Chapters of Our Lives [Sparrow]

Sparrow was enjoying being able to stretch her legs. Soon enough she would have to start looking for followers for her pirate band, she had decided. And they would need a place to hunker down. Her dad really liked this orchard, and Sparrow was always trying to figure out why. Due to the volcano, she hadn't gotten to see it in its full bloomed or in production, nor could she yet understand the production and enjoyment of alcohols which spurred from this orchard.

Something interesting DID happen, however. Sparrow heard a hiss from over a little ways. Hissing meant cats, and Sparrow was basically part cat given her claws and she was pretty sure she could hiss if she really tried. If a cat was hissing, that meant it was upset... or in danger. Either way, Sparrow HAD to investigate that. She rushed over and was stopped in her tracks by the sight of the bear. Bears didn't hiss. It was leaning up against the tree. Sparrow followed the trunk up to reveal- yup, she guessed it- a cat. Sparrow looked around and decided her best way to talk to the cat without getting mauled would be to ALSO climb a tree. She found a nearby one and tested it, then worked on hauling her heavy ass up the tree. The older she got the more it became difficult and even painful to really climb. Once she finally got up to a thick enough branch, she walked out and shout-whispered to the cat, "Pssst! You in trouble?"
