The newest members of the Royal Family are an open secret. Prin Ghost made little effort in either hiding or showing their existence. The residents of the White Palace keep all close to their chests. The Moth Tribe knows of them through Hazewing, and Deepnest through Ghost's first confusing days of realizing what their eggs originally were.
What Quirrel knows--or what Quirrel thinks he knows--is a mystery. As much as their children, though not quite so obvious in intensity, they watch him.
The shiest stayed with Da. They're all very, very interested in Quirrel, and so only divert fourteen eyes from around his face down to his encroaching hand.
A little bit of the City's rainwater, diverted along the tops of many buildings and artfully into canals, sprays over to mist them all. Cinna twitches beneath it.
Fondly, Ghost brushes the remainder from their fur, and nods.
