The adolescent was sitting by the large body of water she had enjoyed staring at recently. She wasn't a big thinker but often felt herself contemplating as her blue orbs gazed across the surface, all tension eased from her lithe body. Lowering herself slightly, her maw fell onto her sturdy paws, giving a little thud as it did.
A sigh escaped her parted muzzle, boredom was an emotion she despised. She wondered where Dhati was, maybe they could go hunting again... Dropping her vision, she focused on the cracks in the ground, they certainly seemed more interesting than anything else that was going on. ,

Oh it had been a long time since she'd had any company that was for sure. For here flew little orange Kucha, her feathers as bright as the sun as she flittered through the air. Her calls echoed across the ground as she darted back and forth, eyes watching the ground below for any sign of life.
She wasn't expecting to meet anyone, but then to her amazement she saw someone she hadn't seen in a long time.
She'd never forget that hyperactive little pup she had met all those months ago.
"Hey there!" She twittered as she landed on the ground, hopping forwards until she was just in front of the dog's paws. "Mataka isn't it?" She canted her head, "remember me?"

Eyes widened in slight disbelief, she rose quickly, a smile appearing on her ebony muzzle. "Kucha?!?" She asked, running foward to greet the little bird, lowering her eyes to meet hers. "Wow, its been a while..." She remembered when she first met the sweet little bird and had been staying in the jungle. She bounced exictedly. "Eeee!" She let out a high-pitched squeal and her grin widened. "It's sooo good to see you!"

"And you." The bird flicked her wings to her sides and tipped her head up to meet the cheerful face of the female. "You've grown!" She could hardly believe how much the wild dog had changed in appearance. She was rather stunning now with her beautiful patched coat and large eyes. "Glad to see you haven't changed in personality though, so many others do." She chirped, pausing to peck experimentally at the ground.

Shifting her weight, she fell back a little, blue eyes remaining on the beautifully-coloured avian. "Yes, I've found myself growing a lot lately, and my mind seems to be playing tricks on me..." Shaking her head slightly, she thought back to Dhati, and the strange encounter they had a few days ago. Hoever the energetic spark was not drained from her eyes and she nodded enthusiastically. "But, yes, I'll always be the same old Mataka!" She barked happily.

Kucha seemed rather pleased to hear that the pup was still the same and bobbed her head, strutting sideways in a rather show-offish fashion. Then dipping her body forwards she fluttered up to perch upon Mataka's long snout. "Tricks, what sort of tricks?" She bobbed on her spindly legs, beady eyes bright with curiousity.

Mataka giggled, her sout was suddenly very ticklish. "Kuchaaa!" She squeaked, in a very pup-like manner. "That tickles..." Twitching her nose, her eyes focused on the orange figure between them. "Tricks.." She repeated, looking at the floor in an embarassed way. "Around my friends. I've started to feel weird, and he's been telling me I look different, pretty..." Blinking slowly, she looked back to her nose, trying hard not to cross her eyes. "Am I sick?!" She asked, worried thoughts swirling in her mind.

Kucha released a high-pitched keening - her version of laughter - as she realised how ticklish the pup's nose was. It was very clear Mataka was not a pup any longer but to Kucha the wild dog would always be the same little bundle of hyperactive fur she had met all that time ago.
Then she fluttered up to land on the top of her head, perching between her ears to peek down just in front of her eyes. "Sounds like Mataka is in love."

Mataka sniffed, trying hard not to sneeze. Her eyes watered, and she blinked, giggling loudly. She felt relieved as she perced on her head as opposed to her nose. Trying to turn her eyes upwards and remained focused on the little bird, her head began to hurt, and at the avians words she felt her gaze fall anyway.
"Love?!" She cocked a brow questioningly. "I am not in love. He is my friend!" She nodded lightly, yet still firmly, trying not to make Kucha fall off her head.

The little bird moved again, used to fluttering all over the place as she skidded to a halt in front of the pup's paws, turning to gaze up at her. If it was possible she would have smiled but her beakwould not allow it so she dipped her body in a sort of bow and extended her wings.
"Does your heart beat faster when you see him? Do flips perhaps? Do you feel warm and happy in his presence? Do you find yourself daydreaming about him?" She kept firing the questions at her in hopes of helping the pup to her conclusion.

She winced at the birds constant fluttering, ducking to avoid having her head beat with a wing. Blinking, she considered these questions in her head, eyes reflecting the orange bird, and her gaze a little dazzled. "No..." She lied, her stomach knotting itself as she sighed...

Kucha tilted her head very slightly, beady eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Is that the truth or is little Mataka telling lies? You know you can't get anything past me!" She chided, flapping her wings in a a flurry of orange.

Giving a little chuckle, she shurgged, or as close to shrugging as she could manage. This little female didn't miss a thing! Coughing lightly, she felt much more calm when subjects like this were brought up, however she felt a little awkward.
"Alright, I lied...." She bowed her head. "But what am I meant to do?"

Kucha settled now, tucking her legs beneath her as she lay on the ground, wings tucked against her sides. She was like an advisor or a caring mother trying to take care of her little one. "You should talk to him, tell him how you feel. The odds are that he'll feel the same, you are the prettiest wild dog I have ever seen and that's a promise! He'd be crazy not to love you in return."

Mataka blinked, thinking of how strange Dhati has acted previous to her self-confession. Did she love him, did he love her? She highly doubted her felt anything like that towards her, but maybe she should talk to him. She felt nervous... At the birds kind words she sprang up, smiled wide and sweet. "Awww Kucha! You are the sweetest little creaure I've ever met!
" She lowered her snout, nudging the avian affectionately. Kucha was one of her first ever friends.
