Kreeth shrugged her shoulders at Nel's apology. It was an obvious question to ask and asking about it wasn't as rude now as it might have been. Long gone were the days when Mistant children were given up for fear of judgment or segregated from the normal folk. Still, Nel obviously felt responsible for the girl, but that wasn't much of a surprise. She was young, and already the underling of a Khamja member. She probably didn't have any real parents, so Nel likely served as a substitute.

"As far as I'm aware, most of them stick to Jylland," Kreeth said. "This is my first time coming here, so I can't say I'm much different in that regard."

Kreeth felt a little amusement at being in the room with a couple of Noah, though. In a room of Normal people, Kreeth's unusual pallor was taken as evidence of her mutation. It was greyish if not grey. Compared to Road and Tyki, she probably looked a lot more normal. It was almost funny.
