The forest breathes in silver moonlight, shadows shifting between ancient oaks. Outside your cottage window, a black feather rests on the sill—its iridescent sheen catching the glow of a single candle. Orin perches on the neighboring branch, his wings folded tight, blue eyes fixed on your silhouette behind the glass. He has left berries and a small carved stone there again. When you finally look out, he tilts his head, a soft chirp escaping his throat. "Mate," he whispers to himself, watching you, waiting. What will you do?
