"Well, like you said, it's not easy for us to get it, either. What does being alive for centuries even mean?" Sunny pulled a face. "Four hundred years, that's... Shakespeare and early colonialism. And that's a time scale we can still understand. Then you get to goddamn Sidhe princes that are eons old. It's more time than you can fit into your head. And even that's young by some measures. There are creatures that have been walking the Earth since there was an Earth to walk." And some that had been even before that, but zooming out further wasn't necessary.
Shaking her head, Sunny tried to come back to the point. "And sometimes there's just that whole 'other' thing, too. Can't be too ethnic for the white people. Can't be too inhuman for the human. Being too much what you are around people who just aren't ready, well... The one thing that I think we've all got in common is we want to connect. We don't want to be alone. And sometimes you learn that the way to do that is to keep certain doors closed. If you know where you're looking, you can find all kinds of strangeness in London, and almost all of them are trying to pass for vanilla mortal as a matter of survival."
Something that she thought Angelique would understand very well, if meeting her siblings as a boy was anything to go by.
