Valery frowned slightly when Miss Hestia chastised her and nodded. "Sorry Miss Hestia," she said quietly. She didn't want to make Miss Hestia mad at her. If she did then she might leave like Mummy had or like Daddy and Mama Rose... she was big enough to know that she wouldn't have anyone to take care of her then.
When Misser Lee said he was trying to get her home she didn't say anything but felt a little bitter stab. She knew it.
Her spirits raised a little when he called her 'little bit' again and she smiled at him. "I told him about the werewolves and the unicorns and Daddy and Mama Rose, and you, and Say Benny, and-" she didn't think that Hestia really wanted to hear all of that and just stopped.
When Misser Lee offered to 'help get her home' Valery bounced slightly, thinking it was a great idea.
"But wait! What about Daddy? We didn't find him yet," she told them. "And Miss Hestia, where's Say Benny?"
