is this the real life?

Intent on her mission and only thinking to drag the much larger male along with her, she nearly ignored Jupiter's complaints, but then she froze, nearly tipping forward onto her nose, and swiveled to stare at him with her weird silver-and-blue eyes. "You see it?" she echoed him, incredulous. No one had ever seen the weird things she saw every day, and she'd given up pointing them out to others while she was still a pup. No one else saw the spirits and auras - it was just fact. So Jupiter describing to her the creature she had seen was like the sun suddenly rising in the west and setting in the east. Grass was suddenly blue and the sky was green! It was as strong a portent as the ever-full moon. She needed that rabbit. Spinning to face him fully, Alfrun drew herself up to her full - very diminutive and breakable - height. If she'd been human her hands would very much have been fisted on her hips. "Jupiter Angelusson Imperialis, are you a man or are you a child?" she snapped with uncharacteristic force. "We need that rabbit and you will get that rabbit. This is a matter of life or death and we do not have time to quibble over your fears! The curse must be broken!"
