"I asked her about it, and she denied it."<br />

"So? Not as if it's any <strong>of</strong> your business in the first place."<br />

"I also heard you're Kesai's half-sister."<br />

She harrumphed, "Yes, I'm related <strong>to</strong> that chubby, mewling, hook-nosed<br />

day-dreamer. Same father, different mothers. So?"<br />

"I was hoping you could help me find out if Kesai is really Ravel's daughter."<br />

Kimasxi frowned. "Normally I'd <strong>be</strong> loathe <strong>to</strong> help you like this, but I've a<br />

feeling it'd upset that flirting, preening <strong>do</strong>xy good and well. Tell her <strong>to</strong> ask<br />

our father... he's a powerful cambion, so she ought <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> able <strong>to</strong> call <strong>to</strong> him<br />

"You wish you were half-Kimasxi, sod... even if you ended up with a goat's<br />

bum on your shoulders it'd <strong>be</strong> <strong>be</strong>tter than that scarred-up face <strong>of</strong> yours."<br />

~~~~~<br />

Kesai-Serris smiled warmly when I returned, pushing a wavy lock <strong>of</strong> hair<br />

away from her bright, crimson eyes. "Don't worry; I <strong>do</strong>n't stay upset long.<br />

Something I can <strong>do</strong> for you, hmmm?"<br />

"Kesai, I talked <strong>to</strong> Kimasxi. She <strong>to</strong>ld me she's your half-sister, and that<br />

Ravel's your mother."<br />
