[Shieba]

The Primal Paragon nodded. "It is rare that we have true guests. I hope you enjoy your stay. Indeed, I will have to get back to work now. Though I will certainly come by to see the children of my niece." He gave Hina and Ailys a smile. "I will tell the woman looking after your eggs that you have returned. You know how curious she is, it would be bad if she's still there when you come by with your guests." He quickly made his way back to the main area of the island.

"Well, here we are." Ailys waited until they were alone again. "We should probably go after him to check on the nest then."

"We should." Hina nodded. "Okay, you two. First we have to find you a place to stay. You are either allowed to stay near our nest or in the forest here on the island. If you want to train, the forest is the place to go, but you might miss the hatching then. Of course, you can always stay near the nest first and later move into the forest." Hina started to make her way towards her home. "Let's go."

Ailys and Hina led the boys through the nesting area of the tribe. There were only few Paragons about during the midday, most being away doing various tasks for the tribe. Some older ones were napping in their nests, though barely anyone payed attention to the little group for now. Ailys looked at the place where the hatchlings normally played, but it was deserted right now, the mothers keeping their little ones out of the sun during this part of the day.

"This is the main area, where we live", Hina explained. "As you can see, we have all kinds of Paragons here. We are around hundred members, though no one really counts. Sometimes, other Paragons from other tribes come to live with us or some move away to the other clans for finding mates. It's sometimes hard to do that within such a small community, where most people are related."

Ailys glanced at Kaamil, knowing that topic was probably not the best, but unable to do anything about it for now. She was glad when their nest came into sight, luckily without the Paragon female who had watched over the eggs until now.

"This is our nest!" Hina beamed. "And these are our eggs!" She immediately climbed in and checked the eggs. "No sign of them hatching yet. Oh well." She curled up around them. "See how colorful they are? Especially this one, it looks like a sunrise! I'm sure the little ones will be so stunning!"

Ailys put Kami's backpack down. "They might hatch every hour now, so at least one of us should stay close now. What do you two want to do? Look around some more? It's better if one of us goes with you then. Or do you want to train with Hina now, Kami?"

[Kodai]

It didn't take very long for the boys to figure out where they wanted to stay. "We'll stayss with you twoss until they hatchss! Then you canss kickss us out if you wantss," Kami laughed, joking a little on the last part. "We can trainss another dayss, after they've hatchedss and you wantss to spend some alone timess with them."

As they began to walk through the area where all the nests were, the pair couldn't stop turning their heads, trying to look at everything. Even if most of the tribe was away at the moment, there were still plenty of Paragon nests to look at, and because they were all built by different individuals, they themselves were all different. Whenever a nest did happen to be occupied, the two boys grew excited, pointing the dragon out to each other and discussing amongst themselves. Hina's comment on just how many Paragons lived here really got Kami going, however.

"A hundredss?! Wooooooooow, that's so manyss! Just thinkss, Kaamil! A hundred Paragonss all in one placess!" He clung to his brother's shoulder, almost jumping up and down.

"...Kami, one hundred inhabitants isn't really that large a number..." Kaamil tried to calm him, but it didn't have much of an effect.

"Iss can't waitss to see this place when it's fullss! Just imaaaaaginess, Kaamil!" A vision of Paragons of all species and sizes was clearly playing through Kami's head. Kaamil simply sighed, smiling, though it faded a little as Hina mentioned the need for some of the tribe members to seek mates elsewhere due to many of them being related. He realized that it was a good idea, however, especially for those who sought partners of the other gender and planned on raising families.

Predictably, when they finally reached Hina and Ailys's nest, Kami gave a squeal of delight and immediately attempted to clamber into the nest. Kaamil swiftly grabbed him by the back of his vest, however. "...Kami, don't do that...We haven't been properly invited and we don't want to cause damage to the nest...or the eggs..." he scolded gently, knowing that his brother was excited but not wanting him to forget his manners.

"A-Ah, rightss... Sorriess," Kami apologized, and leaned over the nest as far as he could to get a better look at the eggs. "Aahhh, they'ss so beautifulss...! The babiess are surely goingss to be beautifulss, too." He beamed at the two mothers-to-be... and then suddenly realized that Ailys had been carrying his backpack the entire time. "Ah! Sorriess, Miss Ailys! Iss would have takenss that; Iss forgotss you hadss it..." Scrambling over, he hoisted the pack onto his shoulders and then pondered Ailys's offer. "Actuallyss, that would be nicess. And since not a lotss of Paragonss are heress right nowss, we havess a little privacyss. Is that okiess, Miss Hina?" he asked, turning to the Paragon nestled around her eggs.

[Shieba]

Ailys was secretly very glad that the boys decided to stay with them. Even though she had known them for only such a short time, she had grown to like them a lot and trusted them, too. If everything would go well, then she would be very happy to share the experience with them. And if something went wrong...hopefully, Hina and Kami would be able to do something.

Both Paragons were amused when they saw how excited Kami and Kaamil, too, were when they saw the nests and other Paragon. "You'll see the rest of the tribe in the evening", Hina explained smiling to Kami. "We're one of the largest tribes here indeed, though I suppose Kaamil is right, compared to human cities, we can't compare in size. But well, yes, you humans are so small, so I guess seeing Paragons - well, the big ones - must be exciting."

Hina chuckled when Kami wanted to climb into the nest. She curled her tail around her eggs. "It's alright, Kaamil. As long as he is careful, your brother may climb in for a bit. These nests may look pretty fragile, with all the little twigs, but they can withstand quite a bit. I must ask not to touch the eggs, though. The shell is pretty fragile by now already." She beamed. "But yes, thank you! I'm looking so much forward to our babies!"

"Don't worry about the backpack, I barely noticed the weight." Ailys nudged Hina and they switched positions. "And I actually think it's a good idea to train now. We'll be both far more busy as soon as the little ones hatch, so now might be the best time."

Hina nodded. "That's true. Sounds like a good plan." She thought about it. "No matter what you want to learn, though, we need someone as a, well, test subject. And Ailys can't do it, thanks to her having no real internal organs." She looked at Kaamil. "So that would leave you, then. I know you're not one who likes to be touched a lot, but surely you don't mind if your brother does it, right?"

Ailys, from her comfortable position in the nest, was quite surprised by that sudden development. Kaamil wouldn't mind...right?

Hina, of course, knew nothing about what she was maybe causing. "So, what do you want to train?" she asked Kami. "I'm not a trained healer, so I wonder what I could teach you."

[Kodai]

"Seeingss any Paragon isss excitingss!" exclaimed Kami happily. "There'ss so many different typess and colorss that Paragonss can bess, so it'ss fun to seess what they all look likess!" Perhaps Hina and Ailys couldn't fully understand the concept since they were Paragons themselves, but for a human (a species in which variations were relatively minor and fell within certain parameters), seeing the vast array of differences that could occur within one species was astounding.

Now that he had actually been verbally given permission to enter the nest, Kami gave a small squeal of joy and attempted to climb into the nest without breaking any of the branches. It was difficult, but he finally managed to get in, now sitting across from Ailys and the eggs. Even though he really wanted to touch one, Kami resisted, as Hina had told him not to. Instead he wiggled in anticipation, staring at the three eggs as if that would help them hatch more quickly. "Ooh, so excitingss! Iss would never have imaginedss that Iss would comess out heress and seess a hatchingss!"

Now that Kami was actually in the nest and getting a good look at the eggs, it seemed that he had completely forgotten about training. Kaamil, however, had not. "...A-Ah...Yes...That should be fine..." he replied, though he didn't sound very certain. Truthfully, he wasn't sure how he felt about the idea. Yes, he and Ailys had had that lovely talk, but words were not physical, and this was so soon afterwards... However, this would be helping his brother, and for that reason alone Kaamil would be willing to act as test subject, regardless of whatever insecurities he might have. Turning to look at Kami, still absorbed by the eggs, Kaamil shook his head in amusement and asked, "...Kami...Did you even hear Hina's question...?"

"Huhwhass? ...Ohss!" Kami was snapped out of his reverie and looked at Hina sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head like he was wont to do. "Sorriess, Iss got carriedss away... Yus, okiess. Umss... couldss you maybe teachss me how to... 'feelss' into the bodyss like you doss? Iss can only tellss if someone'ss hurt by sensing emotionss or if they'ss obviously injuredss, so Iss thinkss that having an abilityss like yourss would be helpfulss. If that'ss even somethingss Iss can learnss?" For Kami, healing was an innate power and thus something he couldn't teach others. If Hina's powers were similar to his own, then they'd have to think of something else to practice.

[Shieba]

"I guess that makes sense", Ailys agreed. "Humans all look rather similiar, while there is much difference between Paragons. It's kind of normal for a Paragon, but I suppose humans must find it exciting." She smiled at Kami. "So, how is the nest? Your human beds are horribly uncomfortable for us Paragons, so I guess nests are to you not pleasant either, since they're pretty hard. Though your chairs are hard, too, but you don't sleep on them, after all."

"Seeing a hatching is pretty exciting to us Paragons, too", Hina agreed, "so I understand. It's always so very surprising how the little ones look, especially if two different kinds of Paragons get children. It's fun to see them grow up and guess every day a bit more what kind they will be. Though there is no guessing involved with ours - they'll all be Placids."

Ailys smiled understandingly at Kaamil, she imagined he would feel insecure, though she wondered how he normally coped. Wasn't he here with his brother without any means of doors between them? How did he do it when they bathed in the lakes on the islands? He surely had to be uncomfortable then as well; Ailys knew humans wore no clothing during baths.

"I think I can teach you that", Hina pondered, though also really amused and proud that Kami was so fascinated by her eggs. "It's what we get taught as healers first, to spot internal injuries. Though I don't know if I can explain really well...we'll see. We'll try and see if you can learn it. I don't know how much human powers differ from ours. But first, Kaamil, you will have to get rid of your fabric. In the beginning, feeling inside a body is a mixture of touching and using your healers senses, so the fabric will be in the way. I don't know why you humans wear it anyway."

[Kodai]

"Um, isss okiess," Kami replied, shifting a little. "Iss actually not so badss, for being madess out of branchess. Isss not like a bird'ss nest, where there'd be twigss poking outss everywheress. ...Isss remindss me of a wicker basketss, actuallyss. Still, Iss used to a bedss, yuss." He seemed confused when Ailys said that beds were uncomfortable. "Isss that truess? But they'ss so softss... Iss guess Paragonss just don't likess soft thingss that muchss? Or maybess it was just because it wasn't bigss enough for the bothss of you." The boy seemed to like this idea better. "Yuss, that must be itss~ You couldn't appreciatess it properlyss because it was too smallss."

Kaamil noticed Ailys's understanding expression and tried to calm himself a little. If he had known the questions she had, he would have said simply that they gave each other privacy during such times, and that he did indeed feel exposed... But he had no telepathy, and so he simply focused on Hina's comments. "...Ah, clothing...That's...Well, there are several different reasons...I suppose the most basic is for protection, as human skin is very thin compared to that of other species...We don't have scales or thick fur covering our bodies, so we need something else to protect us from the elements...Another is for the sake of modesty..." He shivered lightly. "...Many areas have deemed it criminal to go about completely...naked...Which I am sure must be an odd concept for you, but...that is how things are..." Giving a very faint sigh, Kaamil slipped off his jacket. "...I shall remove my shirt, at least...I should...imagine...that there isn't a need to...remove any more than that..." Folding the jacket, he placed it on the rim of the nest and then proceeded to remove his shirt, which was a sleeveless, turtle-necked top. After he had done so, he placed that on top of his jacket and climbed into the nest himself, sitting before Kami. From here, the scars of his sacrificial surgery could plainly be seen...

Although he noticed Kaamil's insecurity, Kami was glad that his brother was willing to act as training subject. This would be the perfect opportunity to further develop his healing skills! "Okiess, Miss Hina. Iss will do my bestss~ So whatss should Iss do firstss? Whatss do Iss needss to focus onss?"

[Shieba]

"They are too soft for us, yes", Ailys agreed, "but the main point is that they are not round and have no rim. We like to curl up to sleep and in a human bed, which is longer than it is wide, we can't do that. We also like to have a rim we can press our back against while sleeping. Beds just aren't made for us. All the pillows and blankets are just in the way, too." She laughed. "But that must be difficult for you to imagine, I suppose."

"Ah, protection." Hina nodded. "I guess I can understand that. But yes, it's weird. I mean, there are so many different species in this world, right? Yet humans are the only ones who think being without clothes is something to be ashamed of." Hina pointed to her hat. "I got that one from a human. I like it, because it makes me look taller, but I would never get the idea that my head would seem naked or exposed without it."

Ailys chuckled. "It's not really the head part humans are concerned about, Hina. More like the rest of it. But I agree, it's a bit hard to understand for us."

"Yeah." Hina watched Kaamil removing his shirt. "I mean, I can't really see anything bad that needs to be hidden. Really strange." She waited until Kaamil had climbed into the nest as well. "Okay, let's see. Normally, I'd say to start with the heart, since it's pretty easy, but that's missing here, so..." She pondered this. "We should still try this area. The bloodstream still has its main focus there, after all, and it'll be easier to feel the internal organs one afetr another by following the bloodstream. Put your hands on your brother's chest and spread your fingers to cover a wider area. It'll be hard without a heartbeat, but try to send your senses into his body and sense his blood flowing."

Ailys waited patiently, keeping an eye on Kaamil. She wondered how he would cope with this. He seemed more uncomfortable than being able to enjoy this, after all.

[Kodai]

"Oh, butss... not all bedss are likess that!" Kami exclaimed quickly. "Some are roundss! And some havess sides, toos, although usuallyss that'ss just for baby cribss. Iss sure that you couldss find a bedss you liked betterss, though, if you looked aroundss hard enoughss. Butss... Iss guess you really do likess your nest, so that'ss not so important anywayss." He gave Ailys a smile. "You madess this nest with Miss Hina, rightss? So it's really specialss to youss. That'ss most importantss, Iss thinkss."

Kami seemed amused by the two Paragons' confusion about clothing, but decided to focus more on the training that was about to begin. "Okiess, then. So..." Shuffling a little closer to Kaamil, he placed his hands on his brother's chest over where his heart would have been and splayed his fingers. "Kaamil... Tellss me if somethingss starts to hurt, okayss? Iss dun wantss to hurtss you, but since this isss trainingss..." He trailed off. They both knew that training could result in unintended injuries.

"...I will..." replied Kaamil, still sending out a slight sense of discomfort, though it was gradually being reined in and replaced with a more contemplative feeling. If all the touching remained in the general 'chest and upper/mid torso' area, then he'd be able to get through this just fine. Hey, perhaps he'd even grow to like it, depending on how the projection of Kami's senses felt...

"Okiess then." Closing his eyes, Kami attempted to do as Hina instructed and sense Kaamil's blood flow. He wasn't entirely sure if having his brother as a test subject would help him or hinder him in the long run, as their twin link with each other meant that he was already hypersensitive to how his brother felt physically. But perhaps that would simply make Kaamil a good starting point for easing his way into this method of feeling into another's body. His breathing slowed as he tried to sense his brother's pulse, tried to feel the blood as it circulated, without resorting to the link...

Kaamil could tell that Kami was having a difficult time getting started with this, and he knew exactly why. He also had an idea. "...Kami...Perhaps if you tried approaching this in the same way you use your healing ability, you'll be successful...You project your power into the body, right...? ...So try to do the same thing with your senses...Maybe even sending some of your power into me and attempting to follow it or control its direction would help..."

Although he didn't speak, as he wanted to try to remain as focused as possible, Kami did take note of Kaamil's suggestion and tried it, sending forth a small portion of healing energy to where Kaamil's heart should have been. However, that only resulted in the energy being absorbed, as if it were simply being drawn into a empty void. Undaunted, Kami tried again, this time directing the energy to the bloodstream itself. As the power was drawn into the blood vessels still there, the boy tried to hold on to the feeling of where they were and how the blood moved through them. Slowly, it seemed that Kami was beginning to get the hang of this...

[Shieba]

Ailys nodded. "Yes, I built this nest with Hina. And well, even if we were able to find a bed that would suit our needs and not be so soft, it would still not feel right. We Paragons take pride in our nests. They take a lot of work to make and even though it's in our instincts to build them, we are still happy and eager to do so. It's more than just a bed to us - it's like a home. Like you humans build houses."

Ailys observed Kaamil closely. She couldn't help with the training anyway, so the only thing she could do was maybe trying to get Hina to change her instructions if Kaamil should start to feel too uncomfortable. He seemed fine for the moment, though.

"That's a good idea, Kaamil. It's not like I usually heal, but Kami's power differ much from my own anyway, so if it helps and doesn't hurt you, it's fine. I'll touch your shoulder now so I can observe what Kami's powers are doing and what they're like more closely, don't be startled." She slowly touched Kaamil. "Ah, I see. You're doing good, Kami. Do you get a sense of this? If you do, try to follow the bloodstream with your senses in whichever direction you think it's easiest to an internal organ. The lungs are what's close by, but normally, other internal organs are easier to feel. Move your hands in whatever direction you choose to go. Go slowly if you are afraid of losing the connection."

Well, this was getting interesting. Ailys was unsure if Kaamil would like Kami having roaming hands on his body, but at least Hina was giving Kami the choice what to do. If Kaamil would get uncomfortable, he would probably feel more secure to direct his brother elsewhere than directly trying to go against Hina's instructions.

[Kodai]

Despite Hina's warning and her attempt to be as gentle as possible, Kaamil's skin shivered under her touch again. An unfortunate side-effect of his past... but at least it wasn't full-out recoil.

Still remaining silent, Kami gave a nod and tried to think while still keeping his senses focused on Kaamil's bloodstream. If the lungs were the closest, then perhaps that would be best, even if they were slightly more difficult to sense. And besides, if he wasn't able to feel the lungs, then he could simply go back up the bloodstream and try following another route to a different organ, like the stomach. Slowly, Kami inched his senses along, hoping that the particular path he'd chosen would take him to the lungs (and that he'd be able to feel them if/when he got there). Eventually, he did reach the end of what he could sense from the bloodstream as it flowed into something else, and here the boy had to try pushing forth his healing power again in order to feel what was there. As he hoped that he had finally reached the lungs, Kami directed his power to them, and was delighted to find that he could indeed sense Kaamil's lungs absorbing it. Trying to remain focused on them and feel them working was much more difficult, however. Carefully he sent out a continuous but small flow of power, doing his best to sense the expansion and contraction of the lungs as his brother breathed...

Surprisingly, Kaamil wasn't quite as uncomfortable with Kami's hands on his chest than even he had anticipated. Perhaps it was because the touch was fairly light and he knew how deeply Kami was trying to concentrate solely on training. What Kaamil wasn't so sure of was the way his brother was now pouring energy into him in a steady stream. He realized that this was helping Kami to concentrate, but Kaamil also knew that the more energy Kami expended, the longer he would need to rest later in order to recover himself. "...Kami...Just don't drain yourself..." he warned quietly.

[Shieba]

Ailys watched silently, not daring to interrupt Kami's concentration. She also didn't feel anything really bad from Kaamil, so things were looking pretty good for the moment. She glanced down at the eggs. If the babies would have supernatural senses like hers and since they were so close to hatching, could they feel something was going on? Ailys watched them closely, too, but couldn't see any movement so far.

Hina had felt Kaamil shiver, but didn't say anything, though she wondered why Kaamil was reacting so sensitive to her touch. But then, she concentrated on what Kami was doing. He had pretty good control over healing powers, as far as she could tell from the intensity he was emitting into his brother, but she shared Kaamil's worry. "Kami, if you rely on your powers so much to feel the organs, you would waste most of your magic before being able to locate an injury, if the case should ever happen. This wouldn't do. It helps nothing to locate an injury if you are too weak to close it then. Try lengthening the time between your uses of magic. Feel the organ, not your magic. I know this will probably take a lot of practice, but your brother is right. You might want to switch to an organ which is more closely tied into the bloodstream, to make it easier, though if you slowly get a feel for the lungs, that's good as well. You should probably pick one organ you are comfortable with and practice with that again and again." She looked at Kaamil. "That's alright for you, isn't it? If your brother trains with you from now on?" Since Kaamil reacted so strongly to her touch, she felt that she needed to ask.

[Kodai]

He had only meant to do it in order to help himself right now, but Kami knew that Hina had a point. Maybe he should work on finding an 'easier' organ first and try the lungs later... though now that he was in their location, he didn't want to give up on them so easily. Kami did stop the flow of his power, at least, but he remained focused. Besides, he was certain that he was just beginning to be able to feel them...

"...Ah, yes, of course..." Kaamil replied to Hina's question. "...We can simply add this to our regular routine..." The pair had long been honing Kami's healing abilities together, so this wouldn't be very difficult to incorporate into their daily training. It could even be considered as training for Kaamil, to be able to become more comfortable with being touched, although he seemed to be doing quite well with it so far. That was probably because Kami hadn't yet moved his hands from Kaamil's chest, however.

There...! As Kaamil spoke, Kami finally managed to catch the feeling of his lungs working and did his best to focus on it. It didn't help much once his brother had stopped speaking and resumed his light way of breathing, but now that Kami knew what he needed to feel, he concentrated on bringing it to the fore of his mind. The subtle expansion and contraction...

[Shieba]

Ailys was really surprised when Kaamil seemed to have no problem with doing this training daily. She had thought that getting touched by Kami like that would probably be enough already to scare him a bit after all his bad experiences, but he seemed rather calm and she could also feel no negative emotions connected with this. This was actually really good; a great, first step. She really wanted to tell Kaamil that, but couldn't possibly do so with the other two being there.

Hina was silent as well and just gave Kaamil a nod to show she had understood and was pleased. Kami was obviously deeply concentrated and she didn't want to break that by saying something right now since she could feel that he had ceased to use his power and was now using his senses only. This, however, also meant she had no means of telling if he was succeeding or not. She stopped touching Kaamil, seeing as the boy didn't like that in the first place and since it served no purpose anymore. Sitting back, all she could do for now was waiting until Kami stopped and could report how well it had worked for him. Hina had absolutely no idea how well he would do, but since he was a healer, she had rather high hopes.

[Kodai]

After several minutes, Kami opened his eyes and looked over at Hina, smiling. He had managed to get the feeling of his brother''s lungs and decided that it would be a good idea to notify everyone. "Iss got itss... Kaamil's lungss. Iss could finally sense themss. You were rightss; it was hardss, but... Iss did itss!" Shifting his body a little to try to loosen it up (sitting in one position for a while tended to get uncomfortable), he added, "Iss wantss to keep practicingss with the lungss for nowss. If Iss can get goodss at itss, then sensingss the other organss shouldss be easy, rightss?"

"...That makes sense, if the lungs are one of the more difficult organs..." Kaamil nodded in agreement. He was silently somewhat relieved that the touching would go no lower, at least for today. When they did start training for things such as the stomach and intestines, he hoped that perhaps he and Kami could be alone. Not having Hina and Ailys there might make him more comfortable with it... although he wasn't entirely sure. The thought of having the two females there for such training was a little awkward, but then again, their presence grounded the situation and Hina needed to make sure Kami was progressing. At any rate... "...All right, then...Are you ready to continue...?"

It was several hours later when Kami finally decided to call it a day. Not only had he made wonderful progress in being able to sense Kaamil's lungs, he was also beginning to grow hungry and was sure that the others were as well. None of them had eaten since noontime, after all, and now was the right time for supper. "Um... What'ss we going to eatss, Kaamil?" he asked his brother quietly, unsure if Ailys and Hina were going to invite them to share a meal or if they would have to go hunting again.

"...Ah...I'm not sure..." he replied, just as uncertain. "...Perhaps we should ask..."

"Yuss... Miss Hina? Miss Ailys? Whatss should Kaamil and Iss do for dinnerss?" He looked at the two questioningly, hoping he wasn't being impolite.

[Shieba]

Hina was very pleased with the progress Kami had made. "You did very well today. You got good results very quickly and you have increased your ability quite a bit. All it should take now is training. There is actually little I can add or help you with when it comes to this matter alone - it's all about increasing your sensitivity by keeping at it. You should be fine if you practice this by yourself from now on. If there's anything else you wish to learn that I can actually teach you, I'll gladly do so, but there's really nothing else to feeling into bodies." Kami was rather trained as a healer, as it seemed, anyway and Hina wasn't a professional, so she doubted that she could be of much more help, but was willing to try.

"It has indeed gotten late, hasn't it?" Ailys had watched over the training, checking on Kaamil's feelings, but he seemed quite content with the whole thing. She got up. "We can share more fruits with you two, since we collect them. But every Paragon hunts for meat himself, since they is no way to conserve it here like you humans do on the mainland. So every family hunts as much as they need, without sharing it like we share fruits. So if you want meat, you'll have to go to the forest or fish. Hina, would you mind watching the eggs? I'm rather tired of sitting and need to stretch my legs. I'll take them to the fruit stash, if they want to." She smiled at Kami. "Most Paragon should be back in their nests now. You could look at them all now if you come with me."

"Good idea. They can pick the fruits they like this way. And I doubt they can get into the forest and actually hunt something before the sun sets. It would have to be fish for this night, then." Hina sat down in the nest and curled her tail around the eggs.

"Well then, do you want to come with me? It's not far", Ailys offered to the boys.
