Firestone Hot Springs summer

The magpie hopped backwards, puffing her feathers out in a pathetic attempt to make herself look bigger. He managed to suppress the laughter that threatened to spill, collecting himself and making sure he was calm before he spoke again. "Shiv," the bird introduced herself, turning around and hopping onto another rock. "No need wolf's name," she added a moment later, "Rude man." It was only by luck that he managed to keep his laughter in check.

"Hey, Shiv. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to actually eat you and stuff, was just teasing. And I didn't mean to laugh too. That was very rude of me." Theseus paused, wondering how the hell was he apologizing to a fucking bird. "I'm Theseus, looks like we got off the wrong paw. Wanna start over again?"

Dude, you just didn't meet such a bird everyday.
