Chapter 3b - The after the library meeting
Rhiannon just shook her head, her lips curled into a smirk at the irony. "For the record, I don't know anything other than what I heard here. And all that is probably still not what I think it is. Also for the record, I'm not used to being the one trailing behind everyone else, so if I get a little grumpy, you'll know why. Also, that's why I was eager to come. Not that Cordelia's invitation actually had an opt-out clause. But now that I am here, and all my curiosity has been compounded, I'm not quite ready to go back. Maybe I'll never be."
"okay, my turn to share. I was in foster care my whole life, I have no idea who my real parents are. What I do know is that I was always better at most things than my peers. By most, I mean everything I cared to be better at. I remember the 'alien-invasion' story. I always thought it was a utter nonsense. Some coverup of something worse. Although that was really a bit daft of me, because I cold paint pictures to transport myself wherever I wanted. Why should aliens be so far-fetched? I never considered that I wasn't the only one who cold do that until I got the invitation and Cordelia gave me a massive headache. Now I know that I'm an 'alien', you all are my family, and I've been missing out."
"I expect my true parentage will come out eventually. I really don't have a home to save or protect. But if it's important to you all, I'll help. If Cordelia is right, then we're at least cousins and family is family. If not then I might just go poof when trying to walk a magical pattern inscribed in the ground. So, all lovely."
