The woman was good enough to answer her, and explain, and Blueberry was all ears up to and including the words "when I was a child."

Unfortunately, she began to short-circuit after that, and only caught 'Thresher' before her mouth opened wide to respond again.

You were born here? she asked, eyes widening. How long ago? And. . .who were your parents?

It took only a few heartbeats for Blueberry to realize she was being completely forward, and kind of crazy, and she laughed, shaking her head. I'm sorry, she burst out. I was born here, too. My name's Blueberry. I was back here looking for my sister.

She shrugged. She's not here. A cocked brow, then: Wonder if you're a sister of mine.
