“Now remember, Maya, when we go to the city you have to always be holding my hand or Mother's hand.”
“Okay.”
“No running off.”
“Okay, Mia.”
Misty Fey smiled as she watched Mia lecturing Maya with all the gravity of her twelve whole years of experience, as Maya danced from foot to foot, impatient to be doing something. “What did your sister tell you, Maya?” Even though Mia had done an excellent job of outlining the rules, it didn't hurt to check that they had connected in Maya's mind.
“Don't run off and hold hands. Can we go?”
“Very well. We'll take the train, I believe.”
“You'll like the train, Maya. You can look out the window and see the trees flying past.”
“They fly?” Maya hopped on one foot and spread her arms as though they were wings, flapping them with a degree of enthusiasm Misty rarely witnessed outside her youngest daughter. “I wanna fly, Mia!”
“I don't think that's something we've learned to do with the Kurain technique, yet,” Mia said, glancing to Misty for confirmation. Then, before Maya could get too disappointed, she had swooped in and picked her sister up under the arms, and swung Maya around until she was staggering and they were both giggling.
“That's like flying,” Maya gasped.
“Like flying indeed,” Misty agreed. “Perhaps if you get bored looking out the window of the train, I'll tell you a story about another little girl who liked to fly.”
But Maya did not get bored on the train. She spent the whole trip kneeling on her seat, nose pressed to the glass, wide eyes staring at the world zooming past outside the window, reminding her mother somewhat of a puppy with its nose against a pet shop window.
“That was the best,” Maya informed her mother and sister as they disembarked the train. Mia had gone to take Maya's hand before the train had finished grinding to a stop, and she was the one who helped Maya navigate off the train as Misty followed them, keeping her eyes on both of them.
“I've got to drop some papers off, and then I'll take you both to lunch. There's a place nearby that I think you'll both really like.”
“Sounds great, Mom,” Mia said.
Maya wasn't paying Misty quite so much attention; she was focused on watching all the different kinds of people. Mia tugged her hand to get her to come along, and Maya obediently followed her sister, though she kept looking around. Misty led them to the office where she had met with the lawyers, and handed the envelope full of completed forms to the young assistant.
“Thanks, Mr. G. will appreciate this.” The youth glanced beyond her, to where her daughters stood. “Hey kitten.”
Mia frowned. “I am not a kitten, and it is improper to refer to the daughter of the Master of Kurain channeling as a kitten unless she wants you to call her that. And I don't.”
Maya looked up at her sister, then she glared at the young man and made a hissing sound.
“You'd best be careful,” Misty advised him. “Even kittens have claws.”
“So I see. Thanks for the warning, Mama Cat.” The boy bowed to them, and Mia tossed her hair and led Maya towards the door.
Misty led them to the burger place she had found, and slid into the booth opposite her girls. Maya climbed in first, and then Mia sat between her sister and the opening of the booth, providing a buffer between Maya Fey and the rest of the world.
“I'm glad to see you're able to stick up for yourself around young gentlemen,” Misty told Mia.
“That boy? He thought he was special, but I didn't see anything so special about him. And no one should call me or Maya anything unless we say it's okay.”
“Good for you. You're a strong young woman, and that's important. I'm proud of you, Mia. Sometimes I wonder if I tell you that enough.”
“I proud of Mia,” Maya announced.
“And I'm proud of you,” Mia told her. “And don't worry, Mom, I know you're proud of me. And Maya.”
“Yes, Maya's been doing very well on her first big trip to the city.”
The waiter brought them burgers. Maya poked at hers at first, frowning, but when she saw her mother and sister eating them she took a bite. “Yummy!”
“Swallow before you speak, please, Maya,” Misty instructed.
“Sor-” Maya began, and then she stopped herself and swallowed before saying, “Sorry.”
“That's my girl.”
“How do you like the city so far, Maya?” Mia asked.
“I like it. It's lots of fun and people. We should come back lots and lots.”
“Lots and lots, huh?” Mia glanced at their mother, one of those looks that Misty was learning to recognize as her thinking about saying something that her mother might not entirely like. “I was thinking maybe I would live in the city when I got bigger. For a while, anyway.”
“Could I come, too?”
“Someone would have to stay with Mother in the village and learn to be the Master of Kurain. But you could visit me a lot, and I could visit you.”
“I'd like to visit you in the city. But you shouldn't leave me.”
“It wouldn't be for a few years, anyway. But we can't both be Master, and I think you'd do better at it.”
Misty cleared her throat. “Mia's right, Maya. It wouldn't be for a few years, because she's much too young to go off and leave us now - and we'd miss her too much.” Misty paused a moment to smile at both her daughters. “Besides, I want both of you to remember that it's important, Master or not, to spend time away from the city and all the people so that you can connect with the spirit world, or else you'll have trouble with channeling.”
“Yes, Mother,” the girls chorused, for once doing an impersonation of a pair of angels.
“Now if you hurry up and eat those burgers we might have time to buy some ice cream before we have to catch the train back to Kurain.”
When they finally were on the train back, Maya fell fast asleep, curled against Mia's side. Misty beamed at her daughters, glad to know they were so close, glad to know there would always be someone besides her to look after her little Maya.
