"Now look here, whatever your name is!" Pinion said, its voice halting but its mind racing. "I've never done anything to hurt the parakeets but every time I try talking to you, you all get scared and fly away like I'm some kind of monster. Have I ever actually done anything to deserve this? Or are you really all just cowards?"

The leader inched away, its feet moving swiftly as it traversed the branch. "I think this discussion is over," it said and flew away, leaving a frustrated and hurt flamingo glaring after it.

And hey, that's a wrap, I guess. Time for Pinion to take a few deep breaths and decide what it wants to do next. There's just one option but that'll lead you to a long list of choices.
