Citlali Kimaris-Etalpalli

The evening light created a luminous glow around his striking Aunt, her tan fur collecting beads of radiance and shimmering defiantly. Her slim shadow was deepening in darkness with the setting of the sun. He remained inside her shade until she spoke, soft Hispanic words rising barely above the sound of the birds. It took a respectful moment for him to decipher the language he wasn’t used to speaking. A hand of Tlantli patted the soft, grassed ground in a confirmation of her words. Gold bangles chimed as they swayed against each other.

Citlali pulled himself close to his Aunt immediately, seeking her familiar yet distant warmth. She was the only one he knew well in the Family, and the continuous feeling of being out of place had become an unwanted friend. The grass felt unusual compared to the cold stone he was used to in the tower. Sable claws sunk into the earth the lower the sun began to fall. His front was now bathed in the same golden light that had surrounded the other Kimaris moments ago. No sound came from either of them, and the boy supposed the woman would express her thoughts before him.
