Juniper smiled, looking every bit as young as she was when she realised that she knew who he was talking about. "I know JP! He sleeps there," she pointed at the door that was JP's. "My room is next door to his. He's nice. I like him. Did you know he glows in the dark?" But then she stopped herself, flushing and ducking her head again. "I- you probably know that already."
She tilted her head, looking up finally and nodding. "I'd like that," she said honestly, looking more enthusiastic about that prospect. "My mom and dad bought a truck and I had to sit in the back under a sheet when we travelled."
She wrinkled her nose. "But you're not one of the handlers? So we can... we can be friends with you?"
