Orca had listened raptly, not making a sound. Her eyes and ears were fully focused on her siblings. She was proud of them for telling their story, and she enjoyed every minute. But when they addressed Peregrine's death, her lower lip began to quaver and she felt tears threatening to spill over onto her cheeks.

It was a strange sensation; she had never known either of her parents, and for all intents and purposes, Aunt Fin and Uncle El had stepped into the roles seamlessly. She treasured her godmother and godfather. But she felt inexplicably sad, and she took a deep breath to steady herself, leaning back against Lagan for physical and emotional support. She forced a smile as she waited to see if Towhee and Phox would continue.
