It is already too late to swim when the water reaches your lips.

A little nod and smile was what she had returned back to her new friend, her modesty not allowing her to bade welcome to something so emotionally potent. She did not want him to feel uncomfortable- emotions tended to do that. “He is a Shrike; they are known to skewer their meals on sharp brambles or thorned limbs. However,” she dipped her head in sympathy to Jilpa’s representation. “Because of such tactics, they are labeled as gore and monsters within the animal world. But it is I who has seen his persona; Jilpa is no monster. He does not kill more than he needs, and should he, he will return to said branch and eat until his meal is gone and his belly is full once again.” Picking up her head, she took a deep breath. She felt herself becoming too passionate over this! She needed control! Darkly tipped ears flipped back, her wounded expression softening the hard pressed earnesty she wore prior. “Forgive my outburst, Posie- I do not mean to cross your own feeling of the matter with my own.”

Not all birds have been taught to fly. Some simply fall until they either learn, or perish.
