Meeting Terry

Shortly afterward, Aleksis returned with her two younger siblings, London and Rune. The two boys were not happy having to go back home. They were engrossed in playing with their herd of sheep, but when they saw their mother's grim face, they immediately relented and asked what had happened.

To avoid Finland having to repeat her story, Aleksis told her brothers what happened. Her two younger siblings looked very surprised.

If Aleksis looked a lot like her mother, then 9-year-old London was the spitting image of his father; he also had black hair, a pair of bright blue eyes and charming dimples, while the 7-year-old Rune did not look like any of his parents. His hair was dirty blond and he had slightly slanted blue eyes, which made him look mysterious. If the three of them stood in a line, people would not think that they were siblings.

"Oh... that's horrible..." London said sympathetically. He could not imagine losing both his parents at once.
