And her ears are pink because of her skin color, her fur color, and the blood running through. Blue/twilight shading from being in the shade, mixed with being underlit with pink, is purple.
I’m so glad he’s feeling better!

Oh - and, looking slightly away from them, yawn widely with your eyes closed, then lick your lips a few times.
