He grinned at her words, seeing that much of her fears had dissipated. She had smacked him gently with her tail at his words. He hadn’t meant it as an insult. He was taller than most everyone, and that was just a part of his life. He was taller than adults 5 times his age, and he had learned his goofiness in part to save them from feeling threatened by the giant child.

Mortis took the branches down, and waited beneath them. Soft feathers spread to give Hanako a soft landing should she stumble. He believed in her, and knew she would be fine. But it paid to be cautious regardless.

He kept a careful eye on her as she moved, taking her time. He applauded her for her caution. He didn’t want her to get hurt. Once she was safely on firm land, he grinned, and bounded over to her. She turned to him, and burrowed under a still raised wing. He laughed softly. She had taken well to finding comfort beneath their awning.

He folded the wing around her a little, protective and comforting in the gesture. “Those poor fish won’t know what hit them” he promised, leading the way back to the ocean.
