.The Council.

Shunbunmi was surprisingly a good company. We stayed up chatting through the whole night. The boys didn't sleep either. The loud sound of music mixed with occasional laughter and oud chattering continued through the night

"You have nothing to be afraid of in this house. Every one of us would die to protect you, you're family now," she whispered.

"So...how does that work? I really have to ask you what you mean by that. What does it mean for someone to be claimed?" I asked.

My question was met with a peal of loud laughter. "You like Lokun, don't you?" She asked me, still laughing.

"Don't you humans have a tradition of joining two souls together as one?"
