#tiruts

The brunt bird is a predatory seabird, very rarely kept as pets. Fran was gifted a hatchling when he was young and has raised it since.

I miss worldbuilding them so a little doodle tonight. Messing with some ideas so here's the notes

*these are sophots are aliens, but with a lot of fantasy and dragon inspiration that I don't try to hide, not really sure what to call them so I will continue to call them aliens, loosely

Snout pad a bit more pronounced

The previous "nostrils" are also scent glands that produce a light smell for identifying other Tiruts. Though their sense of smell is not their strongest sense

Actual nostrils moved from armpits to the jawline

A moment from when they were together

And

Illya finds sorrel almost 15 years after they were together. Sorrel has very much so moved on and is more just annoyed to see Illya around.

Neither of them were in an emotionally stable enough place to have a great relationship. It hurts Sorrel more than Illya.

Illya was not emotionally intelligent and often didn't take Sorrel's emotions as seriously as they should of. They were used to ignoring their own and let it affect other people.

Sorrel was probably at the lowest point of her self image at the time and the relationship didn't do much to help, but she stuck around because of the affection/attention.
