"Kali, you really are exactly like Esther," I say, hugging Kali, who's latched onto me sucking my breasts. She feeds so intensely, almost compulsively, whenever Esther shows up and talks about eating.
Normally she's more restrained, but since yesterday Esther said she'd eat me, and Kali overheard and got it all confused, today she's trying to take everything she can so she won't be "stolen" by Esther again.
"Mommy!" she murmurs against my breast without even pulling her mouth away to speak. She even tugged my shirt up to free both my breasts so she could suck from both. Her hunger is kind of funny, but her jealousy makes me tense.
Because every day, with every behavior like this, I remember what Saluvia said about Kali, and I remember what Esther says about a dragon's instincts. I don't know if Kali inherited instincts like a dragon's, but the fact is she's way too clingy.
