"You can't tell me it doesn't make you feel awkward, though."

Shrug. "I don't care."

"You can go then." 

Once Sadde leaves, Zaneta calls in Lilly. 

"Hi."

"So, your power scares Sadde. Not your fault, but still true."

She folds her arms. "He's being silly, it doesn't do anything, what's so bad about paying attention to me?" asks the most important person in this room.

"He'd rather avoid any interference with his thought processes. Does the situation make you uncomfortable at all?"

"If he's gonna be silly about it it's his problem."

"That's very sensible."

Shrug.

She does make a point of seeing if the situation is making any of the other children uncomfortable.

Jacob is a bit distressed by it but the others are cool.

She brings it up while they're gardening one Sunday morning. "You don't feel responsible at all, do you?"

—headshake.

"That's good. I suppose there's enough of you about that neither Sadde or Lilly are likely to feel left out."

Nod.

"Maybe it'll keep them from running off."

Headtilt.

"Major disadvantage of flying children."

"Lilly can't fly," he points out.

"Neither can Evan, and he manages."

"How?"

"That flying suit of his."

"Then he can fly," Jacob argues reasonably.

"Fair point, but the others could still carry Lilly."
