Zuramae was never keen on others seeing her distraught, it gave way to weakness and she never liked feeling weak. Not when she was the only one of her species. Well, one of the only. Landing in Dukinos best among his home tree Zura pondered what Diego had told her. Clara had made him promise to care for her, she didn't need anyone she had led this tribe for a few years now, she didn't need a babysitter.
Now as she shot a glance at her white and gold companion she blinked with an odd thought. What if they could bring back their species, repopulate the world with white and gold macaws. Her feathers fluffed and if she could have blushed her feathers would have been a bright red, how could she think of that at a time like this?
Dukino dipped his head to Zura and gestured a wing to the birds beside him. "Zura, you remember my mate Alysia and my son Tyrion." The two dipped their heads to Zura and she reciporcated. "Of course, it is good to see you again."
"I am glad to see you well Zuramae, the world would be a bleak place without you in it." Tyrion stated kindly. His feathering was just as vibrant as his father's and Zura remembered spending some time e with him as a fledgling. "Your words are warm Tyrion as always. I thank you." Tyrion smiled and turned to his father "These...Humans, what are we to do about them father?"
"They cannot be stopped, only fled from. Dukino they are destroying the forest, who knows how many birds have not yet escaped their homes. Soon it will be nothing but ash and death here. We should journey farther south."
Dukino appeared perplexed at her words and sighed "Zura, you know the dangers of heading that far-"
"And you have seen the danger if we don't! Look around you, we are close to extinction every one of you. I refuse to let another bird die at the hands of those creatures."
Dukino shuffled and looked to his mate, her eyes held the same fear as every bird now residing in their tree, she gave a slight nod and toughed a wing to her mates side. Dukino let a large sigh escape him before returning his gaze to Zura. "If south is where we shall be safe, south we shall go. Lead the way Zuramae."
