The robot squid. Daine remembers that much, and doesn't think she's likely to forget it. The fact that the last squid she dealt with was more of a kraken probably doesn't help. She doesn't like to think about what that beastie would have been like if he'd been all-over metal.

The pigeons start to get back to her, flock by flock. None of them have seen Andrew. Daine thanks them for taking the time to check, but doesn't mention their findings to James. They're still heading in the right direction, anyway.

Something occurs to her, and she gives James a shrewd look. Why'd you call that two-legger 'human,' before? He seems pretty human to her, even with the telepathy. She could understand using 'human' if you're People inside like she is, but it can't be that, because he doesn't have any wild magic.
