Kestrel remembered how it felt to lose to her father at Bite and Sting, at Borderlands, at anything he chose to play. The dig at her pride. A hurt certainty that she'd never be able to prove herself to him. Embarrassment for wanting to prove herself.She remembered her hands clinging to his jacket, her whole self reduced to two claws as she pleaded with him.War wasn't a game, but she wanted badly to make her father know how it felt to lose.
