Shiv stared unblinkingly at the female as she began, a wary lilt to her voice. Oh no, she was already suspicious! Had she been too obvious in her approach? Perhaps she had to rethink this. Maybe find another wolf. A hungrier wolf. Yet who knew how long it would take to find another one. These were pack lands but it was a large territory, it could be days before she found a wolf who would be willing — or foolish — enough to lead her to the cache.

Mind whirring, the bird flitted from the hanging twig to a more solid branch, lower this time so she could keep a closer eye on the strange grey wolf. "Wolf said she was hungry, yes?" she started in an attempt to distract the female, tilting her head before gesturing towards the trees where she supposed the heart of the pack lands lay. Was that where packs kept their stores of meat? "Come, come, Shiv can help wolf hunt. Wolf can then save rest for pack, yes?" As if her plan wasn't obvious before.
