Silvertip Mountain all that glitters is gold

Aditya spoke some truth, Queenie thought. Being alone did seem to have some benefits, like not having to listen to the constant bickering of the boys or the late night calls of Daddy Bruce. But she was, for the first time, lonely. The feeling wasn't a pleasant one, either. Yeah, I think so, Queenie told him, now sitting back on flexed legs, should she need to fight or bolt. Didn't stay around for very long, I didn't really like the girl I was talking to.

She didn't say much more after that for fear of possibly offending her new friend. She was more afraid of his reaction than actually hurting his feelings, but nonetheless, she stopped. Why are you all the way out here, then? If your home is down there. Queenie motioned with her head out the cave entrance, then looked back at Aditya with curious eyes.
