Mal hissed through her teeth. "[color=CC14CA]No, no, no. You all want to go off and waste time and energy trying to hunt when we could get over to that city when Flick [i]just[/i] said that we should get there early? Come on, have at least [i]some[/i] sense. I know you got it in you.[/color]" She stepped fully clear of the cave and splayed her enormous wings. She rolled her shoulders, relishing the unfamiliar sensation of being able to stretch her wings whenever she wanted. "[color=CC14CA]We gotta get there as soon as we can, and I don't think it'd be a good idea to split up, not so soon and not so close to...[/color]" she shivered slightly, then cleared her throat.

She could see where the rest of the flock was coming from, she really could. Hell, she was pretty scared herself. It had been a rough three days, and she certainly didn't want it to get any rougher. Still, though, as much as she loved the freedom of living in the woods (which she really did), she was hungry, sore from sleeping on rocks, and beginning to chafe from the hospital gown. If she didn't get something new to wear and something filling to eat (and from what she'd been shown on the food count, people tended to throw a lot of stuff out), she was going to break something. Someone. Whatever, it didn't matter, she was going to get mad and probably punch the rock for about fifteen minutes, or until she couldn't feel her fists anymore.

"[color=CC14CA]Anyway. If I really hafta, though, I'll head out to the city alone. Call me a scouting party. I'm goin' in maybe ten minutes. If anyone wants to come, I think it'd be the best idea, but hey,[/color]" she shrugged, "[color=CC14CA]what do I know?[/color]"

With that, she leapt in the air and pushed her wings downward, slowly beating her way into the sky, where she peered down at the ground below her with a laserlike gaze, gliding in broad, swooping circles. She inhaled the crisp, chill morning air, focusing on calming her rapidly fraying nerves.

"[color=CC14CA]Idiots,[/color]" she muttered, words snatched away by the wind. "[color=CC14CA]I'm sick of rabbits and nuts.[/color]"
