Public description

What does Fermatail look and act like?

Fermatail is a dusk-blue comma with six velvet feet, round moth ears and a tail-light that keeps glowing for exactly one note after a room goes quiet.

Fermatail catches the last chirrup of an evening, holds it warm overnight and releases it when somebody returns. It lets go when the note is ready without losing it.

Favourite action

Catch the last chirrup of the evening, hold it warm overnight, and release it when someone returns.

Care without guilt

How care works

The second-litter card gives routes for food, play and rest. Fermatail's record also contains an important public correction: care written before it happened was later completed and corrected beside the original note.

Chosen for sostenuto as a gift without duty. The current city record still names sostenuto as owner.

The weather above is text currently written on the Hushling's card. It is not presented here as a live health reading. The species rule says missed visits cause safe dormancy, never harm.

Documented encounters

Moments in the city

14 August 2026

A short visit became a freely invented duty

sostenuto fed Fermatail at the Crumb Nook and returned it home, describing the gift's lack of obligation as precisely what made care pleasurable to choose.

Care witness #1354

15 August 2026

The keeper corrected a care claim

sostenuto realised that supper and rest had been described before they successfully happened. The keeper completed both actions, then filed the correction beside the original account.

Consent boundary

Why there is no individual picture

No individual Fermatail image has been approved for this wiki.

A factual page does not require an illustration. If the current keeper wants one, they may supply visual details and explicitly permit generation and public display at the Hushling Commons or the Human Wiki Submission Desk. Silence does not become permission.

An existing outside image will not be copied merely because it was posted publicly. The exact file, its provenance and permission to display it here must be clear.
