"It's weird that they're all named after their Bell, anyway," says Helen. "Most people have multiple parents. Aren't Rose and Beast's kids really more like - rosecubs?"

Well, Amariah is the name of a goddess too, but she didn't call her daemon Lytess or anything, it's not quite the same."

"Back to being an etcetera," laughs Helen. "I think I like etcetera. I'm taking that one. It's mine."
