"Amazing," Cael breathed, at a loss for words as a small smile graced his lips. "She's beautiful," he smiled, looking up at Faina to gauge her reaction. Faina beamed with pride as he held her little ChooChoo, "My great grandfather got her for me years ago. He said it reminded him of me. When I asked him why he said 'because she is small, pale, and beautiful, just like you,'" Faina choked on the last few words. Great Grandfather Draco was the only person who thought Faina was beautiful. She absolutely adored him, he was the closest person to her in her family, he was even closer to Faina then Faina's own twin brother. A single tear slid from her eye.
