Akaela
“Number of Mayakes left: 431.
Goal for today: Meet at the stables and discuss a plan.
Kael’s head flops to the side and his legs give out. Uli lays him on a white sheet of paper and feels his heart.
“He’s fine,” he says, “but he ate half his battery life.” He slides two fingers under the scapular feathers at the top of the right wing and inserts the TCB charger into Kael’s port. “The eye should recover in a couple of weeks. The two missing talons on the left foot sadly won’t grow back. But I’ll disinfect his wounds and increase the antibiotic release through his implants to avoid an infection.” He drops his chin and stares at us. “Are you two going to tell me what happened to him?”
Akaela and I exchange a glance. “He came back like that this morning,” I say, before my sister has a chance to reply. I rub my right eye and blink.
“And what happened to your eye?” Uli asks.
Damn, why am I so bad at hiding things?
“Nothing,”
I say, and rub it some more.
