The Sentinels would you believe me if i said she bled liquid gold

deirdre saw, in the corner of her eye, a winged creature fly at a rapid clip toward her. it was not so typical of the creatures of donnelaith to maneuver toward her in such a way unless they were in need, and as she turned and looked to the approacher she withdrew sharply as its talons moved toward her cheek. it took only a moment for her to realize what it wanted, and deirdre followed the bird with her sight before placing the small branch upon the earth. do you hunger? deirdre chirruped, her tail waving behind her. she nosed the branch gently in its direction; if the animal was more in need than she, she could just as easily obtain another branch of juniper berries with little effort at all.
