If Finley had decided to poke fun at Magpie's description, the yearling might have laughed alongside her— while the Corvidae were known for their mastery of storytelling, the youth had never thought of anyone real in such terms. Not until Summer, anyway. Even the thought of him set her heart aflutter, like the weak and teary damsels that always seemed to fall in love with the first man they met.
Shit.
Before a horrified look could spread across the yearling's face— could she really be that stupid?— Finley encouraged her to share more. "Black," she answered quickly, eager to shove her previous line of thought somewhere deep and dark. After a beat, she continued, "I'm pretty tired, actually. Good night." As abruptly as she had begun to warm to her companion, Magpie was cold again; and she returned her head to her paws, shoulder to Finley.
Thoughts now stormy for a multitude of reasons, the yearling sought solace in sleep.
