The dame laughed, eyes crinkling at the corners. Yes, it was interesting. That was putting it mildly. "Well, Mr. Morningstar, the children's father, has many other children. They had been staying with me, while the children were nursing." She began to explain, navigating her way towards the mouth of the Polar Sound. If she went the wrong way, she would have an even longer trip ahead. After all, going down the cliffs weren't an option. It would take some time to move along the edges of the cliffs until they reached the mouth. How foolish that would be. "They are quite the characters, I must say. I believe two of them are.. in some sort of relationship. Many of them seem to resent their father, for reasons he will not share with me." She began, frowning just a little.

It would be rude to ask why he kept it from her. However, curiosity nagged at her. What had happened to him? She knew that his family did not get along, and that his own brother had scarred his face rather horribly. He would bear those marks forever. "My three girls are bright children, if I do say so myself. Darya, my firstborn, is going to be the largest of them, perhaps even as big as her father. She wears the same crown as he does, and it looks like a wolf's face. Beautiful, and it will only grow more so as she ages." Her eldest daughter was going to do great things, she knew that for certain. "I have told you enough about Divo, but Dominika is a special child. Very intuitive, and always asking questions. While she is not as big as her sisters, she makes up for it in the way she thinks. She looks a lot like my father, she has the same eyes, and the same marks on her legs. I hope she will be as loyal and caring as my mother told me he was." While she resented her father, her mother had always told her good things about him. With a child that looked just as he had in life, she hoped those stories were true.

She only hoped Dominika didn't lose one of her legs.
