"Mommy, you 'sposed to CHASE MEEEE!" Nymph yelled, breaking Color's train of thought.

"Not right now, I'm tired. Let mommy rest, m'kay?"

"FIIIIINEEEE!"

"And that means quietly playing in the corner."

Nymph dragged herself into the hut, looking like she was bored out of her mind.

After four hours of rest, Color rose to Nymph twirling around the dusty room, her shimmering cobalt and royal purple scales casting rainbows across the leafy walls.
"Nymph? What are you doing?" Color asked groggily, rubbing sleep out of her eyes.
"Mommy! You're awake!" Nymph quickly stopped spinning and stumbled dizzily back to her mother. "I'm waiting for you to get up."
Color groaned and rolled back over. "Five more minutes..."
Nymph jumped into the hammock with her. "Get up, Mommy! Let's GOOO!"
