Auster's frown deepened. "I don't know what your bones look like, I've never seen what a wing like yours would look like underneath the feathers." Auster was finding himself getting frustrated. He wasn't sure how to act around a foal, it was obvious.
"Incessant means constant. As in, all the time." He looked down at her, a thoughtful look in his normally expressionless eyes. "I suppose that is right. Do you learn a lot by asking questions?"

Phaedra nodded happily. "I know what constant means. So... Incessant and constant are the same thing? That means they're synonyms!" She grinned, and nodded again. "Of course! Well... Sometimes, anyway. Other times, the grown-ups don't know how to answer, or they get mad and don't tell me. A few times, though, Mama said I wasn't old enough to know stuff, and that I'd learn myself in time. Don't you ever ask questions when you don't know stuff, Auster?"
