"Keep him?"

"Probably. Getting a bit crowded around here."

He looks around at the whole island they have then at Moira.

"Now we'll only have fifty empty rooms!"

Snort.

"Okay, ten more orphans, max. Maybe more if they're twins."

"Sadde's not an orphan."

"Same difference."

Shrug.

"Aphan?"

"Bless you."

Now she's tilting her head. "What?"

"That's what you say when someone sneezes."

"But I wasn't sneezing."

"It sounded like you were."

"I was coining a new word."

"What's it mean?"

"Someone who either never had parents or someone whose parents were crumbums."

"Why that word?"

"What would you call them?"

Shrug.

"That can be the sign language translation."

Giggle. "That would be confusing."

"You do shrug a lot."

Solemn nod.
