Blackfeather Woods home, home again

Blue!! The sound of Maegi's joy emanated through the wood; Titmouse heard it and reacted, perhaps reacting more to the sudden break in the quiet than to the tone of her voice, but he moved to intercept her. He'd spent the pre-dawn hours trying to warm up his limbs in preparation for all their hard work, and by the time he reached his beloved he was realizing he hadn't stretched enough. His limp was more prominent. He made it to her position slowly, and sat almost immediately.

She was still talking to something - someone? - and Titmouse leaned around her to get a good look. When he saw the small bird, his own face broke in to a smile. Boo! The boy exclaimed, not as a means to startle either of them but he couldn't quite slur the bird's actual name. Heddo 'gain.
