Stranger yet, they're fully grown! You'd think they could get by without me. But when you consider how fond Clair is of Clive... Well, perhaps children just naturally look up to elder brothers and sisters. ...Hmm? How many sisters do I have? Four, actually. I love them, but they can be quite trying sometimes.
