Guess I never dealt much with animals. [That wasn't entirely true. She'd been face to face with a number of them on the farm in Lothering but... she usually left her siblings to deal with that. She much preferred lighting things on fire where no one could see. Besides, most animals seemed unnerved at a children mages.]

[Or maybe it was just her. And the occasional bolt of lightning.]

Can't say I got to know many cats. There were the occasional stray in the barn, but my sister hogged them. Not many cats survived in Kirkwall. Maker, not many animals survived there, really. Turns out, small animals make perfect food for starving refugees.
