"She's a dragon?" The elder twin whispered, eyes wide, pointing at Venya.

Leona puffed her chest proudly. "Mummy is Goblin Princess!"
Thristle waved. "Me and Vegi-chan are hobgoblins. I'm a princess too, and she's my general! I am My King's naughty wife."
Vegia gave a small, graceful wave, smiling slightly, "Not his wife."
Zerra raised a hand lazily. "Just their driver. Name's Zerra. Call me Ze. Way easier."
All eyes turned to Arisha next.
