Breeze was glad for his elder sister. Given the absurd gap in age between herself and the other Breeze children—long, even for fairies—she'd had the lion's share of raising them. Disciplining them, too. It was a miracle they didn't turn out to be hellions, like her. Redbud, while their mother, was not given to motherly traits and sneered at the idea of acting as one.

Rubbing his temples, Breeze tried valiantly to block his brother's obnoxious singing out from his head. Then put an end to it altogether when he announced, "Shit, I need to call Redbud."
