Thoughts telling me I'm lost getting too loud

Her expression turned into a slight frown at the mention of a disease that was able to infect multiple species. If that was the case, then she would put her exploratory expeditions on hold, at least until she knew it was safer to go beyond where her family had set up, as for the time being they seemed relatively safe. "Yes, quite... is it still around?" Perhaps she would be lucky and this disease was already leaving now that Summer was well on the way, and she could brave heading down south to poke her head around.
She thought about what she wanted to ask Aster, trying to decide what the most valuable piece of information would be for her to know before she set out. "Is there a pack close by to here?" Iðunn said simply. She didn't want to step on the toes of any potential pack wolves while she was out exploring, as her family was still getting used to this new land, and they didn't need the extra danger of dealing with an angry pack so soon after setting up camp. It would be best to know just how cautious she would need to be.
Iðunn blinked in quick succession at the rapid fire of the blue birds next words, ears twitching with the effort of translating everything enough to get the gist of what Aster was saying. The common tongue was still difficult for her to understand, particularly when the other creature was speaking very fast, but she felt confident enough in her abilities to not mistranslate anything too badly. "Predators need meat to survive," she finally said with a shrug of her shoulders. And the old gods needed sacrifices in order to bestow blessings upon their followers. The strength of the blessing was only as powerful as the worth of the creature offered as the sacrifice.
It seemed as if the blue bird was intending on leaving soon, so Iðunn figured it would be best to try and catch the bird before then, and to do that she needed to be fast. But too fast and the bird would spook, flying safely away and up into the air. She slowly stood up, stretching out her neck and legs as slowly and calmly as she thought was necessary to keep Aster from becoming wary. A precise strike would be needed to trap the wings beneath her paws, similar to how a snake would strike out to deliver a dose of venom. "Have you met any friendly hawks or owls?" Iðunn asked Aster, hoping to distract her by getting her to ramble on about birds, so that her attacking strike would go by unnoticed until it was too late.
