Paloma had been out wandering around, away from what few responsibilities she had. Her father had agreed to take care of Jeanette Isabella for the day, so she'd come down to the creek to dip her toes in.
She was playing a game with herself: how long could she keep her toes in the frigid water before she pulled them out? The answer was Not Long. She jerks her feet out of the water and giggles, tucking them under her legs to warm them while she leaned over the water, watching things float by. She's pretty oblivious to the world around her, but something catches at the corner of her vision. At first Paloma thinks it's a brightly-colored bird, because of the feathers, but then she notices it's too large. Oh, it's someone new! The Guardians always seemed to send her new playmates when she was in the forest.
Paloma stands up and walks over to the other woman, curiously. What pretty curly hair! Her wings looked almost like Father's, but ooh! She had a tail! What a fun new person!
"Hi!" says Paloma brightly.

"Well, that is true," begins Paloma, "But Father explained that me having a sister would mean he would have to have a daughter, and while he seemed a little reluctant to to give details, he said that there's a complex process involved in making a daughter, that you can't just find children in the woods like he found me and I found Jeanette Isabella, and Father'd have to find a mate, someone he loved very much, and he said he isn't really ready for that." She shrugs in sort of a what-can-you-do motion.
"What do you mean by a bookworm?" she asks, tipping her head to the side. Paloma isn't really all that naive, but she'd been relatively isolated her whole life, so if Father didn't say it, and Jeanette Isabella didn't say it, she doesn't generally know what some words mean. "Is Andromeda older or younger than you?" she asks, dying to know more about sisters.
