[Avi stands in the living room of their plantation home, excitement rippling from her in droves. Todayās the day! Sheās twenty-one! She feels the elation roiling inside her, a disconcerting tingling lacing her joy. She can feel her bird-half, in a sense, pecking away at her. It wants to be there, it yearns to let the world see its happiness-no, her happiness-in all its avian glory. But where they needed to be going is the last place Estrella-the name she gave the impulses to preen or trill-would be welcome. So Avi tried her best to maintain composure, calling a memory of her Pater to mind as a guide. She had dressed herself up in her best business-casual, hair braided down to her belly button and her pin-speckled denim jacket hanging naturally over her frame. She fiddled away with a pin over her left breast pocket; it was a plain text pin, reading āAero-Aceā with the text colored in purple and grayscale. While she didnāt prefer the aromatic implications of the pin-she was Ace, not Aro-it was the best aviation pride pun-pin she could find. And on her big special day, she figured it would be the best time to affirm her identity to the ones she loved. But that could wait until after the DMV. Right now, she was waiting on her fathers, as without their signature she couldnāt take their name.]
