Fox fielded her children's questions with patience. The quip about Haunter vs. Haunt caused Wildfire to giggle. "Do you haunt ravens?" she playfully teased her sister, batting gently at Raven's shoulder. "You're supposed to hunt them," Wildfire added, feeling quite clever.

The mention of her father's mean brother recaptured her attention. Wildfire's head cocked. It wasn't Atticus, was it? It couldn't be. Why would Peregrine name her after his brother if he was mean? For that matter, how many brothers did her dad have? She imagined he had many, just like Fox had many sisters. Maybe that's just how it worked: dads had lots of brothers and moms had lots of sisters.

She pondered this until Fox wrapped up the brief tale, prompting the middle child to question, "Isn't Nightjar a kind of bird? Is a dhole a kind of bird too?" If her brother and sister were named after birds, then she was too, right?
