Lily hoped that she would be more pleasant than the imperious Dottie, whom she liked well enough, but there was no denying her littermate's pretentiousness.

Amazing that you ended up here with your brother, she continued. She shot Aliac a grin. You'll have to tell me all your adventures before this. I want to know more about Morningside. What it was like, and all.
