Vysela turned to Markolin, frowning, "I told you, I'm not a kid anymore!"

"No one said you're a kid."

"Then stop treating me like one."

Markolin chortled, "Jeez. I only told Nikolai to help you unpack. I know you're perfectly capable of anything, little sis. We just want you comfortably rested. Right, Nikolai?"
