Sure thing! Thanks for the thread :D

Shiv kept her gaze trained on the girl, head cocking to the left then right as she listened, selectively only taking in the last two things she said. Of course she would be able to fly like the other magpies in time! It was clear wolves weren't exactly built like birds but it shouldn't be able to stop them — especially with a teacher such as Shiv! At her request for another lesson, the magpie gave a happy squawk, delighted that her services would be needed again. She also had come to quite like this wolf, despite her less than stellar flying abilities.

As she shook herself off, small flakes of snow landed on Shiv's own feathers and she instinctively ruffled them as well. Flocks of wolves were called packs? But the girl had no pack of her own yet? How had she survived winter on her own for so long! The bird gave a sad sounding warble, concerned for her new friend. Hopefully her new skill would help her earn a place within one of these packs. Suddenly, she gave her name and Shiv jumped up, forgetting she hadn't even announced her own name yet! "Shiv! Yes, yes," she replied, bowing to Prima as if she were royalty.
