The Tenders

They keep you safe by tending everyone else first.

Soft wet-folds, rounded and organic, reaching and offering postures, many gentle hands, mirror-surfaces, edges that blur into the background. Blush, rose, warm honey, mother-of-pearl. The garden, the hearth, the shallows where forms merge.

When this tribe settles

The creature keeps its warmth but regains its own outline. It stops dissolving into others.
