She looked thoroughly thrilled with the news of so much family being right here, Atticus couldn't help but be elated too. He expected her next question, and answered it with a grin, "Your other uncle's name is Crete, and your aunt's name is Osprey." He had no idea that she'd already met Osprey and that that meeting was, in fact, how she had learned of Atticus's whereabouts in the first place.
He listened avidly as she briefly described Kraken, her brother. He nodded as she concluded, not really knowing what to say. I have a son, he almost whispered to himself, in awe. A son! And a daughter! If the world had inverted and the sky became earth and rocks and stone, and the stars the ground upon which he walked, it wouldn't have been as big a deal to him as this was. He couldn't wait to share the news with his siblings…and yet he was afraid to, at the same time.
"So what do you want to do now that you've found me? Are you going to stay at the Creek?" He couldn't resist asking. Her answer would, in large part, determine how their relationship progressed. He'd visit her at Swiftcurrent if that was what she chose, but in truth, he wanted her here.
