Aniya barely glanced at the ground far below as she carefully arranged twigs between two branches. Under, over, and around. Just the basic nest weaving strategy. Aniya was creating her first nest. She had just left her parents and was now establishing a bed for the oncoming nights. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed birds flitting around the heart. Laughter and friendliness always surrounded the Heart. Once Aniya was finished with her creation, she hopped back a couple wings-lengths to view her new home. I was a sloppy mess of sticks. Aniya scowled at her "nest." The ugly thing could hardly be even called a platform. Aniya let out a small screech of frustration as she flapped into the air. She curl her talons, readying to destroy the thing that had stolen so much of her time. But the glint of the setting sun halted Aniya's tantrum. She didn't have time to make a new one. For tonight, this was all she had. She settled onto the platform and watched the moon rise into the blackening sky.

(Of course, just remember to keep OOC chat in parenthesis or it'll get confusing)
Aniya tossed and turned on her "nest." The stupid twigs kept stupidly poking her in her stupid back. Why was everything so stupid?!?!? Aniya hated her new life already. She already was longing for Mother's feathers to cozy up to on the cold night. She was actually missing the ever present squabbles of her siblings. Well, not really. Aniya wished she had something to look at other than the pitch black sky and the slightly glowing moon.

(I will)
Flame squirmed around, wishing his brothers would leave him alone and stop making so much noise. He finally snapped and almost pushed his brother,Carmen, out of the nest. His mother came back with a couple of worms, but his refused to eat them. He was an adult! He didn't need his parent to feed him, he could feed himself! He kept telling himself as he left the nest and flew off to find food for himself.

A streak of movement caught Aniya's eye. A bird? Why was a bird flying around in the middle of the night?! At least this gave her an excuse to leave her wretched pile of branches behind. She took off with a strong flap of her wings. Her flight feathers hit the platform and Aniya let out a note of surprise as twig tumbled towards the ground. She flapped frantically to regain her in-flight balance. When she finally right herself, she could barely glimpse the bird's red feathers. Aniya propelled herself forward with a couple flaps. She quickly gained speed. Soon she was gaining on the bird. It was a falcon and much larger than Aniya. Aniya shuttered. She hated raptors. Their beaks and talons seemed only a couple inches away from destroy her fragile little body. But the fact that the mysterious bird was a bird of prey made things more suspicious. Aniya loved a little adventure.

Flame Kept flying until he saw a small songbird. He gazed at her and and landed on a small branch from a nearby tree. He noticed that his talons and beak were scaring her so he tried to cover them up or make them look smaller. Which made him look ridiculous. "Hi, I am flame" he said to her in his kindest voice.

Aniya tried to stealthily follow the falcon but her ninja skills were nonexistent. He noticed her within a couple seconds. He landed and seemed to be trying to appear peaceful by covering his beak and talons. Aniya tried to not let her smile show. Since the beak was the most prominent feature of birds' faces, the falcon look extremely silly. He introduced himself in kind voice that Aniya did not believe that raptors had. "Aniya," she responded watching Flame closely. "Why are you flying at night?" she asked bluntly her eyes searching for some evil purpose.

"I was hungry and so I thought that I would go for a flight and find something to eat." He said trying to look strong and brave. "Do you want to come with me?" he asked spreading his long wings, making his colors and marking stand out boldly. I watched her looking at her colors and admiring her every movement. "I.. I... um.. Yea." he said almost falling off the branch. "This isn't helping, is it." he said smiling.

"Isn't it hard to hunt at night? Even the owls prefer twilight or right before dawn not at midnight. But I wouldn't know would I?" Aniya noted how clumsy he had suddenly become and how he was showing off his colors. Plus he was staring at her. She put them together... Was he smitten? Aniya almost laughed but hid her amusement. She was tiny compared to a falcon. "But I'll come," she continued.

"OK, its not super hard. I just was hungry and didn't really think about it." He said flying off the branch and close to her. Flame couldn't think of what to do. Should I make a move or not? He kept asking himself, Flame started to fly off stopping every minute or so to see if she was following. Flame had forgotten all about his hunger, meeting an attractive female bird is very distracting and its hard to think of anything else.

Aniya followed the male into the sky. She scanned the ground. Though her eyesight was not near as crisp as a falcon,she spotted berries hidden among a bushes, raspberries by the size color and shape. She dived down to pick one. Then swooped back into the air, holding the berry in her beak. She swooped ahead of the falcon and landed on a branch not too far away. Though falcons were fast while diving, a fast bird, like Aniya, could quickly outfly them in level flight. Aniya ate the berry and watched Flame approach.

Flame watched her land on a branch. I landed next to her, "So..." He said watching her and fluffing my feathers and casually put my wing around her. "What do you wanna do?" He said slightly scooting closer to her.

Aniya noticed a mouse scuttling across the forest "Weren't you hunting?" she asked nodding at the mouse while trying not to touch Flame or his wing. Aniya didn't believe in love at first sight but Flame obviously did. He seemed oblivious to the fact that she wasn't interested.
