Her eyes went wide as she realised the colourful brute was about to attempt a jump. She backed up a few steps, forcing herself to move away from the pillar her bird had gone down on. She watched with trepidation as he prepared himself, and launched Shayes nerves felt a little frayed as she watched him land and slide across the surface. His jump would be for naught if he fell off the other side.
Instead, the man managed to brace himself and come to a stop. He then sniffed around Feather, and Shaye tensed, bracing herself for bad news. Feather had been with her for a very long time, and was a reminder of other days, and had been a friend thought hardships. One of the very few she had left.
The red male picked up her companion, and then draped himself over the other side. Seeing his intent, Shaye moved forward, bracing herself on the rocks to reach up and was able to grab the bird from him with little jostling, as he released the creature to her.
She landed as gently as she could back on all fours and dropped the bird to the ground. She then got to business, sniffing her wounds. There where a few small, red lines where the bird had held her in her talons, but her stillness was more because she was dazed. She gently nudged back an eyelid and assessed the bird.
“She’s dazed, but looks like her injuries are very minor.” Shaye would explain with a deep sigh of relief. She gave the bird a gentle lick before turning her attention back to Iggy. “Do you.. Need a hand down?” she wondered "I'm Shaye by the way, and I thank you profusely for your well timed rescue."
