that’s not my story to tell,” he said. “Anyway, when I got to really know him, he was so high power that it just blew me and everybody else away. You’d never have guessed it from what he was like as a kid. He wasn’t arrogant about it, or at least not much, but he just kicked ass on nearly every talent, even back then when they weren’t fully developed. Major Caster, good intuitive sense of spells and had the interest to really study the lore. Great Demonsense, and a really stellar Exorcist. He could do Divining, but it never really held his interest. He’s as good a Warder as I am, and he can do a little Healing too. Not much of a Reader in terms of tells, but he’s a high power Reader of energy. I think the only talent he doesn’t have at all is Animal Master.”
    “Lordy, I can see why he went for Keeper. But with that mix, wasn’t there ever concern he was a…” Bree hesitated, not wanting to say too much in front of Hunter. She silently mouthed the words Demon Master .
    Kevin got his guilty look again. “There were rumors, but there always are.”  
    “Rumors about what?” Steve asked from the door. He came in, dropped a kiss on the top of Bree’s head, and sat down on the bed next to Kevin. He was more than a head taller, slender and blond, and they made a bit of a Mutt and Jeff picture when side by side.  
    “About Daniel,” Bree answered.
    “Ah, the so interesting Mr. Thorvaldson,” Steve said archly. “I would love to hear some rumors.”
    “Well, I’m certainly not going to repeat any,’ Kevin said primly. “Stories, though, I’ve got. I was telling Bree about when Daniel and I were in school together. He was kind of the powered equivalent of a jock at school because of his abilities, and I was a nerd and a lowly, one-talent Warder. But Daniel took up with me. I think he basically didn’t like bullies, and I wasn’t being treated that well. I think he did it to be nice at first, but then we hit it off.”
    Hunter looked up, caught by something in Kevin's tone. He got up off the floor and clambered onto Kevin’s lap. “Don’t be sad, Daddy,” he said, giving Kevin a hug.  
    Steve put an arm around Kevin’s shoulder, and looked down at Bree. “See now, I wouldn’t have caught sadness just from Kevin’s voice,” Steve remarked. “I assume you felt a little sad remembering being hassled in school?” he asked Kevin.  
    Kevin nodded and told Hunter, “I’m not really that sad about it any more, pumpkin.”
    “Pardon the question from the clueless normal here, but could you do that at Hunter’s age?” Steve asked Bree.  
    “Oh yeah,” Bree answered, still absent-mindedly playing with the train. “My parents thought I was just ‘too sensitive.’ Fortunately, Hunter will have more support and understanding than I had with my poor normal parents. Thank heavens it was you two who adopted him.”
    “I’m a Reader,” Hunter announced importantly.
    “Yes sweetie, we think you’re a Reader,” Bree replied.
    “And I’m an Animal Master. I’m Master of Tyrannosaurus Rex!” he said gleefully, and started to bounce up and down on Kevin’s lap.
    “I’m sure you would be if they weren’t extinct,” Steve laughed.
    The doorbell chimed, and Hunter leapt off Kevin’s lap and charged for the door. “You’d think he was a dog the way he rushes for the door whenever someone comes over,” Steve said as he bent over to help Bree straighten Hunter’s toys. Hunter, clearly having overheard the comment, began barking.  
    Kevin went to get the door and a moment later, Hunter dragged Daniel in to join them. “And this is my train set,” he was saying. “I made the trees.” Daniel dutifully bent over to inspect the trees after a quick greeting to the others in the room. He was wearing all brown today, sweater and cords. So much for Bree’s theory that he was still holding onto being a Keeper by wearing blue.
    “Okay little man, time for your bath,” Steve announced
