QUOTE : Echo stared at him, hands twitching into fists at her sides. As children, she and Ivy had taken to raiding the Ala's closet and parading about in her long, flowing gowns. More often than not, they were returned worse for wear. The Ala had given them both a stern talking-to and told them to never do it again. Naturally, Echo convinced Ivy to double their efforts. The Ala had figured out very early on that the fastest way to get Echo to do something was to tell her not to do it. Altairr had never paid her enough attention to learn that same lesson.
