[ a flurry of leafy outdoor motion! and it seems to have cut in mid-sentence, or at least mid-shout— ]

—wanted was to know if I had found North yet! [ oh a face!! big dark eyes, huge scowl, and like the biggest, fluffiest hooded jacket ever. ] They were very rude and I would not have minded hurting them, or maybe I would kill them, but they ran away, and now my back hurts. Raafa says people who run away are cowards, and not worth anything. I do not want to see any of them again.

[ a pause, one heavy, frustrated sigh, and then she looks a little bit less pissed. it's good to have that out of her system. no onto what really matters, in the middle of this violent occupation. ]

Also, I want someone to teach me to write.

No, you will not. Humans make our language sound very bad.

[doctorly]

[quirks a sort of amused look.]

I see, so you're one of non-humans too then?

[flightlessbird]

I do not look human, do I? [ sort of doubtful, sort of EW GROSS I DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU RIGHT ]

[doctorly]

Well.. Not really, uh.

[he gestures to the jacket with his hands, course the eyes alone should have been as much a hint. gosh we humans aren't that bad!!] That's covering you mostly so guess I hadn't noticed too much.

[flightlessbird]

[ oh. well. fair enough. she shrugs out of the jacket, folding her arms over the thin shirt that leaves her with. it at least shows off the feathery ear-tufts, if nothing else. ]

There.

[John was going to say she could have just pushed the hood back!! but oh. wow.]

Wow. [yeah clearly he isn't use to seeing non-human stuff! watch him be a master at this. read: not.] Are those.. your ears then?

[flightlessbird]

Yes. They are not... [ what's the word for this... she's pretty sure this is wrong, but oh well, it'll have to do ] --naked, like yours.

[doctorly]

[snorts a little laugh, oops sorry] Naked? Think you mean bare. But I can see what you mean, yours look more.. feathery.

[flightlessbird]

Yes! Bare. It means the same as naked, yes?

[doctorly]

More or less, naked usually addresses everything though.
