Hannah looked confused. “I have to do the rest of them, Mama. That's just one. I
have tips on all three sections of my wings,” she said uncertainly and Nu-reeh
gave me a hard look.
“Oh, I'm sorry, Hannah. I hadn't realized you didn't finish. Go on,” I encouraged
with false brightness.
“Be cautious about using them so soon after the treatment, young one,” another
woman called down.
The other women murmured agreement, they should be left to set and harden.
“I couldn't wait to try mine,” Dinah said, “almost broke one on the first day.”

There were no more yelps of pain, but the smell of burning flesh continued to
waft from the pit.
“It is traditional,” Tosu said, “that you paint the newly hardened tips. They are
always painted after the first hardening. Some women continue to paint them, but
most do not.”
“You are going to let that paint one of us?” another woman ranted angrily pointing
at me.
“Itis disgraceful.”
“This is the female breeder,” Tosu said sounding bored.
“Would you rather we bring the male breeder up here to do it?"
The women grumbled and cursed, but no, they didn’t want the men here. This
was a female only thing and they enjoyed the privacy of that.
Dinah handed me a small pot of shiny blue Liquid. Well, at least Damien would
be pleased she had the right color on.
“The color is in honor of the male breeder,” Tosu explained, “Nu-reeh made it in
Damien's family color.” “Thank you, Mistress, that was kind,” I said.
This was all so strange and unexpected. It felt like I had come to Christmas
dinner in the middle of July and showed up without a gift. I was absolutely
unprepared.
Hannah barreled out of the pit intent on showing me what she had done. I looked
over the tips and touched them, telling her how good they looked. She was very
animated and wanted to tell me all about it.
The entire situation pleased her until she saw the color I planned to put on her
newly hardened wing tips.
“No, I don't Like that color,” she said stubbornly eyeing the pot.
“That's the way it's done, Hannah,” I tried to explain.
“Mistress Tosu said you wear your male breeder's color.”
