Tarquin stared at her with an inscrutable expression for a moment before asking, "Is there anything extraordinary about your son?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do they, compared to other kids, show any unusual traits?"

Elysia confidently and assuredly said, "Not at all. They are just ordinary kids. Oh, they are quite smart though."
