Twisted Slough An isle of flightless birds

She agreed to the plan and began stalking off in search of a hiding place, leaving Tywyll to figure out the rest; it was the first time he'd ever directed an adult and had them obey his instruction, and it left him gap-mawed for a moment. When he finally got to moving, he had a bit more pep to his step and a giddiness to his romping — but he headed towards the birds, which waddled out of his way hastily. He was slinking and showed no obvious signs of interest in them, so they became complacent while he waded through. When Tywyll suddenly sprang back and snapped at a few snow geese, the birds were so startled that they didn't do anything at first - but then he was racing about, snapping and herding them, and they rose in a cacophonous wave to escape.
