She tilted her head in thought, unsure of whether or not owls lined their nests either. She could not say. While she was apt to watch birds, namely when they hunted, their nesting habits were not well understood by her because it was hard to get a good view of them oftentimes. However, her bird-watching habits were not that exhaustive, and more of a casual interest of hers that she picked up when times were right.
Then, Ferdie proposed a race. She pricked her ears and got to her feet, looking to the owl as he took off before anyone could even answer -- or really even think about one. She whuffed his way instead of wasting time on words because frankly, there was no time for it at this point; he had already left them in the dust and was long gone.
Without a second thought and only one last glance towards the owl, she lunged forward and broke into a run -- she was not one to pass on a challenge, after all. Ferdie had already put some space between them, but she pursued with determination and tried to match his pathways as sharply as she could. His route was direct and to the point she soon realized, so this was the wisest course. So it seemed..
He was fast, and despite her pinned ears and lengthened stride, she was not gaining noticeable ground on him just yet. Now more than ever she was envious of Aryn's ability to cover ground with just a few flaps of her wings.
She was focused. Together they ran (assuming the owl joined them, Amekaze did not have time to spare a look her way) across the Sunspire's terrain and the dark female felt joy light in her heart. She didn't care where they went, nor for how long. Simple moments like these would always be near and dear to her.
