[private] a melody to open their eyes

[Tamlin]

Today Tamlin had woken up and decided he was going to move as little as possible. It just felt like one of those days, you know? It was hard to keep track of time but he was pretty sure that he spent a few hours just lying there, watching one of the glowing birds do lazy circles and counting every time it flew by. He got to ten before he forgot which number he was at and then another five after that before giving up entirely. He accidentally sent some of his agitations to the wolf pack and then promptly suggested that they go hunt somewhere else when they started pacing around and a few of them gnawed on his bone legs. It didn’t hurt but it was super weird. So off they went and Tamlin lied back down onto the soft Tephra soil for a few moments before getting up with a groan that was more appropriate for someone five times his age. What can he say, his bones were aching! Almost a whole year spent as a skeleton with the prettiest opal hooves you could imagine.  The shadows shift as some of the glowing birds move about and Tamlin settles his wings against his side and they rattle against his ribs in probably the most uncomfortable noise in the entire world. Well there was nothing for it, once he got enough energy to put one bony leg in front of the other he was going to have to find one of his siblings to entertain him. t a m l i n
