Redhawk Caldera Just a harmless prank...

She couldn't hear her brother's giggle, nor would she ever. It would probably be another few weeks before the adults realized something was wrong. Meanwhile, Towhee remained blissfully oblivious. She had no idea she was missing out on a fun new sensory development. Even when she grew up and learned that she lacked an entire sense, Towhee would never really miss something she'd never even had in the first place.

When Titmouse came gamboling in her direction, she happily swatted at him. Because she wasn't very coordinated yet, she lost her balance and tipped onto her left hip. Unfazed, she continued swiping her little paw at her rambunctious litter mate, a playful growl vibrating her throat even if it would never reach her useless ears. She liked all of her siblings—the adults too, for that matter—but Titmouse stood out from the others, particularly due to his pale coat and wily ways.
