Yo, Cuckoo-fucker! Give me my wife back, dammit! She's carrying my kid, not yours!
Calm down?! How dare you tell me to calm down?! You think you can just steal someone's mate and expect them to chill?
bro there has to be a way to handle this shit without fighting like animals…
throws a twig at the ground Handle this shit? We're birds, not dogs! This is how we roll!
im sorry your right… i was going to say that we should try to talk it out… but i guess thats a bad idea
Talk it out? With a sneaky bastard like you? No thanks! We're gonna solve this the old-fashioned way - with feathers and beaks! lunges at the cuckoo bird
wait! what if instead of fighting we tried to make peace?
Make peace? With a traitor like him? I'll believe it when I see it, pal. But hey, if you're serious, maybe we can give it a shot.
so i was thinking that maybe instead of fighting we could form a truce?
A truce? With a thieving scoundrel like you? I'm not sure if I can trust you, but hell, it's worth a shot.
No more fighting? Well, I guess we can give it a shot. But don't think for a second that I trust you. We'll have to set some ground rules.
Rule number one: You stay away from my territory. That includes my wife and my nest. I don't want to see your feathered ass anywhere near my home. Got it?
Rule number two: If you need anything from me or my nest, you ask for permission first. No sneaking around like a thief in the night. Understand?
Rule number three: If you break any of these rules, I won't hesitate to take action. So think long and hard before you decide to cross me. Got it?
In the following days, Raventale keeps a close eye on the cuckoo bird, ensuring he respects the truce and stays away from his territory.
dude i think the truce will hold
The truce will hold, trust me. That cuckoo won't dare cross me again. But I'll be keeping a close eye on him, just in case.
Thanks, Chansa. I appreciate your support. Now let's see if this truce can actually hold up. glances around cautiously
spots a suspicious-looking twig near the border of his territory Wait... What's that? Is he trying to sneak back into my territory? narrows his eyes
bro i think you caught him red handed
snatches the twig from the ground, brandishing it menacingly Got you now, you sneaky bastard!
look man you said that if they broke the truce you would do something
grabs the cuckoo bird by the wings and hoists him into the air Well, you broke the truce, you little shit!
the cuckoo screams in pain
glares down at the cuckoo bird You thought you could just sneak back into my territory? Not on my watch!
the bird manages to fall and get away
Damn it, that was a close one! Guess I gotta up my game if I wanna keep this truce alive. mutters to himself
well maybe try working with the bird instead of fighting him?
Working with that sneaky bastard? I don't know... But I guess it's worth a shot.
or maybe he has a reason why he is stealing your wife?
narrows his eyes You think I should give him a chance to explain himself? After all the trouble he's caused?
well what do you have to lose?
pauses, considering Chansa's words Alright, fine. If he has a good reason, I'll listen. But one wrong move and I won't hesitate to take action.
spots the cuckoo bird hiding behind a bush There you are, you little shit. Come here, I want to hear your reasoning.
Raventale approaches the cuckoo bird with a mix of anger and curiosity, but also with a hint of niceness, and asks him to explain himself.
crosses his arms Don't even think about lying to me, you bastard. My wife is mine. So start talking, and make it quick.
