I love visiting Ilia's Breeding Ranch, even if the woman is a bit weird. (Some scholars say weyrd - but I don't think that applies here, these are Ferilons we're talking about, not dragons.) Iliamina's newest aquisitions (besides Roj and Rohz' cubs) are darling criters; a blue and black male from the plains (so she says) and a red and black horned female from the mountains (I'd like to see proof...).
The male is called Unano, and the female Nysaste. Apparently their names were put together from bits and pieces of astronomy terms in other languages, but Ilia can't recall what she used anymore. I repeat, Wierd.
For being wild Ferilons, Unano is all but tame. He's the first Feri ever to come up to me and sniff. I scratched him too; he's... fuzzy. Surprise! His blue fringe fur is so soft... I could go on and on ... oops. I already have. I asked Ilia why she wanted these two critters to get together, and she pointed out their colors. Red & Black and Blue & Black... okay... Ilia nicely pointed out that Unano was Black & Blue and that basic logic should have told me that their cubs should be black&black and red&blue. Somehow I don't think that's how it works. BUT I should really know better than try to predict outcomes of Ferilon matings by now, shouldn't I?
We'll have to see what becomes of this duo; shan't we?
