The Heartwood konaiseiko

Oh heck, I didn't think of that, haha. Maybe basic sentences, since magpies/crows/ravens are meant to be a little smarter than average :D

With the berry firmly stuck on her beak, clamping it shut, silence once again fell upon the forest. The only sounds now were from the disgruntled ravens above, softly cawing as they regathered on the tree they had settled in moments before. The magpie hopped around, shaking her head as she tried to rid herself of the bothersome fruit. It hadn't occurred to her that it would be near solid. Even partially frozen, it was still rather tough to split and free her beak from.

Spinning in a quick circle, Shiv tried to find a rock to scrape the berry away so she could get back to her mindless twittering. She was already beginning to miss the sound of her own voice. Instead, though, her eyes landed on the form of a pale-furred wolf. With a half-startled, half-excited flutter, the bird bounced towards the stranger, stopping before her dainty paws. Her interactions so far with wolves had been limited, though Shiv could tell this wolf was smaller than normal. A juvenile, perhaps? She registered the other's words, though didn't give any indication of understanding, instead tapping the shish kebab-ed berry against her leg and peering up with pleading eyes. "Nnnrrghf," she responded pitifully.
