The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun/10 Remembering

Proxima Centauri and the Aliens of Porrila/14 Returning home
The parents finally came back. The boy just tried to keep quiet and avoid further trouble. Father said little. His wife understood what he meant. She thought back about her own youth. She was born into a respectable lower class family. There was always enough to eat. Despite that her parents struggled to find the resources to educate their brighter children. Expensive luxuries like intoxicants were rare in their house. Her younger sister Violet was about the same age as her son Blue Tentacles was now. Terrans would definitely have called her, “she”. Violet Tentacles was caring and nurturing. She was always looking after the younger siblings and anyone else who needed care.

The male side of her hermaphrodite nature was less developed. Then an elderly rich Centaurian turned up and married young Violet. The family thought that was a dream come true. There was less struggling. All the older children started getting the right type of education.
