To my loyal readers, an apology that this took so long. I'm still trying to find ways to balance my writing schedule with working full time. I suspect it will always be a challenge, but I'll try to get better at it.
In case you're a new reader,
the first Feather-Blessed story is here.

Given the glimpse of the aerie keeper, Home is established in the story, and I think that should resolve somehow, though that doesn't have to be by going or staying there.
They've been thinking a bit about what they're lost or given up by becoming dragons -- so far it's nothing that's really binding them to this place. The connections we've seen for them other than with each other have all been fairly negative -- neither of them has a happy home life, and beyond that before this chapter a possible interest in staying in school has been the only other thing tempting them to stay. They're short on friends, to be so sad not to've made friends with this girl. (Also, their current location is now three out of three for abused children, which is not making it look like a nice place to stay at all.) Should severing ties be as simple as figuring out how to say goodbye to Mrs. B so that she doesn't worry about them?
Grace has been making all the decisions and dragging Stella with her -- I'd like to see Stella decide for herself which path to take, somewhere along the way.
