"Yeah. D'you need me to do any walking for you? I can practice at the same time."

"Probably yeah," he says. "Maybe not right now."

Permalink

"Okay. Why do you break?"

Permalink

"Cause my bones are bad. Good bones only break if you hit them really hard," he explains.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are yours bad?"

"Dunno. It's just how I was born."

Permalink

"Oh. I wasn't born. I was doorstepped."

Permalink

"Weren't you born somewhere before you were doorstepped, though?"

Permalink

"I think I would remember that."

Miles ponders this.

"I don't remember being born. Do you remember being doorstepped?"
Permalink

"No-o-o..."

Permalink

He grins. "So maybe you were born!"

Permalink

"Maybe. But I did it different I guess."

Permalink

"Yeah. Most kids don't get doorstepped," he says authoritatively.

Permalink

"Why not?"

Permalink

"Because they're born and they have parents and their parents keep them and don't put them on anybody's doorstep," he explains.

Permalink

"Why did I get doorstepped if I was born first?"

Permalink

"I guess your parents decided to doorstep you. Or, or somebody stole you!"

Permalink

"Stole me!" exclaims Nika, alarmed.

Permalink

"Yeah! Maybe you're a fairy baby and when you're all grown up you'll, you'll sprout wings and fly away," he says imaginatively.

Permalink

"I would like to fly," says Nika. "But maybe not away."

Permalink

"Well, sprout wings and fly around, then. Yeah, that's better. You're my sister, I don't want you flying away."

Permalink

Nika giggles. "Why would fairies doorstep me?"
