Motherhood - Sess'houn

"Ii'tia slowly raised her head, starting to rise up on all fours as her daughter, Too'rii, gave a troubled whine. Her tail curled up into the air, brilliant feathers flashing a warning signal to whatever predator might have come too close, while her talons flexed. Nothing, as far as she could help it, was going to hurt her child..."

Ii'tia has glasses because she's one of the fully sentient Sess'houn, who were raised in an offworld experiment by the Shithsin and Humans, proving that the Sess'houn are, in fact, fully sentient, despite their animalistic nature. Too'rii is her third child, her first (Bii'kii, a melanistic male) is now fully grown, her second (Kii'iia) lives with her father's pack, and Too'rii lives with Ii'tia on the StarShip 'Horizon Point' while growing.
