"Oh, that's not good," Keziah says.

"Like how?" Céleste wants to know.

"She can taste people's magic and sometimes when she talks about it she kind of sounds like she wants to eat me for lunch."

Permalink

"What does magic taste like?" asks Céleste.

Permalink

"All different things! Apparently I'm cinnamon and nutmeg, and my brother Kerron is pineapple and coconut."

"Yummy!" says Céleste.

"Why those?" Keziah wants to know.

"I have no idea!"

"I don't have my own magic," grumbles Keziah. "I'm allowed to have triangles. But Mommy is worried I'd do something in front of people if she let me have squares."

"I'm not old enough to learn to enchant yet," says Céleste. "But I'm allowed squares," she brags.

"Yeah, well - well - you don't have wings!"

"I can fly anyhow!"

The Griffins fold their arms at each other.

"Cherie," says Dominique, "it's not nice to brag."

Céleste huffs.

"You should say you're sorry," Keziah says preachily.

"I'm sorry," mumbles Céleste.

"That's my little sister," says Dominique, smiling at her.

"We should visit each other," Keziah says, apparently completely mollified by the reluctant apology.

"Ooh," says Céleste. "But don't we look like magic?"

"I guess," says Keziah, frowning. "People would think you were me and want to know where your wings went!"

"But we could visit you," says Damaris. "You're allowed to be magic!"

Permalink

"Yeah!" says Céleste brightly. "That's much better. You should come visit us."

Permalink

"Yeah!"

Céleste looks around for Maman and Papa. Papa is not in evidence. Maman is over there. "Maman!" she calls.

Permalink

Maman heads in their direction and regards the collection of cousinoids curiously. "What is it?"

Permalink

"We want to come and visit you sometimes!" says Damaris.

Permalink

"I think that sounds like a fine idea," says Rose. "Angela has told me that you're called Damaris and Keziah and you have little sisters at home."

Permalink
"Yeah, Ariel and Peninnah don't know about magic yet," says Keziah.

"Ooh. So you're also a big sister," muses Céleste.
Permalink

"She is a medium-sized sister!" says Damaris.

Permalink
"I'm littler than Damaris and bigger than Ariel and Pen'!" says Keziah.

"It's just us at home," says Céleste.
Permalink

"Perhaps someday we will have little sisters and you will also be medium-sized," says Dominique to Céleste.

Permalink

"We shall see," says Rose.

Dominique hugs her Maman.

Her Maman hugs her right back.
