This is a skill I don't believe I have ever had, and it's as natural as losing teeth to her. I'll circle an acquaintance for months before striking up an actual conversation, this one jumps right into the fray and makes her some damn friends. Even if it's just for 10 minutes. Fascinating creatures, children. She's definitely mine, but she's definitely her own.
