Cement opened her beak to reply, but was cut short when Riski heroically appeared. She tensed, prepared to fight or flee.(No, it’s fine. Just curious. I had no idea you could even use byc on a flip phone)
“Oh I don’t know about that,” Ritz said. “Now that I have my job as a gull scout...” Ritz. “Well, they have those gang raids on the gulls sometimes, and now some of the gangs are planning a coup on One Toe. But Cement doesn’t want that to happen, since the pigeon they’ll put in charge will be worse than One Toe! So the gulls are going to ally with Cement’s gang. I found this all out because I was the one who flew to scout out Cement’s territory. I had to fly back and forth between the territories and send messages.”
Russet jumped back and shared a look with Cement. “Uh... do you need help?”
Like an avenging guardian angel, a mostly-white figure swooped down from above. Riski landed awkwardly on the rock. And Fish Sticks had somehow managed to get himself into a fight. He’s like a chick. Can’t let him go unsupervised for the time it takes to catch a couple of good fish.
“What’s going on here?” He boomed. Actually, his voice was more like a weird honking noise, but it sounded like a boom to Russet who was used to the peaceful coos of doves.
Vaatras froze, the end of one of Fish Stick’s wings in his beak. He looked wide-eyed at Riski.
Oyster’s eyes narrowed with annoyance. She had thought that Vaatras had made up the story of the huge-gull as an excuse for not being able to catch Fish Sticks. Obviously not. Despite her new predicament, she grinned. Oyster raised her head and stared at the sky. Several rapidly enlarging gray blobs were descending upon the island. Good thing I brought reinforcements.
