"Now there is someone who knows how to make an exit," observes Ike to no one in particular.

Stella snorts. "I'd like to be copied when you identify my staff, no rush though," she tells Glass, and she wanders away.

"Yeah, sure," Glass says to her departing alt.

"Mow," says Cricket.

"I don't think turning it into a contest will accomplish anything useful, 'ket-cat."

"I think I will go outside and fly," says Junia. "Do you want to come?" (This to Keziah, on account of she also has wings.)
