He looked so much like Raisa, in a way, more so than he did the black and white form of the mother who'd birthed him. He didn't wear the auburn of her coat that Kassander had inherited but the resemblance to the Xanilov line was still unmistakable. "Cassiel Xanilov," he whispered, savoring the feel.
