the word family took him by surprise, and a slightly unpleasant surprise at that. since his break-up with dawn, could he truly consider the morningsiders family? any of them? kitten and river were children of his heart, true, but not his blood, and the rest. . . adi forced a smile, mulling her question for a moment before finding the words to speak.
"after our leader died, i stepped up to help his daughter, dawn," he said, his mouth feeling inexplicably dry. "we lead together. then there's her brother, sunny; pema and sebastian are our medics; aviana is sebastian's sister and aliac is sunny's mate. catori is grayday's widow, loir is a huntress. . ." and then there were the myriad children. god, where to begin?
"eventide, river, and kitten are grayday and catori's," he explained, feeling a bit better now that the subject had turned to pups. "aviana has faye, and pema had timberlake, radcliffe, meadow, and padma with shale--who we lost in the fire," adi added, his stomach twisting as he did so.
