Bark and Bite (challenge: Food)

Bark tasted good to her Hork-Bajir brain, but to Aldrea's old Andalite mentality, it seemed odd. How strange, to slice the bark off the tree, eat some, and then feed some to her child. An Andalite would be slowly trotting along with Seerow, pointing out the freshest grass, making sure his diet was nutritious.

But she was Hork-Bajir now. Seerow had been born a Hork-Bajir. In a perverse way, she was proud that her child was everything an Andalite was not. Hork-Bajir didn't release Quantum viruses.

So she stripped away the newest, ripest bark, and handed it to her son.
