Summary
Everyone expects Alpha to settle as something big and tough. Everyone expects Theia to settle as something light and quick. Everyone expects Quark to settle as something clever.
Well. Maybe it isn’t accurate to say everyone, because really, the only people who expect that from them are Adam, Bree, and Chase themselves.

“Do you ever worry you’re not going to settle into something you want?” Leo asks. [...]
“Is this about you and Silvius?”
“I just… we never felt like a squirrel.” Leo tries very hard not to sound resentful as he pets Silvius’ ears. “I mean, I know daemons run in families and all, and it’s not like I think my mom is lame for having Cirrus, honestly, I just…”
Chase and Quark exchange a glance before Chase looks Leo up and down, scrutinizing. Honestly, he never gave much thought to what Silvius and Leo would eventually settle as. Whatever it was, it would be right for them, and that was that, right? (Somehow, he’d never managed to apply that to himself.)
“Well,” he said thoughtfully, “you’re resourceful. And you’re determined. And you’re clever. And you’re friendly, and nice, and all that.” He shrugs, then smiles. “And you’re really fast when you play dodgeball. So I think it fits. Even if it doesn’t seem like it at first.”
“You’re you,” Quark says gently. Her feline ears twitch. “Whenever you settle, that’s just more of you. It doesn’t change who you are. It just makes you more of yourself on the outside.”
