Really, it would be more interesting to lunch with the waterbound students than sitting in the cafeteria while her own lunch wilted watching that nasty boy, Marl Fidd, make threatening faces at Khiindi and make fun of Hap for talking all the time.

When he hit the water, he should have landed hard and possibly injured the parts Marl had not already broken, but instead something held him up and he drifted rather than smacked down to the surface of the pool.

As for Marl, Khiindi thought for a moment that perhaps he was a shapeshifter who was really at least partly descended from the Khleevi, the horrible buglike race that had had no purpose except to waste, destroy, and eat the rest of the universe.

With his strength, Elviiz could have prevented Marl from causing more harm to Khiindi without damaging him so badly.

If you want to help him, you should take your special poultice up to Marl and see if you can help.

She hoped that Marl, like Thariinye, had some good buried in him somewhere.

Had Marl maybe attacked Khiindi because of the underwear incident, which Shoshisha had confided to a half dozen of her best friends?

Elviiz with her maybe, or just send him, but she was not going to be alone with Marl again.

Khorii found Marl, Sesseli, Captain Bates, and Jaya on the bridge, staring at the viewscreen.
