He grimaced. “Agreed.”
Liirel spoke to another woman with a cascade of dark purple hair, and to Polly’s surprise, it was Kell. Her hair had not been that colour when Polly had seen her during the planning stages a few months ago.
Polly tried to walk toward her, but Minoru gestured to Liirel, and she and Kell came over.
Kell smiled and waved. “Hey, Polly.”
Polly smiled weakly. “What are you guys doing here?”
Liirel chuckled. “Coincidence. Kell had an appointment here, so I came to keep her company.”
Kell was moving carefully, and a port was visible at her neckline.
Polly blinked. “Oh.”
Kell calmly moved her shirt back over the port. “One more treatment and it comes out.”
Polly frowned, and before she could stop herself, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Not anymore. I had a benign tumour in my midsection. Tumour is out, and this is follow-up treatment to make sure that all cells with nefarious plans are purged.” Kell smiled.
Polly was suddenly distressed. Kell’s face contorted, and the distress faded.
Kell was embarrassed. “Sorry about that. I leaked.”
Polly nodded. “It’s fine. That is a reason to leak emotion.”
Polly moved to hug her, but Liirel stepped between them as Kell stepped back. “She isn’t safe to hug right now. Especially if there is a chance you are pregnant.”
Kell shrugged. “Sorry.”
Minoru frowned. “But you will be all right?”
Kell nodded. “By your wedding so everything can be set up, and all exterior events will come off without a hitch. You will have a very memorable photo environment.”
Maura smiled. “And I will make sure that the skies are clear.”
Polly looked at the women surrounding her, and it dawned on her. “You all have a mark.”
Aggie smiled. “Yes.”
Minoru jolted. “All of you?”
Liirel smiled. “Yes.”
Kell shrugged. “Yes.”
Maura looked at the men still twitching on the ground. “No shit.”
Minoru chuckled. “Are any of you willing to tell me what your marks are?”
Kell shrugged. “Feathers.”
Liirel shrugged. “Vines.”
Maura chuckled. “Sword in a cloud.”
Aggie rolled her eyes. “Bridge.”
