(The nursery)

-

The Starter:

You've lived in this nursery your entire life, and the others are your family. When you all lived together in one nursery, news traveled fast amongst you and secrets usually didn't stay secrets very long. This was the third brood, Reaspa's brood, and the news was finally out just as lunch was ending.

"We're gonna get another redeyes, and he isn't from here," Eelvi was the one who always seemed to hear these things first. Reaspa called him nosy, while he said that a good diplomat knew all the facts and that eavesdropping and information collecting were two different things. 

"Not from here?" Coyogho titled his head curiously and with a dumb founded look, he was friendly and very kind, but according to their childminder about as intelligent as a pile of rocks. "Where else would he be from?"

"I heard he's from the enemies," Eelvi continued, causing the other redeyes around him to gasp.

Reaspa glanced up from her seat at the end of the dining table, her orange eyes were pretty fierce and more often then not pretty scary. Everyone always said her being a childminder was some sort of anomaly, given she was grouchy and made no effort to be anything but tough with the redeyes under her care. Tough, but she was still protective of them. 

"Quiet, all of you and eat your food," she grouched, the redeyes all fell quiet, but they couldn't help but whisper among themselves. A newcomer, from the enemies? That was weirder then the time Coyogho tried to convince the entire brood that eating clay was good for the digestive system.
