Welcome to Tuesday Tales! This week's word prompt is “decent”. We are back with Dani in my Sci-Fi story. It is a little shorter than normal.

Dani gestured to her weapon. “That is a decent amount of metal that you are going to have to manipulate.”
Bobo shook his head. He arched one arm over his head in a stretch. He repeated the movement with his other arm. He rose to his feet and continued to bend himself in different directions. Some poses did resemble Dani’s pet cat back at home.
With one final yawn, he shrunk himself down to his balloon man shape. He twisted and snaked his form up and down the new sections Dani added to her sword.
He hopped across the contraption then swept his bubble arm towards it.
Dani didn’t have to ask him what he meant. She knew without him speaking to her.
She reached across all the random items on her coffee table to pick up her sword. Of course the little alien was right. She swung it around the room as she controlled where it glided to.
She grinned at Bobo. “It’s perfect.”
He said nothing. Instead he bobbed his head like he agreed.
She set the sword down with a sigh. “I better go pack. I have a trip to go on soon.”
She forced a smile on her lips as she stood and shuffled to her bedroom.
Bobo bounced off the coffee table and scurried after her, his little knot feet squeaking along after him. She glanced back at him and grinned a little. Was he going to be alright in the desert climate in Egypt? If there was danger, how would she protect both of them?
She watched as the little alien silently grunted and groaned as he pushed the suitcase from the closet. It reminded her of the cartoons she watched as a child. Is this what her life had become? Maybe she was dreaming after all.
