Mina looked at Shadow and looked at Esme thoughtfully, unknowingly starting to brush over the bird's feathers as she thought. The girl seemed to have a difficult time here, since she arrived. She had been introduced as Hag's sister, but their relationship seemed to aim towards much more than just that. The look on the girl's face as Hag lay his hand on Chance, the clowngirl he had obviously craved for so long, was filled with doubt and disappointment. She looked up as she took note of her own actions, petting Shadow gently. She had never been quite fond of the bird, but for some reason he felt comfortable to have on her shoulder. She had foggy memories about her evening of feeding, but faintly remembered Shadow, so she figured it must be because of that. Upon hearing Shadow speak she looked up interested and continued to pet the bird. 'So Hag and Mortimer were ordered to come back here or something bad happens to all of us? Wow, never looked at Hag as somebody that could be ordered around. Who is that "High Father" person you speak of Shadow?' she asked.
