Disappointed with her admittedly rather short search, the bird stared at the ground for a moment, wondering if she should try elsewhere within the territory. Or try searching further into the surrounding forest. Or maybe she could find a pack member and figure out how to get them to tell her where the cache was hidden. Lost in her pondering, the bird failed to notice both the scent and the sight of such a pack member readying herself to attack.

It was only the sound of paws pounding against dirt did Shiv turn her head and let out a shrill cry of surprise. "No eat!" she yelled in defence, taking to the air as quick as she could. With a sharp turn, she then swooped down on the grey-furred attacker, in an attempt to intimidate her, before gliding over to a nearby branch where she could peer down at the intruder safely. Heart thrumming in her chest, Shiv glared at the wolf, angrily chirping away in annoyance. "Stupid, sneaky wolves," she muttered to herself.
