Aka had never felt so lonely. It was nice, sure, these past few cycles, being alone and not caring. Being alone and not worrying. But at the same time, it was terrifying. He hated being alone. Occasionally he'd see another Gembound around, but he'd never approach them. Sometimes though, he'd get so lonely he'd just talk to his food, dangling a mouse by its tail and spouting off random things, just to socialize. Strange, but something not too bad.
However, the day had come. He was going to approach someone. The Barn Owl groaned at the thought, surprised that he was so anxious about it. Aka moved quickly, his talons clicking against the ground of Polaris quietly. He paced back and forth, deciding how to approach someone else. Or how he would react if he was approached. The bird had no clue.

Aka continued his pacing. It was useless, but it was better than nothing. His thoughts were interrupted by what he thought to be a goose, though it didn't look very much like one, walked past him.
His head swiveled to look at the creature, his eyes wider than usual, which was saying a lot. The bird studied the freak of nature as it moved, noticing it's quilled wings and the spikes that ran along its spine.
The barn owl moved after it, opening his beak to speak.
"Hey, mutant." He called rudely, his voice bored. But in reality, he was rather excited to see someone else. Even if it was a terrifying thing that he thought should not exist.
@Blackberry
Aka's rude call was replied with by a now very angry goose thing.
"Um, aren't you an ugly looking goose thing with a big bad attitude?" He replied sarcastically, rolling his eyes. He tried completely ignore the fact that the strange creature's belly trap thingy open slightly. It horrified the owl.
"Shut your trap. It's disgusting." Aka demanded in a bored tone.
"Oh, and I'm Aka, you?" He asked as if his horrible manners and rude behavior was completely normal. The bird hadn't been taught any manners at all, he had only ever met the wolf, Kera, and he stole from her. His track record
was not great.
@Blackberry
Aka groaned. This bird was a show-off, a self-proclaimed killer.
"Oh! Did you make those little charms in arts and crafts? How cute" He retorted, paying no mind to the claims of defeating dragon and snakes and other creatures. They were most likely lies.
Did the bird want to die? No. Did he think bird-brain Blackberry would kill him? No. She was probably all talk and no fight. After all, Kera had said something like she was the best fisher, and yet she almost drowned because she couldn't. Or was she trying to save him? Aka didn't remember, but that didn't matter.
"Show me, then, if you really are so badass, mutant." Aka taunted, spreading his wings for effect, leaving his body unprotected.
@Blackberry
Aka practically laughed s the goose stopped her attack. What was she doing? Letting him get at her? Foolish bird. He didn't give his reply and instead propelled himself forward through the air, picking his talons up and gripping the goose's throat lightly. He tried to get a better grip, but the hard growth on the back of her neck prevented him from getting a good hold.
"To see if you had the guts to attack. Guess you don't mutant." He spat, his eyes glared. He kept flapping his wings steadily, staying in the air, his body being pushed forward. He held onto Blackberry's throat though, and it anchored him.
