A breeze carried the sharp, moist] ' ' smell’ ‘ of the. sea to the man nn the beach. It was a gentle breeze, ...born of .a gentle autumn. ■ The man did not think about the breeze,, nor___ the... warm golden sun, nor about the beach with its black and purple_ sand,, nor about any of the things he might have thought about. The“ man was, neither more nor less, and the being was enough, He was warm and drowsy and presently he fell asleep. A P|>-rt of the spacer never slept and after a while that part of him heard° a sound, It Wakenert the rest of him the. man. sat up and listened. When ho heard the sound again he relaxed. Itxu was non more than the slip-slap of a boy’s bare feet against a wet, sandy. _path l . He had heard the sound many times before. ■■ ' "Barthman,'1 the boy said. He stopped in front of- the man-. The man looked and the bey was hazy. The man had to move his head- and refocus his eyes for ho was a spacer and heavy primaries had ^lasted tnrough his retinas, forming scars where there was no sight. • He found a place in his eyes wnere he could see and studied the boy. riMn, £ ’ 11VOS the SQa^’ man said, and in so ■01 g„ko acknowledged the boy and gave him permission tn speak. IQ_. Barthman, my father bids you well and asked that I speak to you mealtime and you arc bid to share -our house for food and shelter. The boy was sturdy and handsome, his body a light brown and ka*?* P^e white. His eyes were typical of his people; swirling pools of irridescent purple and gold. I am proud/’ the Barthman said. "Speak to your father and say he honors me, even as his son honors him." The ritual was a daily one.
