Her knew friend began her story, and Rae was settled in, listening with wide eyes and ears tilted to face her, to catch every word. But already, at the beginning of the story Rae had a question. She knew better than to interrupt. Story time was the only time when she could remain still, stationary, and quiet. She held onto that peace, despite her curiosity to know to know what a queen and king was, what silk and cloth was, what a gypsy was. The whole kingdom she spoke of was so far from her realm of understanding that she couldn’t even imagine it. She tucked away every word into her memory, stashing it with the rest of the stories the young girl had collected.

As Baelfire’s ears tucked against her skull, Rae knew this would not be a happy story. Her friend spoke of loss, and Rae could understand that completely. She had lost too, her mother had returned to the stars, and no longer could she be held against the steady, comforting shape of her form. Still, she had her sister, and Vela was all the family she needed in the world.

Bael had finished her story, and Lyrae perked up, tongue slipping from her maw in her excitement, tail wagging behind her as her stillness returned to life. When she spoke, it was very quickly, mashing everything together. “What’s a King and a Queen , what are silk and cloth. What are gypsies?” as all the questions she had been holding back ran free.
