Yes, Fitz agreed as Sophie fought to block the voices that kept

haunting her. And you used to help her sleep, didn’t you?

HELP! SOPHIE! SLEEP! Silveny agreed, sending a blast of warmth

along with a memory of the two of them soaring together in the sky.

him. It didn’t solve the baby checkup conundrum—but at least Silveny

was cooperating. And hopefully once they were in regular contact, she

could figure out what was really keeping the stubborn alicorn away.

sedatives.

wider when Silveny said, SOPHIE! TALK! SOON!

Soon, Sophie agreed.

in smoothing her disaster of a ponytail.

“I’m sure that’s what it is,” he teased. “And I take it those

triumphant smiles you had a few seconds ago mean Silveny finally

agreed to come in for a checkup?”
