Bohdi frowned at the tracks in the mud, her nose twitching as she sniffed the air. It didn't smell like her drakon, but Sebastion was certain that these tracks belonged to it. She supposed that made sense; Sebastion seemed real good at this investigating stuff and, truth be told. Bo had never really bothered to pay attention to such things as footprints most of the time. She pulled the lollipop from between her lips with a loud pop, her bag of candy (which she'd insisted on buying at the store with the excuse that her drakon loved sweet snacks) held in her other hand.
"More this way!" she called back to where Sebastion was crouching, frowning down at the prints. "Are we getting close?"
She sniffed again, replacing her candy so she could itch her nose. A black bird with brilliant red wings burst from the forest, squawking in alarm. Bohdi watched it pass by with interest, snapping at the last second to capture the bird in her fist - it was no doubt jarring for the poor creature, but she was careful to be gentle.
"Where are you going, angry bird?" Bohdi asked it pointedly. The bird, terrified at being held prisoner by such an intimidating fairy, went still except for its ragged breathing.
"Danger!" the bird replied anxiously. "Danger ahead!"
"Oh," Bohdi said, releasing the bird. It took a moment to gather its thoughts before flying away.
"Bird says danger ahead." Bohdi told Sebastion matter-of-factly; her tone was much the same as one would use to announce that it was Wednesday.
