Corbie was worried about Aryn. Something about the way she talked - or didn't talk - about her pack and the fact that she felt she had to hide her livestock venture away from them struck her as concerning, and the way she was always so anxious and apologetic as though she were an inconvenience, rather than a good person with a lovely heart, made Corbie think there was more wrong there than just being embarrassed by her pack might cause. While she didn't want to bull in and interfere in Aryn's life, Corbie did want to make it better. There was a lot she couldn't do right now to fix things, but she could show Aryn that she was cared for, and maybe brighten things for her.
She'd decided that the best way of doing that, for now, would be to make her something pretty that could cheer her up every time she saw or heard it. She'd gone back to the stash that she and Ignis had found in one of the metal hulks and had scavenged some more things from it, including thin copper wire that had just needed the weird brightly colored almost waxy coating peeled from it, some light metal tubes, and a bunch of pretty colored glass she'd picked up from here and there from long broken bottles and windows.
Ayer was picking over the broken glass. She'd be carefully drilling holes in each piece with a flint spike since she had hands and corbie didn't. Luckily the metal tubes had holes already, or she didn't know how she'd get anything through them. Her plan was to use short pieces of the wire to hang a pattern of glass that would meet in the middle with a thicker wire loop to use to hang it on something, and longer pieces of wire to suspend the small tubes under it. A pretty chunk of quartz would hang between the pattern of tubes, so that when the wind blew the rock would bounce around the tubes, making a chiming sound. The glass and the quartz both would shine in the sun, and the pretty colors of the glass would be cast around it as the sun shone through it. She thought it would be something that could make Aryn happy.
She'd only just started sorting the wire pieces by size, though, when a sound made her prick up her ears and glance around with interest.

unless otherwise stated, Corbie's kinkajou companion is with her at all times
