Pauveer was among the younglings, a well-cleaned bloody patch on one wing. He ducked his head when Stregalaar hovered and then dropped to the damp tree trunk near him, speaking to the youngsters: “Stregalaar Tree Master was first to lose his tree to the world, but it was not from lack of watching nor lack of courage. His Laar was the first guardian against the sea, and those of the sea respect him.”

Klenveer whuffed and turned his back on this, but he said nothing to dismiss Pauveer’s story.

Stregalaar clicked his beak, and let Trunveer know his intentions.

“Chenachyen says you return to the grove on morning light. I will help guard until the young are airborne.”

Trunveer walked down the trunk of the dead tree.

“Not to the grove again? You might find a tree to groom for your offspring’s nest, you know.”

He whistled a negative, and again.

“Pauveer, who has no tree, will not fight you for Chenachyen, who has no tree.” Trunveer continued.

Stregalaar flapped his wings, resettled.

“The grove guarded me until I grew. I will guard these so you may return them to the grove.”

Trunveer flapped once, turned away.

“It happens.”
