ Cross asked not sure about his family’s culture. It felt nice to be with the man she had started to fall in love with,it was great to be back on Earth with no Captain to keep an eye on her lest she wandered off....at some point Cross knew she would eventually have to tell the CoS about the altered gene and it was not something the female doctor relished.
