"Blank's family back in White Tooth were all nice and… well, normal," Elayne explained. "Maybe his sister was a little obsessive, but there is nothing wrong with a clingy girl, right?"
"Yeah, sure," Sailor sighed. "Hm, we are drawing closer. What are we doing now? Are we still pretending we are slaves?"
