"Yeah, we noticed."

"What do you know about us? What did Ranata and Kas say?"

"I don't know," says Kalavar. "Things. They talked about you sometimes. They missed you a lot."

Path's wings shush against his sides. "We knew time might be different. We didn't know it was going to be this different."

Petaal nuzzles him.

Nuzzles. "We missed you too, though," he murmurs.

"Aww," says Kalavar.
