What is it with her boys shutting down in the face of emotions? She smiles, genuine and sweet.

"Better, now. I don't suppose you'd recognize me, not like this."

She tips her head, and gives him a gentle look.

"My name is Gipsy Danger."

To be fair, neither their mother nor their sister had trained them how to deal with crying women. Domonique never cried in front of them that Yancy can recall, and Jazmine had usually been quick to chase them off or yell at them whenever they caught her crying once she hit the teenage years. But, that is neither here nor there. He relaxes when she smiles, relieved that the threat of tears seems to have passed for the moment.

"I..." he trails off, concern replaced once again by confusion over her words. It doesn't get much better when she introduces herself. The young ranger stares at her, emotions ranging from disbelief to annoyance to pure bafflement playing across his face. Clearly he does not know what to make of her. "Gipsy? How-?"

"I don't know," she says honestly, lifting her shoulders in a half shrug. "I cannot explain this. Every particle of my being demands rational and an explanation, but unfortunately, there is none. I can come up with nothing save that it had to do with my arrival here."

Being so small, so tiny like this -- it was equal parts terrifying and fascinating.
