2024-07-17 - More than what you think you are

Ertineth was not keeping it in.

Even from the covered tent, Challeanoth could feel the brown's frustrations, their want to be down with them. To be gold. They couldn't offer that, but a chance to watch the clutch, they saw no reason why he shouldn't. Come, they wanted to whisper. Tell us about the sky. You are welcome here.

They don't, they don't think the brown is ready to hear that. There is something holding him back, probably from his past. There is something about where he came from that still has a hold of him, and until he can hatch from that shell, he'll be stuck where he is.

It's a little sad.

Being brown is more than that, they do say, their words quiet, reaching out without intruding the browns thoughts, offering a reassurance in the wind. You are one of the in-between, the ones who can change, you just have to get out of your own way.

I believe in you.
