All Welcome 
To wander inland was to wander toward the Rise, which was where Theo and Requiem lived. The thicket that existed between the two packs couldn't be that hard to navigate- she'd gone through it once before with Chacal, Etienne and Ashlar, and had then come back, so she figured that of all places outside the pack, this was probably the safest one. Sandwiched between two friends, she saw no reason for it to be out of bounds. 

Etienne might not think so. Etienne liked her to be close, tucked under his wing- but she'd developed a taste for boldness, and found that she wasn't so frightened of wandering about in the pack on her own. Now, she found herself just beyond the marked borders of Sapphique, into the thicket where a group of little, black-capped chickadees flitted from branch to branch. 

"Chyeeeeee doo doo!" She mimicked their call. The little birds were adorable- and seemed intrigued by her. They didn't come within her reach, of course, but they circled her, and would stop on a branch for a moment and tilt their heads when she imitated their whistle-like call. "Chyeeee doo doo!" She said again, when they seemed to have fallen silent. 

One of them, almost bravely, switched to a different call. 

chick a dee dee dee dee!

Now, Suzu tilted her head to the side. The bird had a different sound! Soon, the other birds also made the same sound, and seemed to flit about a bit less. "Chick en deee dee dee," She mimicked, and to her delight, the little birds continued to talk- either amongst themselves or to her. She supposed, then, that the 'chyeeee doo doo' call was more of a 'hey, come look at this!' or a 'look, this thing might be dangerous!' and that the 'chick en dee dee' call was actually more a conversation.
