She had already begun turning away but she slowly spun to face the yearling again. "Unless you want to tell me more about yourself, now that we've gotten my parents' roast out of the way." A thin smile flashed across her face before her lips drew into a line. "And I can tell you about myself too." Wildfire had no idea what Saena might say to any of that.
