"Yeah. Having you two watching my back sounds wonderful."

A smile, then - "We'll also be with you for learning your powers, Samira."

"I think mom's going to help with those too."

She ruffles Samira's hair. "Doesn't mean we can't. It'll give Layla a chance to practice being bossy, too."

She sticks her tongue out.

Samira giggles. "She doesn't need to practice."

"I'm a natural leader."

"Natural bossypants."

"And you like being told what to do."

"I'm good at making things happen."

"Then I'm good at deciding what needs to happen."

"Sure."

"Good to know you agree with me."

Shoulder bump.

Laugh and shoulder bump back.

"So what are we doing now, leaderpants?"

"Let's go see what you can do."

"Okay!"

Micqui's happy to help, too - and she has some ideas for fun things to test...

(Samira is maybe showing off a little.)

She has every right to. 

Does Samira want to try fighting another Exalt, now? 

As long as that Exalt is Micqui.

That was her plan. 

Then let's go.
