This means that they are susceptible to sunburns. Kiriei's wings have only been exposed for an hour or two which meant they shouldn't yet be burnt, but they would be before too much longer.  Jerrar thought this over, by the time the would arrive at the next island, Kiriei's wings would surely be sunburned. This would delay their trip, and with two dragons that cannot fly, who knows what dangers may lurk on any ocean island. But if they could make it to the water elder, Kiriei's and Jerrar's wings might receive healing from the water elder, though she would go through a lot of pain to get there. The first decision Jerrar had to make was whether or not to tell Kiriei about the sunburns. He did not want to worry  her more, but it was a rather important detail.
