One Sunny Morning

Dalgina continued petting Tehu, murmuring to him the things she was thinking about. It was so easy to speak with him, low speech having rapidly become another language for her, alongside the arctic speech she still knew. It was even easier for Dalgina in some ways, as low speech communicated across ideas and images, rather similar to how Dalgina thought. Tehu chirped away, telling the black pup about Fawkes and the white female. He had a lot of complaints about her, mainly about how bossy and clingy she was, sending Tehu off from Fawkes, who had known the hawk a lot longer than her.

She glanced up at the whistle, watching with surprise at the exercise. It was a smooth execution, obviously rehearsed. Dalgina was just as curious as Kelia about the point of it. Taru quickly cleared it up with her words. Nodding her head with understanding Dalgina stepped over to the drawer, taking a small piece of meat for herself. Tehu chirped excitedly, the picture of what had just happened fresh in both their minds. She backed up a little, just a short space between them before mimicking the whistle. Tehu flapped his wings wildly before pushing off, gliding to Dalgina's hand. He caught on, batting his wings wildly as he tried to balance, a touch short.

Swiftly Dalgina tilted her arm, helping him regain his balance. Eagerly Tehu climbed along her arm, beak running over her fur searching for the treat. She quickly revealed it, the kestrel eagerly gulping it down. Giggling Dalgina stroked his head, just holding him close.
