‘No don’t!’ she exclaimed. ‘I’m sorry, it makes me feel sick, I don’t want to hear them talking. They’re just too gross and nasty. It scares me to hear them planning such awful things.’ Saffron felt like she was babbling hysterically, but Mobo was sympathetic and soothing.
‘O.K. - O.K. No nasty voices - It is past - We have control - fear not, my friend. I wished only to show to you that these people fight among themselves. They are mistrustful - their power is diminished.’
‘I didn’t realise that they’d want to hurt us so much,’ she said in a shaking voice.
‘Do not fear, my friend - forget your problems and celebrate positive energy - Telara and Mobo are joyful! Our precious eggs, the hope of our world, all have now hatched - sound and well - as beautiful as the dawn.’
Saffron dragged herself out of her state of misery. ‘Why, that’s great! Congratulations. You must be thrilled. How cute is that? I wish I could see them.’
‘Not yet - Not yet, my friend. Our nest is high in a hollow of the old, dead gum-tree. Chicks must feed - grow strong - it will be long till they are fledged. I must return to nest soon. Must stay on the move - many mouths to feed.’
‘I can imagine that! I’m sorry, I didn’t bring any Kitten Snacks with me today. I think I must have been far more upset than I realised. I feel a lot better now that I’ve talked to you about it. I’m so pleased about your chicks - I’d better let you get back to them.’
