To say that Magnai was not best pleased was a terrible understatement, the males eyes dark as his tongue was clasped tight between his teeth. A visible sign of his displeasure. As they crossed the farm, his strides were jolted as he kicked up his hind leg, removing feathers still embedded in his fur, the stubs scratching at his skin. Irksome against the pale flesh hidden below crimson fur.

   He was not talking to Kanna or Xanthe. Kanna seemed reasonably sheepish whilst Xanthe seemed oblivious to it all. She could chatter away to Magnai quite contentedly, whether she got a response or not. That was just the way she was.

   Noki was enraptured in a discussion with Lasso, whom still seemed rather tickled by the entire thing once she had gotten the puckoos to stand down from Magnai and his small army of rock like insects. Lasso was deep into her magic tirade, albeit this making the discussion somewhat one-sided as a whole. Noki being rather interested in magic herself. She didn't say that, however, mostly just nodding and smiling.

   Finally, however, Noki found a space to cut in, “the cattle won't charge, right?” She fretted slightly, Kanna had almost lost a chunk of her nose to a gnaw. And Magnai had almost been marauded by hungry puckoos. She didn't want to imagine the damage an irate rattle cattle could cause.

   “Don't you worry none, these cattle are the calmest around, they ain't gon be phased at all, in fact, they love the littleuns.” Lasso smiled, many troops of wynglings had passed through the paddock, with calm being the only thing that followed. Noki responded with a nod, seemingly at least half put at ease by these words.

   “Fine with loud noises and all? You know kids,” Noki laughed, still with at least half of her nerves still prickling.

   “Alma says that some wynglings might be scared cuz I talk so loud,” Xanthe chirped cheerfully. Kanna's reply came promptly, with a little grin;

   “Im not scared cuz you're my friend,” Xanthes tail began to wag furiously and she giggled, hopping in place for just a single stride.

   “One hundred percent fine,” Lasso responded to Noki. “I tell ya, they've seen it all. They'll love ya forever if ya find any mites and get em gone.” She continued. Magnai, still scratching despite the feathers now being gone, thought that this was somewhat fickle. But, he supposed that they were just livestock anyway.

   Soon enough, the gentle giants would slowly come into view, lumbering about a spacious meadow, their heads bowed to graze.

   “They're even bigger in person,” Magnai mumbled to himself

   “Huge,” Noki gasped

   “Gigantic,” Kanna cried, putting on a burst of speed to race towards the fence.

   “Hugantic!” Xanthe declared, bounding after her friend, as usual, it took only a moment for her feet to skid out from under her. Tumbling head over heels, she was lucky to have plush grass to land upon, rolling her onto her front. Noki rushed forward, but Xanthe was already gone. “Oof,” was the cream wyngling’s only complaint as she pushed her frame up again, happy to bound on.

   “Yar such a worrier, I can tell that fer nothin, are any of them yours?” Noki shook her head soundlessly. “Hu, I reckon you'd make a good mum,” Lasso continued and Noki blushed slightly, a faint rose lifting to colour her cheeks.

   “Thanks,” Noki murmured

   “I don't av time fer all this nonsense, with all the kids bein dumped at Alma’s doorstep. I tell ya, call me old fashioned, but I think a kid oughta be with it's ma.”

   And off she went again.
