"Hmph," said Noe, turning her nose up at her brother playfully. "Like you don't stay up just as late as me." She wasn't blind, after all - she knew he snuck out just as often as she did, although she didn't know where he went (likely because she would pitch a fit if she knew about his fighting habits). Maybe she should tail him one night, just to see. Of course, she might not like what she found out. No, better to let him live his life and for her to live hers. Live and let live, as they say.

"I think Dad would agree with you," said Noe, raising an eyebrow at Koa's question. She knew that her father and brother didn't always see eye to eye, but on this... well, their father was not in the minority who thought that all Abandoned were evil. It would be nice to have Koa and their father sit down and talk about the coming changes to Stormbreak. They might actually find common ground for once. "He misses you, too. I know you don't see it, but I think he's happier when you're around. It's been too quiet around the house without you. Plus, I think he feels like you can keep a better eye on me than he can," she added jokingly. It was probably true; their father was many things, but able to keep up with a spirited teenaged girl, he was not.

Little did I know I'm a champion
