030 :: Breakfast
Peter’s Skroll buzzed. He spoke quietly for Naomi to read the translation after her shower.
Shopping list. I will show you the shops today. (Peter)
After a minute he added.
Would you like to go to the gym. (Peter)
Naomi stepped out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around herself. She dried her hair with another. She looked at her Skroll.
Okay. (Naomi)
Same breakfast as yesterday. (Peter)
Naomi nodded.
Peter left the room. Naomi hung her Skroll on the hook above the table. She sat on the chair. She tapped her image. The Skroll showed her like a mirror. She examined her face. Her eyes were slightly red. Her lips a little dry. No blemishes. She dressed. Tee shirt and leggings. She went to the kitchen. Peter was cooking. Naked with an apron. Back to her. She sat at the breakfast bar. Peter turned.
Nudity is the rule. (Peter)
Naomi opened her Skroll.
Shopping. (Naomi)
The cameras are watching. The AI knows the rules. It will warn the masters when you break a rule. It keeps a record of everything. It is always watching. (Peter)
Shopping. (Naomi)
We dress when we are leaving. (Peter)
Naomi stood. She stripped off her top. Her leggings. Folded them. Placed them on the stool. Sat on them.
Peter finished cooking. He served their breakfasts. They ate in silence.
I dress now. (Naomi)
I have to make pasta first. (Peter)
Naomi stared at her plate.
Listen. You go to the room. Relax. Play a game. I will be half an hour. (Peter)
Naomi took her clothes to the room. She brushed her teeth. She straightened the duvet. She lay on the bed. She opened her Skroll. She tapped her image. She flicked between the cameras in the room.
