"Well" said Kat hoping to break the silence "Is there anything else you guys want to do before I leave? I don't want you to think I've just secured payment and run off, but I really will have to leave soon and get on my way"
"Wait!" said Major "We want to try something first… hang on"
A look of concentration passed over Major's face. It was scrunched together and her tails were twirling around each other as if in agitation. Kat didn't notice Major was holding her breath until finally after a minute of trying Major started panting and trying to regain the lost oxygen
"What was that?" asked Kat and Enuko together
"We're trying to see if I can swap places with… Minor" said Major, carefully stating Minor's name with only a slight shiver.
"Well I suspect you are going about it wrong" said Enuko
"What do you mean?" asked Major
Hmm, I'm thinking of taking a short break at some point. I'm not sure when though. I'm not dropping the story, and I don't even want to stop working on it, but my backlog has been reduced to just a week, and this means I have to spend more time editing because I can't just do two or three weeks of chapters at a time.
On the other hand, I do still have a week of chapters so maybe I should just use them to take a break? But the whole point of the break is some relaxation but mostly to increase my stockpile...
