“Smalls moved like a soldier who had done this a thousand times. He seemed to be aware of everything. His arms were strong, Picket knew, but he gripped his sword loosely, almost casually. He seemed almost at ease but on the verge of springing into action.”

“Heather had invented the game, but Picket made it magic. She remembered the day it began. She had been out in the meadow behind their elm-tree home, lying on a blanket in the sun. Heather was little then. Her long furry ears bent slightly in the wind, and the bow she invariably wore over one ear was starting to come undone. That day Mother had done a carnation bow, an intricate weave of one long ribbon made to look like a large flower, and pinned it to one ear. Picket was little more than a baby then, sleeping in his crib.”
