We got to the red building of Rainbow. Healers jumped off animals with us and ran all of us to a bed. Without jostling us!
"Fa! Mea! O!" Fa fainted.
His father laughed and held him. "O, nae cry! Here is your fa." He spoke to a crowd.
Eight crying men reached for him. And for Keeas and Neasem. "Nea! Wake, I nae bear it!" All of them were very thin.
He looked up and put his arms around this ba. "Bean! O! How I missed you!" He wheezed, bad.
"Bean?" Keeas hugged them, too. "Nea, who?"
"Bin, surely you remember Bean, do you?"
My husband's confusion about this came to me.
Fa groaned, and they all watched him. His bright blue eyes blinked. "O, my bae! All of my sons and their dear wives! Forgive us, my youngest sons, for we nae bore to think! Here are our eight lost sons, and my three lost bae!" His sorrow rumbled on us like a freight train!
Sylvania got on his chest and kneaded his shoulder gently. She had little tips on her claws in bright yellow.
"O, you are Molly's cat! Such a pleasant sound you make, little one." Fa calmed down. Sylvania went to Keeas next and rubbed against his face. Ben didn't want to let go of his younger ba. All of them enjoyed petting her long, white fur. Fa worried when her blue eyes didn't go light, so I explained. They're used to gelsai, and their eyes go light when they're happy. This building's full of pets!
Fa hugged each of his kids, then all three of his brothers and their wives, and their kids. Five of 'em came from Esteerr, but Ben warned me not to think about that place! Pirad wiped their memories of it. They think they came from other missions.
Keeas and Neasem were attacked at school when they volunteered for Adia's Team. They've been in Lut's Chambers.
All of 'em will live here on MarKu with Fa and Mea. I'm glad! We didn't last through the intros before I fell asleep. So grateful to lie here in all their arms, my first night in MarKu.
I woke up in a cold sweat. Oh, it's the red building, not my stupid bedroom on Earth!
"Molly, are you unwell? Pas!"
He hummed, and I felt calm again. Until I felt sweat on my husband! But I hummed, and it all dried. I had energy like usual, thank goodness! It scared me how drained I got yesterday.
Still felt that danger feeling. But all our relatives were still sleeping. Ben and I enjoyed some festival pastries for breakfast. Gonna get spoiled! Festivals will go on for weeks, what with people who married Earthans and simply celebrating our new locations!
When we had all we wanted, the baker lady had a surprise! She held out two orange candies. "May I present King Goes' gift? He wished you to have these tumasnie."
"Oh, thanks! But I want to give mine to Jog Sa."
"He also received one, Queen Molly."
I named several others, and they all already had one of the rare treats. So, Ben and I enjoyed the spicy-sweet taste! We shared happy memories in Rainbow. Tumasnie enhances memory-sharing in Zheien, if they're happy and content. Useless to slavers, thank goodness.
Then we walked to my office in the green building. Half of this one was halls with private rooms for couples. The other half had a giant chamber with a big nine-sided table in green. Each side had two chairs.
