Felony nodded at the mention of flooding. "I was on a hill," she said, "otherwise I'd have either drowned or learned the hard way about flooding. I saw the aftermath, though," she added, remembering looking down the slope after emerging. "I thought to myself, 'that lake was a puddle the other day. I splashed in it, and had a great time doing so.'" She could remember exactly the almost funny shock of that realization.

"You've never been through a tornado?" she asked conversationally. "I've been through one and a half. Hurricanes have a sharper noise and last longer, and tornados have this dull, constant grating sound like someone's dragging metal across cememt right next to your ear."

Fell looked over at Royal's confusion and Alyssum's mention that the bird was probably watching them. Royal reacted with a flick of his ears. Sharp eyes. "He's a bird, dummy," said Fell. "Birds have sharp eyes."
