Sunbeam Lair yeah, who could have more?;

The boy couldn't help but smile at Korei's excitement-- she was effortlessly cute.
I found her by the creek. He told the pale girl, but then his focus was on the newcomer Lennon had brought. The name Lainie sounded terribly familiar to him, but he didn't have time to dwell on it before the girl herself approached him. At her words, he froze.
Uhhh-- niece? I didn't know-- whose are you? I mean, um, who are your parents? Ali stammered, suddenly overwhelmed himself. He knew some of his older siblings had children-- but he had never thought it would affect him! She was so young, too; what was she doing away from her parents? Suddenly the boy felt a dreadful sense of obligation towards her, assuming she was correct in her statement.
Ali hadn't actually met all of his siblings from his parents' previous litter; there was a strong chance he had never laid eyes on whichever of Lainie's parents connected them. The thought was a little disconcerting. He might never have known she was related to him if she hadn't said something.
