The songbird leaned forward as if to better hear the buck. As his own voice quieted, a series of chirps and tweets were volleyed back. Vibrant, piercing green eyes seemed to wait and then--
"Oh, right," a sheepish voice broke the spell as the songbird vanished. Emerging from the bushes was a stunning mare, colored identical to the now departed feathered singer. Giveforward smiled broadly at the expectant father, eyes bright, "I forgot you don't speak songbird."
She took a moment -- it was still quite jarring to go from kin to songbird and back again -- before speaking to reassure him.
"Oh no, you didn't disturb me. In fact, I have been searching for you!" She bounced, giddy, "I can help you. I mean, if you want a blessing. I know not all kin seek them out..." And that last sentence seemed to almost make the mare look sad.

"Ooh, no, I don't, though I found it very lovely," Sheltered reassured, pausing to step back to get a better look at the mare, and not to be in her personal space. "I'm Sheltered.. and you were? Ooh, I was, I really was looking for a blessing." He wanted the best for his upcoming young.
"If you would be so kind?" He asked, ear perking forward. "It.. must be thrilling to be able to speak songbird."
