That's a little odd to her but she supposes if it's easy enough to do then people might want to. Some crafters might be annoyed at the omission if they present the list of the other subspecies as a complete one.

There aren't very many reds, and they're less relevant in most situations than blues who have a similarly tiny population, but that's reasonable and future lists should have reds included even if it's uncomfortable for whoever's explaining.

Hopefully it won't take too long for it to get to be common knowledge so they don't have to. Anyway, she'll explain to her crows and ask them to pass it around; it'd be a good idea to have indigo talk to some of the crows in the househive about it, too.

Yeah, they can't make themselves understood in much detail to crows yet, though they try.

It's neat that they can manage it at all - she kind of wants to talk to some of the crows they've been communicating with, hear what that's been like for them; she might see if she can get any to visit sometime when she's less busy.

Sun could bring her baby and see if the baby's crow will come?

Seems worth a try. She'd like to meet a baby newcomer anyway.

Sure! Her baby says a few words but can't walk very well yet so there won't be any concern about a loose baby wandering up to a crafter.

Aw, babies are so cute at that age, too. She has more spare crafting-material now, she can bring some out and set up a playpen and some toys maybe?

That sounds great!

The next day, in the evening, the crow from before makes his way back to the roof of the reds' building, this time with two larger crows following.

Some reds are having a picnic up there, and one is turning their compost bin, and there are some four year olds making out.

Hello, one of the larger crows sends to the one working with the compost.

Compost red looks up. "...hello."

The crow has an important message from the crafter threehawks, who should she tell it to?

Oh, nobody here is an important message person, probably they want the government office with the blues.

Threehawks said that it was very important to only tell it to someone with red hair, and not blue or green at all.

"...well, we have red hair, if that's the important thing..."

The crows don't understand those words, but threehawks said to give the message to any red-haired newperson if there was a problem.

The message is that crafters have walking machines and other machines, and threehawks knows that this is bad and wants to know if she can do anything to make it better.

...ah.

"I think the walking machines are not bad if they just walk."

They think he said it's not bad for machines to walk, is that right?

"Right. It would be bad for machines to do other things, but walking is not bad."

Crafter machines do other things, yes.

"It's okay if they do things Amentan machines can do already."

They don't know what newpeople machines can do. But threehawks thought something bad was going to happen.
