Sun Mote Copse Time and time again

Saying "me too" seemed kind of rude, so Sugar made no reply. Instead, she turned sideways and gave Fen a gentle, guiding nudge away from the tree, though her cousin didn't appear to need it. Sugar's own verbal instructions had steered her clear of the trunk. Her black eyes followed Fen as she deftly stepped around the obstacle. She didn't move as if she couldn't see, at least not the way Sugar imagined she would if she lost her sight. She supposed she would fumble and stumble very slowly all over the place, whereas Fennec moved with impressive confidence. There were a few subtle tells about her condition, though Sugar marveled all the same.

When asked about Crow and Pox, Sugar replied, "They're my brothers. Avery's my sister. We're litter mates." While observing Fen's movements, she had fallen behind and now closed the gap so they were walking side by side again, the path ahead clear for the moment. "I also have an older brother who lives here, his name is Eljay. And I guess I have lots of other brothers and sisters around, though only these ones live here in the copse." She paused, then thought Fennec may like to know, "Eljay has kids around our age: Elfie and Weejay. Elfie actually went to live in Asterism Grove..." Had Fen met him? Sugar's voice trailed off a bit, then she cleared her throat and finished, "And there's Bronco too. He's Niamh's. His dad—and Elfie and Weejay's mom—are both dead."
