Ashkii lived a relatively quiet and sheltered life growing up. It was only in the past year that he began to explore the border of Sauti. While his home settlement of Yware was nowhere near the border, his travels brought him up toward Isd. In his constant quest to learn more about the land's diverse flora and fauna, he found himself curious about all the places he'd never been.
The young naturalist was deep in contemplation when Zumei started waving and shouting in his direction about the incoming flock of birds. He didn't respond with words immediately, slowly piecing together what was going on.
As the flock raced toward him, Ashkii finally shifted to the side so that he could swing himself up one of the sparse trees nearby. While he was climbing, it would become apparent that this kind of situation wasn't entire uncommon for the almost feral kid.
"Oof! What'dya do to piss 'em off?" The Leaf kid asked in a scratchy voice that was unused to being used.
From up high in the tree's branches he was able to drop an arm down as the group of Scorra passed underneath to grab the strap of Zumei's bag. He looked like he was going to pass it back, but didn't do so right away. Instead, he dropped a handful of ground nuts and seeds down to distract and entice the flock of fearful animals.
