I wonder into the forest taking in the fresh air, the birds singing and everything calm in a nice summer breeze. Flowers... Truly everywhere I feel completely at peace and I wonder further... I encounter a stream and decide to sit down and watch the currents flow and listen to the water whilst I write in my Journal.

*And for a time, there is simply peace, and quiet, and the sounds of nature. And then, to the side, the conspicuous crunch of a stick snapping beneath one's foot. To the left, a towering form can be seen moving slowly through the trees, startlingly dark against the green of the forest and- outside of that single sound to announce its presence- utterly silent in its relaxed movement. Upon closer inspection, the thing seems to be feathered, and a sudden flash of glossy black reveals an unmistakable beak. This creature is avian, even as it is humanoid! And with slow, large strides, it makes its way towards the stream nearby.*

My attention turns to the snapping branch only to see a large feathered black Avian, my eyes flutter as I take in it's glory. I cannot help myself but to watch as it moves, this creature, no this beautiful creature wandering through this forest as the same time as I? What a wonderful surprise!
Hazel
*For her part, the avian continues moving as if unaware of the other just nearby. Only a moment later does that large, feathery avian step up to the creek's edge. Then, with a lift of a black-scaled leg, she steps into the water. Two, three more strides are taken, and the bird stands up to the shins in running water, facing downstream. A glitter of malachite reveals her eye color, and it seems the large bird still has yet to notice the other's presence as she stands there.*

I set my book aside and watch as it steps into the water, its beautiful eyes shimmer. I want to watch, see what happens next! I stand slowly trying not to spook it and slowly unbutton my loose white shirt that reveals my fit abdomen and chest underneath, my golden hair flies in the wind as I kick off my boots as well. I feel the temptation to join it, to be beside it in it's glory... *I have seen many Avians before but this one is different*...
