Horizon Ridge with many a flirt and flutter

I'm so sorry for the wait! D:

Shiv was very upset. It didn't occur to her tiny brain that just because she now held someone else's property within her talons didn't make it automatically hers. Theft was an act that only others could do — not her. She was simply borrowing it for a while. A long while. She would take good care of it and simply wanted it to admire. Besides, from what she had seen of the raven's trove, he had more than enough trinkets and treasures!

When the shiniest of trinkets fell from her grip, they both turned to watch as it tumbled, both of their brains seemingly taking a moment to fully comprehend the situation. The raven seemed to come to a conclusion first, triumphantly shouting his victory before it quickly clicked. Shiv realised the direness of the situation at the same time as he, giving a strangled squawk of surprise. Now look what you've done, you silly crow!

A flurry of dark feathers then entered her vision of the expanse of forest below as her assailant (or victim, depending on which way you looked at it), frantically plunged after the pebble, buffeting her in the face with his plumage. The magpie was left slightly disoriented, though she quickly recovered, staring down at the speck that disappeared among the canopy. With a cry, she dived after the raven, following after him.
