Larksong Grotto fears

She does not catch onto the rolling emotion that had captured Dauntless upon her admission to his younger siblings.  She senses something in the flick of his ear, the way his eyes fall to the ground... but she does not really register it, and if she does, she does not pursue it.  She does not want to make the (pretty) boy uncomfortable, especially if they were to be stuck in the Grotto for however long.

She did not really know what it took to be a good big brother, either.  But maybe it was everything she had missed in her childhood.  Just spend time with them.  It is best if you can start when they are young.  A relationship, a mentorship should happen naturally.  I'm sure you will do fine.  She has no place offering advice.

He stumbles over his name and she quirks another mirthless smile.  It is nice to meet you, Dauntless.
