Alright. Anila started to slowly take a few steps. The joints in her wings were painfully sore. She tried to stretch them and winced. The exercises she had done didn’t seem as though they had made her that hurt when she had first lay down; however, after sitting she had started to stiffen up. Ah excuse me miss could you come and rub on my joints, I can’t quite reach them to rub them effectively. Anila lay down and tried to stretch out somewhat to expose her fragile wing joints.

Faiza stood there. She stared at the Phim as though she'd sprouted another head or began speaking in an odd tongue. "Are you sure," she asked. She'd never touched Phim wings. To do so enticed biting, so Faiza had learned to avoid other's wings like the plague. That another Phim was actually asking her to touch the joints of her wings was akin to someone telling her the sun set in the east.

Anila looked at the other Phim confused. Have I overstepped some boundary? I hope not. I didn’t mean to be so rude. Is there a problem asking her to help me? Yes I am quite certain. Did I do something wrong? You look as though I asked something I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry if I overstepped my privileges since I hardly know you miss? Anila’s eyes widened. Ah I’m sorry I don’t even know your name. The shock on Anila’s face was palpable. She felt guilty asking a favor of someone she didn’t even know.

"Faiza," she responded to the female's inquiry. Faiza looked down, shifting a little uncomfortably. "I, ah, I've never touched someone else's wings before," she said, not really wanting to elaborte much further.

Faiza. What an interesting name. Oh. Really I wonder why not? You said you knew some healing before so why have you never handled wings before? Anila looked at Faiza with a questioning look that held no malice or judgment. She simply lay there waiting for Faiza's assistance.

"I never caught your name," Faiza said, almost as if she hadn't heard the vixen's question. Quite slowly she approached, then stared at the wing joints for a moment. Rather than mess with the joints themselves, which were probably bone and nothing she could mess with, Faiza lifted a paw and slowly worked at the muscles on the female's back around the wings.
"I learned it out of necessity, not interest," Faiza finally said, voice so quite and faint the vixen might not have even been able to catch the words.

(Anila introduced herself on page one 4th post up from the bottom)
Anila made a small mewling sound as Faiza touched her sore muscles.Perhaps she didn't hear me before? My name is Anila. What forced you yo have to learn to heal? Anila's ears twitched as she asked wondering if she wasn't supposed to hear what Faiza had said.

Faiza flinched a little at the sound Anila made. Even though her paws remained steady and did not falter it was clear she was uncomfortable. Even though Anila had been nothing but sweet and kind, Faiza still couldn't control the fight or flight instincts that had been pounded into her throughout her childhood.
"You have a lovely child. It is a boy or a girl," Fazia asked, in hopes of distracting Anila so she wouldn't have to answer the question; she wasn't in the mood to share her past. And this close to the Phim she caught a glimpse of the BCR through Anila's fur, and could even smell it a little.

Anila instinctively curled the paw with the BCR closer to her as she tensed. It was simply a reaction any mother would have. After a moment she tried to relax again so she wouldn’t appear rude to the fox that was so graciously helping her. My child is a girl her sister is with her father right now. Anila held her paw out and turned it so Faiza could better see the BCR.
Anila began to think as she looked down at her precious child. Faiza’s reluctance to share her past probably means it was more horrible then my own. Does she hate being without wings? Perhaps one of her parents was a normal fox and the other was Phim. Does she blame her parents? If she does could my own child hate me if she lacks wings but wants to soar? I don’t think I could stand that. Anila’s eyes began to mist over and she slowly pulled her wings back into herself and away from Faiza still looking at the BCR as the first tear slid down her cheek.

Faiza's ministrations to Anila's back paused for a moment. "Are you alright," she asked. She hoped it wasn't something she'd said. Tears and grief weren't exactly Faiza's strong suits. Slowly she began working at the base of the other wing.

Anila wiped off her tears with her free paw. Right now I’m not sure. Then she gently started rubbing the BCR still disturbed by her thoughts. Miss Faiza. I know I don’t know you very well but would it be ok if I asked you a very personal question?

Faiza was silent for a long moment, the only sound between the two the gentle brush of wind in the grass and the scrapping sound of her paw running over Anila's fur to press at certainly muscles.
"You may ask," she finally said, "but I cannot guarantee an answer."

Y-your parents. Do you hate them? One of them obviously was a Phim. Do you hate them for not giving you wings? Anila cradled the BCR tenderly hoping her daughters wouldn’t hate her. I couldn’t bear it if my children hated me. She didn't even look up at Faiza to see how the other would react to such a question.

Though warm air from the desert blew into the plains, Faiza suddenly felt cold. She'd finished working the muscles on Anila's back, so withdrew her paw. This wasn't completely about her past, that alone wouldn't have made her felt like there was now a shard of ice where her heart used to be.
"No. My smooth back is not the reason I hate them." Fazia stepped back a few paces, avoiding looking at Anila.

Anila felt much better from Faiza’s administrations. S-so then perhaps my own little ones won’t hate me if they are born like their father and have no wings. Anila’s voice was calm and soft as she began to nuzzle her BCR. She finally managed to pull her attention from her child realizing that Faiza was distant and seemed withdrawn. Anila stood up and looked her. The red Phim looked pained in some way. Anila couldn’t help herself she walked up to Faiza and wrapped her up with her soft blue wings. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to cause you pain; after all you’ve done nothing but help me. It’s just.. my own child. I have a feeling that both of them will be like their father and will never be able to fly and if they want to soar I’m afraid they’ll hate me. There was a quite whimper in Anila’s voice as she voiced her fears.
