Shoot fire and a biscuit [PO]

A lookout? That wasn't a bad idea. The duck could fly ahead and then come back and tell her what to expect. Oh! Maybe he could even help her hunt. He could tell her exactly where the game was and she wouldn't have to wander around looking for it anymore. Bet that would make her siblings jealous. The duckling wasn't exactly a cool pet, but at least she had a pet. "That's cool." It really was. Sirius did kind of want to question his choice of companions, but she had a duck, so who was she to criticize?

"What do you want, Kyarst?" she asked suddenly, but not unkindly. The wording could have been better, sure, but it had popped out before she had time to process and refine it. Why? Why did he want to talk to her? Shouldn't he be avoiding her? It was better if they just went their separate ways. Really, it was.
