“Fine.I will talk to you later.”
“Of course.Since I am staying in town, I expect to see a lot more of you.”She patted her belly.“And you will definitely be seeing more of me.”
Keera laughed, turned, and hugged Yahtana.“Nice to be able to acknowledge it, sis.”
Yahtana squeeze and said, “Me, too.It is such a relief to have non-scummy family.”
“Oh, we are scummy, we just manifest in different ways.”
Yahtana laughed and let Keera go.
Keera headed back to R&D.
She scanned in and entered, seeing Hever standing close to Khytten.Oh, right.They were cousins.
Khytten turned and smiled.“Hello, Keera, is it?”
“Yes.”
“I’m Khytten, Hever’s cousin, sort of.”
“Sort of?”
Hever said, “Because she is a capitol citizen, she’s technically not allowed to marry another active.She has a parental authorization here right now and a spouse authorization, but the citizenship is taking a while.They are still getting her previous criminal history expunged, and bureaucracy does not move swiftly.”
Khytten grinned.“We are registered partners, but yeah, Aksalla does have a lot of tangles toward citizenship, even for a spouse.”
Hever snorted.“Right.Khytten, Keera has a lot of scar tissue that needs to be removed before her wedding.”
“Where?”
Keera wrinkled her nose and showed her the scars on her face.
Khytten gasped.“That’s like Hera’s.”
“Same offender.I was an earlier victim.”
“Oh.No.Do you know the deepest cut mark?”
Keera nodded.
“May I see it?”
“Yes.Also, Cloud mentioned that I needed to get a record of the scars.Hever, can you do that?”
“You will have to undress in the scanner.Are you good with that?”
“Can I have a privacy screen?”
Hever nodded and got the scanner platform out, and the screen rose up around it.“There you go.”
Keera nodded.“Thanks.”
She walked to the screen and stepped behind it, removing her outer layers and then her underwear.She set her feet in place and then held her hands out at her sides.“Ready.”
The scanner started, and she stood with her eyes closed, and seventy percent of her skin was scarred.The gasps told her that they could see the images.When the scan finished, Keera got into her clothes and smiled.“Right.So, that’s that.”
She stepped into her work heels and walked around the screen to see Khytten crying.“Khytten, I know you kill without hesitation.Why are you crying?”
