Dubious Deal

Xavier sighed as he accepted his fate.

Even his little sister hadn't gotten a piggyback ride, but I guess this one would.

It was very uncharacteristic and risky. He was opening his entire back to this guy. But what was that compared to opening his sea of consciousness to him?

There was no resistance. 

He was just going in and out as he pleased. In fact, it felt like the chipmunk was constantly being invited in.

Though even a plasma gun to his head won't get him to admit that—for safety reasons.

No one needed to know that his sea of consciousness was like free parking for this guy—not his men and definitely not his parents.

Xavier pushed the morbid thought somewhere far and concentrated on walking back to the dorm with a giant koala wrapped around his back.

Meanwhile, the koala, who was actually not that big, thank you very much, wondered why the generator's meridians had changed a bit.
