Malalia sat beside him, a great deal more cautious than Mortis. For someone who’s wings didn’t actually function in flight, he was certainly fearless of heights. At least, he was now. There had been a period of time in his life he wouldn’t go near them. This very tree had been a part of building up his confidence again. “I certainly thought so.” He had been a lonelier wolf when he had first ventured into these tree-tops. Isolated from his family partly by his own design, partly out of Azure’s behaviour. Something had changed between then and now. Lots of little things, for sure. A growth in his confidence. The biggest had been meeting Malalia, making a friend out of her. She had changed him, helped him grow into himself at a crucial time. He owed her a lot, though he didn’t think he could ever say it.

He smiled wryly at the little bird-figure as she picked it up and held it out towards him. “Io made that, when I was… smaller then you are” he teased her height with a gentle nudge - making sure he didn’t actually knock her at all. She was skittish enough of this high-place. “It was supposed to show me that wings could be natural, I think” he admitted with a soft laugh. It had been once a security blanket, now it was a lost trinket he hadn’t realised was up here.

Now that the two of them weren’t clammering up a tree or moving around so much, he could hear the fluttering of wings as the birds re-organised themselves throughout this tree and others nearby. The sound of their songs starting up , soft chirping, a curious chill, and mating calls.
