Goldfinch was never far behind her boy. She'd decided she liked this new strength of his, though it certainly made protecting him a more difficult task. Sometimes she wondered if he thought himself her protector — like now. There he was, disdain written on his pretty face, talking to — oh, Averie! Oh, her sister!

Goldfinch wondered briefly if @Artio was near, but for now she did not call him. She ran to embrace her sister, to pepper her face with kisses and affectionate nips.
