Haha, she has a good point though, you shouldn't befriend a possible meal >_>

The wolf's reply caused a jolt of fear to shock Shiv's tiny bird body, her feathers suddenly rising as she instinctively tried to make herself look bigger (even though her threat was way down below her and much, much larger that she could ever be). She gave a shrill cry before leaning forward and glowering at the nasty wolf. How utterly rude! "Horrible wolf!" she proclaimed. "Shiv will peck out wolf's eyes!"

Yet the magpie made no move to actually act on her threat, too afraid as she was of the silver-furred woman. She wasn't risking going anywhere near her again — even if it was just to swoop her — she had proven much too feral for Shiv's liking. Tiny flakes of bark fell off the branch she was perched upon as she anxiously scratched at it, eyes trained on the wolf. Perhaps she should find another, friendlier stranger that would be kind enough to share their cache with her. This plateau seemed to be too much of challenge for what it was worth. At least, it this female was anything like the other wolves' in this territory.
