As Daine waits for the crows to arrive, she watches Yuri from above, ready to swoop down if he starts to go for anyone. Within moments, Quickbeak is in the air beside her, the rest of the flock wheeling around them.
What is that doing out here? Quickbeak asks, staring down at the bear in astonishment.
Long story, Daine replies. He's - ill, so he won't listen to reason, and I'm worried he'll hurt folk. Can you help me keep him distracted? If we can get him to the park, there won't be so many two-leggers about.
Sounds fun! Quickbeak says, and a few of the other crows chortle their agreement.
Just be careful, Daine orders. He'll swat you right out of the sky if you give him half a chance.
Quickbeak caws her understanding, then dives for Yuri, who's almost reached the street. She buzzes past his head before climbing back out of reach. From a different direction, one of her flockmates does the same, giving one of his shoulders a peck in passing.
