Sure.

She works on project proposals and updates Peka on the situation.

I wonder what caste they'll decide we are after getting clean. Purple probably.

It would be nice if you could be green.

Yeah.

Maybe I can convince people that purples will riot if they try to just integrate the two castes and people should be able to test or audition or whatever into other castes and you can sing in front of a panel of judges who'll be so spellbound they'll hallucinate your hair is a dark pine green color.

Oh I was thinking more of a pistachio or honeydew.

Those would look lovely on you.

Thanks!

Maybe we can convince people that normal caste inheritance rules don't apply to newly clean reds and they can be any caste they want on the grounds of centuries of babies being red if they're half-red no matter which gender the clean parent is.

Green is not a common throwback color.

Okay, granted. Still.

That would be so fun.

If they don't let you be green you can come to my planet when Otet manages to reestablish contact and be a singer there!

Eeee!

And no one will be bothered if you don't dye your hair!

And Katin can have hers orange.

Absolutely.

It's this really cute peachy color.

We will fix everything and it can grow in peachy and you'll never have to shave her again.

You're great.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

She submits proposals to theologians.

They think in theory this one should probably work, although it would throw caste into a total legal and theological limbo.
