Bevy had to agree with what Makyna was saying. Material things weren't that important... She did like her gems quite a bit, even though she only had a few, but she would never hurt another gembound over them. It wasn't worth it. She only had them because... Well, Ratchie had decided that every gem they collected could be connected to each of them. For instance, the first one she ever got was Enna's. She absolutely adored the gem and was more than happy to go fetch it. Spreading her wings, the tiny bird took off once more to get the gem. By now it was small enough compared to her that it was easy to carry in her beak-- it was not much bigger than the gem on her chest, after all.

The gem was kept in a small nest among the ridges that lined the south wall where Bevy slept. She picked out its small, beautiful blue color among the dark grey rock, and scooped it into her beak before turning and gliding back down to the lioness. She was glad that her healing had seemed to do some good for her friend. At the very least she had prevented the cub from becoming sick-- she didn't want to think of what might have happened if the wound had gotten worse.

The gem was an icy blue, uneven shaped rock that glistened in the bright white light of the lanterns that lit up Pisces. It had flecks, perhaps just bubbles and air pockets, of white that looked like bright stars in the pale blue of the gem. It almost looked like a wing, with the way it was cleaved from whatever cluster it had once belonged to. It was a stark contrast to Bevy's black and red form, but ever since Ratchie suggested it was Enna's, the main fronter of the bird took special pride in the tiny gemstone. It was special.

"Do you like it?"

The lioness' thoughts ranged over various different things. Golems, the fight, the gems she'd seen. Anything and everything really. It was because she was lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the bird approach until the gem was sat on the ground. Makyna's eyes shifted upwards to land on the object. To say the least the lioness was stunned at its beauty. It was so gorgeous! It was similar to her own gem's color but while hers was a plain blue this one was flecked with different colors that sparkled beautifully in the light. It almost seemed like a few stars were glistening within the stone... and the shape! It reminded her vaguely of Bevy's own wing. Gorgeous!

"Wooow... Bevy, it's beautiful..." She breathed in awe. The lioness reached out with one paw to touch it gently, stroking it with her soft toes. The gemstone was tiny but that didn't take away from its appearance at all. If anything the size made it more suited than anything for the bird. "You found such a beautiful thing. Be sure to hold onto it tight." The lioness smiled. Thievery was a foreign thing to her as no one had ever stolen from her and she'd never wanted to do it herself so that wasn't what she was implying. What she was implying was that such a special thing should always be kept close where you could keep an eye on them.

Speaking of eyes, hers were starting to feel heavy again. A large yawn erupted from the female's jowls that exposed all of her sharp fangs. She hadn't meant to yawn it just happened... Perhaps the excitement of the day was catching up to her.

"Talking looks like this!"
Thinking looks like this...

Bevy's eyes shimmered with pride as the lioness became absorbed in the beauty of her little treasure. "Thank you. I'll be sure to keep it safe," she peeped, spreading a wing over it to take it back. She was so glad that her friend liked it! She was glad that it was worth protecting, that she had something so special. It especially made her happy since Ratchie had said that the stone was something like Enna's spirit, and so with Ky saying it was beautiful... Well, it was almost like complimenting her indirectly. Not that the cub knew that, but still.

It was then that Makyna yawned, and Bevy knew just what the lioness needed. Rest. And she wasn't going to get any of that with her chirping the poor feline's ear off! She dipped her head in a tiny nod and tweeted softly, "Alright, you get some sleep. If you want to just say here, I can keep an eye on you. You should be safe anyway, here in Pisces. Just take it easy."

With that, she scooped up her stone back into her beak and tilted her head at the lioness. Unfortunately now she had the fun part of trying to fly back up to her little nook... And Enna wasn't the best at flying yet. She shook out her tail feathers a bit and tried not to fret about something so silly and small. "You'll feel better in no time, I bet!"

Makyna's head nodded as another yawn took away her ability to speak. Yeah, she should probably rest. It would help her recover faster. "Thank-you. I think I would like to stay here, at least until this chest heals a little bit more and it doesn't hurt to walk." She had no doubt that she would be perfectly safe in Pisces but if the bird wanted to keep an eye on her and keep her company while she healed that would be nice too. Ky would surely enjoy the company of someone to talk to.

Her eyelids began to lower as Bevy scooped up her stone. It was becoming very hard to keep her eyelids open so she just gave in, letting the world become dark around her. Bevy's words sounded distant in her ears and in all reality she had no idea what was being said so she gave an "mmmhmmm" in hopes that it would answer whatever question or sentence the bird had murmured. Now, she let herself be taken by dreams. When all was once dark it exploded into a variety of color that painted the world. First she was playing with Leon and splashing in the lagoon but then her new friend Bevy came along and they all played together. In the real world her mouth curved up into a smile.

She was happy.

"Talking looks like this!"
Thinking looks like this...

Bevy couldn't help but admire Ky's bravery about the whole situation. If she had hurt her wing and couldn't fly, she didn't know what she would do. She could go back to hopping around, but even that would be difficult without her wings to balance her. She wished her friend a speedy recovery, one that would make everything okay so she could walk once more without so much pain.

The tiny bird clutched her shiny stone in her beak and took flight, making plenty of big down strokes so she could get high enough to land neatly in her nook. She managed to do it without bonking her head or slipping or half falling off the cliff for once, so maybe she was getting the hang of it.

She quickly found the small spot she kept her treasures in and returned the blue crystal to its home. With that done, the young bird returned to the ledge and peered out over the misty land, the sound of the waterfall roaring in her ears. Her red gaze landed on the tan fur of her friend and she relaxed, feeling as home as she had ever been. Makyna was so kind... She was glad the lioness and her bear friend had come here. Now she had something to guard.

And although she was small, Bevy would be the best guardian the Maji Walezi had ever seen.

;; bevy exit! :D
