As we climbed the stairways to what Vala referred to as the "middle cabins," we were stopped by the creak of an opening cabin door.

"What's up?" chirped the voice behind the door. It was Emie, the lead tumbler of Tramptastic.

"I was hoping not to wake you," replied Vala, "These are the Penis Island people."

Emie giggled at the slur. Then she noticed what her fellow acrobat was wearing.

"Oooh! The rubber suit," Emie seemed excited. "Oh my... I thought you were saving that for your breeding day."

"Hush, you," Vala snapped, suppressing a giggle, it seemed.
