Flycatcher Downs Let's make some new friends

Soleon would find that Journey was moderately more respectful of Steph's space than of his; it was not exactly that the males in her life had not been as respectable as the females. Just that she'd been the darling of her father's eyes, and doted on by her uncles, and peas in a pod with her brother — and that Sunspot could be terrifying when she put her mind to it.

Still, it was difficult for her to contain her enthusiasm at meeting yet another friend. "Hi Steph!" she replied, almost as if they did know each other. (Because, I mean, now they knew each other, right?) "I'm Journey. We're lookin' at plants and searching for my family. What're you up to?"

She was only a fraction less warm to the woman than she'd been toward Soleon — and even so, she was still quite effusive and friendly toward her.
