Sledding, too, was something to look forward to, and Jigano chuckled. "He actually is. Admittedly, he relied a lot on his magic before but..." He shrugged. "There's genuine skill there, too.

You tend to talk about the Voice even when you don't mean to or realize you're doing it." He raised a brow at the word choice. "'Old' family, though? You speak as though you have a new one."
