Redtail Rise Melt

oblivious to the drama surrounding his family, tuesday's dawn was content as ever.
he spent his days with Tall One and Milk Giver (his own way to chime in on his family's practice of giving nicknames), playfully bullying White Boy and Pale Girl who he'd come to know as his siblings. it never truly dawned upon him that there was a world beyond the den. why did he need to go outside? everything he needed was right here!
but sometimes, he was a little curious. today, Big Eyes — his elder sister — came to the den with a souvenir from her otherworldly travels. it smells weird and looks painful in a way tuesday's dawn could not describe. he shuffles forward on wobbly little legs, a suspicious furrow knit deep in his boyish brows. he glances up at her as if to ask, what the hell am i looking at?
