Now that she'd been accepted, Charlotte - as it seemed she was called, among other things - was quite talkative. Finley gave her a slightly wry smirk as she spoke of her family. Apparently she had a robust one, which was never a bad thing. Fin herself had come from a large family. It was the reason she was in the Teekon Wilds now instead of back with them at the Vale.
