"What happened?" she worried, and would gently try to prod the puckered line if he allowed it. "Does it hurt? I heard from a friend that you've been in trouble, but he couldn't say what kind."
At the mention of her father, the starchild only nodded. "It was good. Mother taught me many things, and I had no shortage of things to occupy myself with. But I missed you all, very much." Smiling down fondly at Haai as the gryphon pressed against her legs, she stroked the companion's ears. Then she glanced up at Sunjata, mischief glittering in her eyes. "I did hear, yes. You and mother really get along these days, don't you. Does she... does Kamaria know about me?" There was longing in her tone, and something wistful came over her expression.
