Blackberry looked a little hurt that Jewel had chosen to bring this up instead of talk with him.
Bandit whirled around, a look of annoyance on her face. She quickly crept behind a boulder, the two chicks following her. Blackberry stayed at the side of the boulder, watching for guards.

She looked at Jewel's face, desperate that she would understand and cooperate, if only this once. This was an important job for her, and she wished that she had brought someone else along. "And, as you know, ever since I got fired from that woodcutter job, we've needed this more than ever."
