Wuyi blinked, staring up at Number Nine for a long moment. The child had no idea how to respond to something as heavy as that—the idea of not having xyr momma never crossed the child’s mind. He always assumed Playerone would be there for xem and his brother. And Bai Shi, too, as the dragon had become a sort of grandparental figure to the young cub. Xyr brow furrowed, and xe glanced to Bai Shi as the dragon talked with PalmClan’s leader; hxee hated how they talked about defending the border to their last.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring it up,” Wuyi said. Xe dipped xyr head in an apology, xyr long tail coiling around xyr legs.
However, xe brightened up when Number Nine did, and his grey eyes lit up when he saw the jaguar’s fully extended wings. “Wow! I hope mine look like that when I’m older!” Xe puffed up xyr chest and unfurled the wings. Xe hadn’t grown in all xyr flight feathers yet, and they were still fuzzy, but xe liked to imagine xe had Number Nine’s. “I hope so! I can flutter a little! But not that well!”
Wuyi grinned and fluttered xyr wings, grey eyes narrowed against the dirt his wings kicked up into xyr eyes. Xyr paws rose off the ground by a few inches, but he fell back to the ground after a moment. Even so, the child beamed up at Number Nine. “Did you see that?! Sometimes I can go all the way up to Bai Shi’s shoulders! But I guess I’m tired… lots of traveling today!”
Then, Wuyi frowned at Bai Shi and Rhinestonestar, his wings folding into place on xyr back. “I’d like to see you guys at the bonfire! And my apple bobbing thingy with the chocolate and the apples and the sna—the water troughs!” Oops, the kid almost spilled xyr own secret. But xe saved xemself just in time.
