Rien was too impressed to reply to Kier's taunt. He stepped past Kier and extended his hand to Ina.
"I'm Rien, Kier's brother."
"I presumed so," said the Witch. "You look alike. A lot. And your voice is the same." Ina took Rien's hand. He guided her into the house gently and pulled a chair from the table so she could sit.
"It's the same with our other brother and father," said Rien.
"There's more of you?" Ina sat.
"Did I not say I didn't want anyone in here?" said Kier.
"You did." said Medes across the room. "But I think I'm the only one listening to you."
Peppermint jumped on and off the table. Cinna was close behind. She almost caught the fox that time.
