Safadel

Original Story
"Quailu! Get back here!!"
I don't know how many times I've had to tell her that she has to work to get free products!
Keukrao slowly makes his way over to his enraged mate. "Now now, she can't help her addiction. After all, your works are the most beautiful in all the world," he coos, gently nuzzling Safadel's side.

"Gah! I wish she would just listen to me!" Her shoulder starts twitching, a well known sign that she's about ready to bite someone's head off, usually Quailu's.

"Safadel--" he trailed, a clear warning to calm down. Looking back at Quailu, he notices in her possession is a small purple lei. The beige tiger skydancer not hesitating to slip it over her head and then bounce off to boast about her newest gem.

"Oh, you're right," she sighs, looking at him. Following his gaze, she notices Quailu wearing the lei. "But Keu, it was for Isazra."

Her mopey tone always gets him. "She-- ... But-- ... Well I-- Fine." Keukrao heads off towards Quailu, determined to get the lei back for his beloved. Safadel happily flutters her wings, pleased with her sway over him. With so much work to do, she quickly gets back to fiddling with flowers, jewels, and trinkets. However, it isn't long before she finds her supplies strewn all over the clearing floor, her collection of tiny red feathers drifting off on the breeze. Startled, she looks around to find Sonyita and a few other hatchlings staring up at her, eyes wide. Safadel takes a deep breath, keeping herself from barking at the hatchlings.
They were just having fun. It's okay. It is okay. she tells herself.

The hatchlings scuttled together and sat upright. "We're so sorry, Safadel!" the three chimed. They quickly began gathering her items together into neat piles.

Safadel shook her head and clucked her tongue. "That's alright, little ones. Go on, shoo. I'll clean this mess up," she smiled. When they were hesitant to be off playing again, she gently insisted. "Go, go," waving her hands at them.
