This one [Anna Banana] had a ‘tude. Sunny humored her with a charming laugh. ”Ever seen a rainbow, kiddo?” He waggled his eyebrows at her. Sun and rain? Not all that contradicting if you really put your noggin’ to the test. All in good fun though. She wasn't the first to point it out and wouldn't be the last. No skin off Sunny's back! Though his jovial spirit did take a momentary pause when the other youngling [Fireheart] spoke again. ”…………….” But she couldn’t have known, ”it’s a touchy subject.” A sore spot, if you will. No matter! After THIS scoop, he’d be back in the bizz. No problemo.
These kids, they were popping up like an unexpected raincloud. It was fantastic! Keep 'em comin'! The more quotes he could get the better, especially if they were to back each other up. Reliability of sources mattered. He positively beamed at Kitt Lazarus and diligently took notes as the strapping young kidderoni began speaking…… Until he realized that none of that information was of any use to him.
Scratching that. Scratching all of that. No offense, kid, but house elves are not the type of story he was after. He made a big show of scratching out those lines before looking up to address Kitt l-a-z-a-r-u-s. ”That’s great stuff, kid, and I mean really, but not the scoop I’m lookin’ for.” There was one thing about the occurrences he shared that caught Sunny’s interest. ”Tell me more about outside… any funny business with the sky?” He leaned in real close, as if sharing a joke with an old friend, before turning to the girl dawning robes of blue [Sunflower]. He gave her a knowing smile. ”A fellow investigative journalist!” Excellent! She should know how to answer questions then. ”Have you taken note of anything out of the ordinary? Anything whacky going on outside?”
