Noctisardor Bypass The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it.

Mama, why do birds?
This was one of the many questions that had erupted from Indra's mouth in the past few days.

Others included:
Why are rabbits food?
Why are fish in the water?
and,
Why is home so cold?

These would come at spontaneous times and without any consistency, often one after another even while @Laurel was answering something that Indra had already posed as a question; she was insatiable ever since her walkabout, wanting to know what everything was for, why it was the way it was, and other such nonsense.

It was completely inane but it helped to pass the time, even if it drove her mother (and most likely her brother) absolutely crazy.
