Peka has snuck Katin away with her the last time she had to ferry a body into the city. Katin is hidden her truck; she's big enough now to mostly handle her own bottle and that keeps her quiet. Peka has bleached her hair. She wraps it in a towel so she can come out and listen.

People call him the best singer in the world. This is probably warranted.

Peka hugs herself.

And he finds her. "You're riding back with us, I can't get a day off but I can drop you off and give you a key."

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

"You'll be okay."

Permalink

"Thank you."

Makel does autographs. Makel does a couple more songs. Makel gives vague but quotable answers about what he's working on next. Makel commends the commitment of the troops to ensuring a safe food supply for everybody. 

And he gets in the truck. "You must be Peka." His Tapap is definitely comprehensible.

"Yes -" She cuts herself off before she says 'sir'. Her hair is white and the baby's is orange, why would she say sir.

"Are you planning to enlist in Anitam, too, or do something else?"

Permalink

"...I. I don't know yet. This is sort of sudden."

Permalink

"My brother has kind of questionable judgment sometimes."

Permalink

"I can hear you."

Permalink

"I know. - he did tell you he dyed his hair because he wanted to join the army - and I don't think he even agreed with the war -"

Permalink

"Not especially."

Permalink

"He mentioned, yeah." She snuggles her baby. "I just needed the money."

Permalink

"Credits don't work like that here- if you have a kid without one they'll stop you from doing that again and put the baby up for adoption, but lots of people want to adopt a baby."

Permalink

"I don't super want her to be kidnapped and me to be sterilized but it'd be better than them just killing her."

Permalink

"It's not like lax enforcement's a kindness either." Sigh. "I have a little brother who's been scheming to make all the credits cheaper but I think it'll only really catch on with green and blue, if it catches on at all."

Permalink

"Why's that?"

Permalink

"I mean, it amounts to 'we should all collude to not bid much at auction' and that works better with smaller populations where reputation matters a lot."

Permalink

"The last time he explained it to me it was way more complicated than that."

Permalink

"How to collude effectively is complicated but the idea's simple."

Permalink

"Huh." Katin stirs in her arms and Peka adjusts her and starts singing softly.

Permalink

He seems happy to listen.
