But anyway! She was excited because she was going to go find her new friend Hidaya and they were going to play together. Her friend didn't have a huge family like Hviske did, and eventually Hviske intended to introduce her to the rest of her family, but she didn't want to overwhelm her and, quite frankly, she didn't want to share her. It was very hard to have something all one's own in a large family. She liked having a friend that was just hers and no one else's. Well, no one else in her family, anyway. She guessed she could share with people who weren't family.
By the time she reached her friend's home Hviske's gait could practically be described as a prance and she was positively gleeful. This was going to be so fun.
