Redhawk Caldera One day you'll figure me out

Towhee's reassurance brought her some sense of relaxation. Right, Bushtit had taught her Ptero. She wasn't fluent in the least, but it was better than nothing. Bushtit taught me some of it, Soto wanted me to learn. I guess it was a good thing I paid attention. Whether or not Delos would pick up on it, she wasn't sure. He already had two different languages stuffed into his vocabulary, could he learn a third? I just want to be a good mother to him.

When Towhee questioned her about Delos' strange appearance, she had to think for a moment before elaborating. He looks a lot like me, but.. whiter? His fur is thinner too. Did that make sense? She wasn't sure. He's always getting sunburns, and it's left his skin really dry. I've stopped letting him stay out in the sun when it's too bright but I feel horrible, he thinks he's being punished. Frowning, she shook her head. It would make more sense if you saw him. A couple months ago he got it bad, he hadn't been outside for very long but it looked like he had been boiled.

I'm just not sure what to do. Where I grew up you barely saw the sun at all, I had a brother who burned quick like him but it was never this bad.
