Phantom Hollow Out of you a sparrow comes

Where Lumiya saw the world in its true colour, Venamis' was void of certain shades. As he peeked out of the family's burrow to spy on his most unusual sibling, he looked upon hues that were primarily grey and red. It did not phase him, of course; the boy had never experienced certain colours, so to see through eyes unable to detect them was his version of "normal".

The palest of the Melonii brood contented herself beyond the threshold of the den, inspecting foliage and nosing around. Quiet and with an excited wiggle in the sway of his hips that accommodated his waggy tail, Venamis prowled after her with every intention of surprising her with a mischievous chomp on her flank.
