"BIRD WATCHING"

She'd let those fluffy white birds get away with their indiscretions one too many times - who'd they think they were anyway? Stretching their long ugly necks at her when she got too close and letting out those awful harpie screeches out of their sharp devil beaks like they owned the place! Mneme fumed as she was frantically chased away from her hiding spot in the reeds by a pair of boisterous swans - though they had good reason for it (Mneme had gotton a little too close to a nest of eggs snuggled up in the damp shoreline foliage) she didn't know that, and now she held a heavy enmity against the ivory Avians.

Safely on shore now, far from the murky water's egde and the snapping beak of the angry male swan and the squawking protests of the protective female, the child sent forth a squawk of her own, "You're just big ducks, you know that?!" The ducks were a little nicer though, and they hardly bit her as often.

With a dark scowl framing her features the pup paced the shoreline, eyeing the swans as they gracefully waded atop the water. She couldn't deny it, they really were one of the most lovely creatures to bless the estuary, but she'd never let them know that, "You're uglier than ducks though!" She laughed then, acting as if she was unfazed by the swans and their attacks, but she quieted and coughed nervously as she caught the bigger swan staring her down.

She got it then, the most glorious idea yet! If she was going to take down these swans she'd need an army - but where would she get one of those? The first 'recruits' to pop into her head were of course her siblings, her number one turn to when she needed to fill an empty place in one of her many schemes. She decided she'd convince Philotes first and she let out a few chirps for her complete opposite of a sister before turning to watch the swans with a smirk - Mneme was practically rubbing her paws together with an evil laugh.
