Morningbreeze!

Valiant had heard a little about that from Dutch already, but he was still thrilled to hear it all over again. His smile was especially soft as Raindrop spoke of her new husband. He could relate, was all.

"The man my aunt adopted," he said, wondering if she'd yet made the connection. "Morningside is the main branch. Welcome to the family, Mrs. Morningbreeze."

Valiant would've liked to meet Sumac, too; he hoped the man would arrive before he was forced to take his leave. He had to get back to his wife soon, after all.

He followed eagerly after Raindrop, feeling vindicated for the connection he'd felt to her all those months ago. He'd wondered at first if they might be meant to be — but clearly, they were always meant to find family in each other. She — and her darkwing husband — began to make up for the loss of his brother, Aeryn.

And now he had something like nieces out of the deal.

"What are their names?" he asked her, lowering his voice as they grew near so as not to disturb them.
