With not much else to do, you walk over and sit by Raven at the desk. You see she's reading more of Druid Spiritualism.

"I should apologize to you, too," you say to her.

"What for?" she says.

"Well, for almost breaking Gaia's seal just so I can confirm my suspicions."

"Oh please, you don't need to apologize to me," she says. "I know a thing about a dark secret."

"Very true. Then, I should thank you for being understanding."

"You're welcome," she smiles as she turns the page.

You sit and read over her shoulder as she comes to the section about the Spirits' family tree.

Gaia of the Earth and Neam of the Sky and Heavens are the beginning. From them are born Aedo the Light Spirit, Heldra the Shadow Spirit, and of course elemental spirits like Udwa the Nature Spirit, Uidre the Water Spirit, Faraera the Fire Spirit, Vindar the Lightning Spirit and the countless nameless Stone and Wind Spirits around the world.

Udwa is mother to many smaller Nature spirits, such as Nal, Dwav and Styn that Raven made friends with in California, but without any father to speak of, and are thereby organized as Gaia's Grandchildren. Uidre is the same, being the virgin mother of cloud spirits around the world that create the rain and snow and storms for her, but all those Spirits are instead Neam's Grandchildren.

Spirits that represent qualities and concepts, such as Paeshae the Spirit of Strength, Zulnis the Spirit of Time, Uzai the Spirit of Space, and Vywyn the Spirit of Speed are all born of Neam and humanity, or so the legends say. They're grouped as Neam's Bastards.

"I get that by the definition of the word, that's what they are," Raven says, "but that seems a bit mean."

"Well it's as you said, it's the literal definition," you say. "The Druids didn't mean it to be cruel, just logical."

"Then I guess that makes me Trigon's Bastard," Raven says.

"Oh. I suppose so. But I never even thought of that."

Raven goes back to reading, and you go back to reading over her shoulder.

"Are you going to keep doing that?" she asks.

"Why? Is there a problem?"

"Well, it's just that I'm not used to someone reading over my shoulder like this."

"Raven, we've done so much together, and yet you aren't comfortable with me having my head by your head?"

She just squints and frowns at you.

A) Reluctantly move over and read something else
B) Tease her by getting closer
