Huh. I like it - characters feel right, especially Henry's bounce and Will's random-font-of-insight. And really, it'd fit pretty smoothly into Emocezi's 'verse.

Is Cee a character you created? (Haven't read any of your Sanct stuff.)

Nits: you might want to skim through in a day or two - there's a couple places that are a little odd. (There's one point around the kitchen table that 'all three boys yelped', but there's four at the table...)
