Chapter 21 p23 – That’s a depressing shortlist
Sparrow: Gimme a second here, Jany.

Okay, I know this. I know the bird Beings! Process of elimination . . . it’s not a swan, a heron, an osprey . . . What do cormorants look like?
Miranda: Like this.
Sparrow: And why do you want it away from its Master? Because if it turns out it used to belong to your mom, and you miss it . . .
Miranda: Poe told you what his last Master used to have him do, remember?
Sparrow: . . . Yeah. Dogfighting. Not like with Patrick, but with real dogs.
Miranda: Well, the Cormorant is in the same business. Along with the Raven, it was on my shortlist of Beings to buy . . . depending on whose Master died first.
*Twitch* The being…is being used…for dogfighting real animals…
Yep. now count how many different ways that’s god awful! I’ve got at least 7.
