Blackbeak Bluff as you climb up hillside, forest and fen

@Elijah Cross
70F, rain, early evening

caw feels very wet.

he does not feel good about feeling so wet. there are things to do, yes! but he also feels like he would rather be hiding under the cliffs with the ravens. still! it is essential he finds the plants he needs. and they cannot all grow in one place. and he does like wandering! there are many things to discover here. again, he just feels very wet. and it is hard to smell what he needs in the rain.

it is also very salty. caw knows the sea, a little! he has just never spent much time by it. forests are much nicer, with much prettier birds that do not snatch his food right out of his mouth. and they are darker, and quieter, and they still have fish, and they do not have sheer cliffs that make him remember vrána is the only one who gets to fly.

he also has no cover here. this does not help things. there are nice green fields with nothing at all in them to hide behind, which is good for finding things at least! but vrána cannot see as well in the rain. and he cannot see anything over the cliff. he has already leaned over once and made vrána very upset, so much that his nose still hurts from where she pecked him. he has learned his lesson, though! he is not supposed to jump off cliffs. he has not done this since he was very small. and the cliff was nowhere as large as this!

in retaliation, he has asked vrána to go under the cliffs to look, since he cannot get down there any other way. she is gone now; he cannot see her through the rain but he keeps a polite distance from the edge nonetheless, so when she comes back she does not peck him again. but there is not much to be seen other than grass.

he stops curiously to nibble some of it. it is just (very salty) grass. then he turns his attention to snapping at the raindrops instead. they are also very salty. in the end he just trudges along in grumpy silence, waiting for vrána to show herself. she is probably doing this just to scold him.
