Swiftcurrent Creek Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime

last post for me too

The sudden realization her older brother had was lost on her. Maera was not yet able to comprehend or value the importance of life, as small or insignificant as it were. For her the dying bird was just a toy Mommy had brought along.

A toy she wanted to play with, but didn't. Because Valtyr's sudden wails and Larus' passivity discouraged the little girl to take any action against the bird. That's why, without glancing back at the agonizing animal she crawled behind Valtyr and coiled up against mother. Oblivious or ignorant to the reason her beloved brother wailed.
