The night had been long. They had been loud and raucous. They had screamed and cried. They let loose and voiced their fears, hopes and frustrations. They had spent time together as siblings who loved one another should. There had been no judgements; only polite criticism and their own different views on certain situations. There had been a lot of mead. A LOT of mead.

The last thing that Iolaire remembered before she lost Sirius was that he was humming a tune. A perfectly good tune, mind you. She was supplying vocals. And Iolaire walked along beside Sirius, singing loudly and very off tune. "And the cat ran up the tree buuuut not as quick as me. 'Cause I am a monkey through and throuuuuuuuuugh!"[/b][/color] The woman then dissolved into peals of laughter, lost her footing and rolled off into the long grass. That was the last that she saw of her dear brother. She could only wish him good fortune in his travels as she tried to decide which way was up.

Some time later, the drunken dame found her way out of the long grass and back to the beaten path. Sirius was gone, so maybe she should go home? As she stumbled and wormed her way back towards her den, a low, repetitive sound caught her attention. She followed it out of dull curiosity. "Shickenzzz." The poultry were chattering back and forth with one another, obviously disturbed by the very loud, but glorious singing that they had been witness to. Io came closer to their coop and pressed her face against one of the little openings. "Hey shickenz. Youno why people eatchu? Hey, listen'a me. Hey. Hey cluck clucks."

Blackout drunk, Iolaire didn't remember climbing into the coop with the chickens. She didn't remember lecturing them on how they needed to be stronger. She didn't remember telling them that they were such good birds though and she was sorry that they tasted so delicious. Nor did she remember falling asleep in the middle of them, her long, silver tail hanging out the doorway.

During the night, the chickens roosted on the woman, glad to have a surprise source of warmth in the cold winter night. By morning, she would be covered in feathers and would have a headache like no other, but hopefully the chickens at least learned a valuable lesson about their own mortality.

"Speech"


Io has a dwarf caribou companion and a snow leopard companion. Assume they aren't with her unless stated otherwise.
