Az gave an affirmative "ah-ha!" as the boy's claws peeked out from their sheaths, moving his paw away so that he could see his brothers. "Dad's claws are the best." He said with a smile. "He can even climb trees! So I bet that one day you can climb trees too, and then you can pick blossoms from high up to add to your bouquets and beat all the other gatherers with style." Competition was already a driving factor for the boy, and it was natural for him to think of a use for the blessing that involved beating others - even if it was winning in something as leisurely as flower-picking. "I hope I can climb trees one day too, I don't have dads paws or moms paws." He frowned down at his wide feet, flexing his muscles so that his claws dug into the dirt. Oh well, he'd tried not to be too upset by them. It could be worse, he could have no gifts at all.

Changing the subject abruptly, he looked back to the sunflower. "How you gonna get it to her?" He asked. Azure did not intend on barging in on his brother's thoughtful gift, had no desire to be included when it came to giving the flowers to mother. However the sunflower was taller then even Indy was, it'd be hard to carry back into the den without wrecking it. "Maybe I can tie it to your back with something, so you can walk in and the flower won't hit the ceiling or walls." He was already looking around for something to use as a tie.

"Speech"
"Thinking"
"You."
