Qeya River a scurry of squirrels

sparrow reeled alongside his sister with mouth open and eyes glued to the den roof. he gave her a nudge before lowering his gaze to hers as if to say; you go first. he wanted to make sure that whatever was out there would not kill him, and sacrificing his sister as a test subject seemed appropriate. 

when bryony did not immediately move he nudged her again, this time voicing his desire. "bry go!" he demanded, a paw lifted as he shoved it in her face before pointing outwards to the noise's source.
