"Yes, ma'am, that's quite right," Perry confirmed pleasantly when Betony mentioned her understanding of what his involvement was. This was a legal and magical conundrum, but together, he was certain they could figure it out. The Shadowsoul was sure of it.
As Stripes clarified more about the reason for their call, diCarto decided to open. "Yes, that's correct. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand from what Stripes has told me that you guys would like to have Maggie be privately adopted," he said. "I thought it would be wise to get in touch with you to get a bit more information." Perry wasn't one to fling around the word 'powers', but he definately felt that the special traits of a potential adoptee from the Hedge might be relevant to the question of safely adopting them out.
