Tut and Cleopatra, the two
African geese were always together. They considered themselves the most regal
and elegant of all the zoofolk. Slender bodied and gray backs, their necks and
chests were white as snow. Their black beaks could have been made of buffed
leather. Tut sported a large leathery hump on the top edge of his beak between
his eyes like a crown. Cleopatra’s hump was a bit smaller. Although their
markings were similar to Sweetie’s she was much more heavy bodied.

wings flapped with every step.
