Boyband shook his head.

“Then drag her away to feed before Abbas and Akna can complain, unless you want to share with her.”

He pulled Kalacia down the hall, away from the entrance.

“Don’t forget our molars!” Ralia sighed and raised her eyes as Boyband left the room. “One day maybe things’ll click for that kid.”

I turned to Naoma. Both of us opened our mouths to talk, but in that second of hesitation, Abbas and Akna entered.

“Reporting from Haven Health,” Abbas said, lacking enthusiasm.

“Soo, how’d it go?” Ralia winked at Akna. “Abbas stay in line?”

She smiled, nodding with more enthusiasm than I expected.

“That good, huh?”

Boyband ran into the room, crunching teeth with a few in his hand. “I’ll get yours later,” he said with a stuffed mouth. “What’d I miss?”

“Nothing yet.” Abbas sat on the ground, then let himself collapse and stretch out. “This girl got way too hungry towards the end.”

Akna giggled. “And he took me out to feed right before we came.”

“Ah,” Ralia said. “Explains your energy then, huh? You didn’t give her any fixes, did you Abbas?”

“Zeg, no. She got a little too excited and that must have drained her. Thank the Light she didn’t have her mod functioning to burn her even more.”

“We just ate every tooth in a Faith Breaker chapter.”

I smirked. “Those guys who live on neuronet forms just to try and prove everyone wrong?”

“Regardless of their conviction,” Abbas added.

“Yupper,” Akna said.

I raised my eyebrows. “Well, can’t say I was a fan. How many sets?”

“I had one.” Abbas pointed to Akna. “No zegging idea how many she had.”

“At least six,” she said.

“Holy Light,” Ralia gasped. “What drained you so hard?”

“Bom-Girls!”

Ralia laughed.

I looked at Naoma, furrowing my brow. “Do you know them?”

“Unfortunately, yes. Or I guess the Neon Idol did.”

“What’s wrong with them?” Akna asked.

“Let her fangirl,” Ralia said.

Naoma scowled. “Are we going to do that with all people who might be enemies now?”

“Why did you meet them?” I asked. “I thought you were going to Haven?”
