: ...The air is warm, and I am sitting on a log, near the shore of the Thassa, but hidden from sight. I have one of the branches that I had cut from the tree, and am using a quiva to carve the branch into the proper shape for my flute. I had stashed the rest of the cut branches in a corner of my hut, and was working with this piece. Most of the branch is left into it's proper circumference, but I am working on making a gradual taper towards the end, and a tight taper towards the mouthpiece. Mirage is sitting nearby, her beak open as she pants in the humid air. I meet her baleful, yellowed eyed glare with my own, baleful, dark brown eyed glare. I look away for for a moment, and decide that I will not leave my flute laying around, now that I know that Mirage loves to steal them.

: ...a bit of the fresh sea breeze rustles my hair, and my feathered ornament. I concentrate on carving small slivers of wood towards the tapered end. The task relaxes me, and I stay quiet, listening to the sounds of the jungle. Bird calls, and occasionally I hear the snort of a tarsk. I am especially attentive to the sounds of my sisters, and frown, at times, hearing the amateur birdcalls of some of the newer scouts. I see that I will need to speak to the Head Scout, Fang, and get her to drill the girls better. When we are stalking human prey, we need to blend in, and even a Tuchuk would be able to sense that the whistles I am hearing are from women, and not the local fauna. I turn back towards my carving, and narrow my dark brown orbs as I run the sharp edge of the quiva along the grain of the wood, seeing an almost translucent sliver peel off of the tube.

: ...I stop, running my hands along the wood, I have done the basic shaping, and now I need to saw it in half. The final shaping will be done after the halves have been glued back together. I set the branch into my parfleche, and then rise, looking around the Jungle. The Lair does seem to be settling into this new area, I think, and we are all studying the local environment. Still, I long for the forests, they had been cleaner, and we had understood them much better than this tropical Jungle.

: ...I take my spear up in my right fist, and take up my patrol. I give a brief birdwhistle, and after a short wait, hear Gia's response. I head towards the beach, and then take a small game trail that parallels it. I move along , my eyes relaxed, but all of my senses attuned to the Jungle.
