Heronious: fluffs feathers Yo, dude! You won't believe the whopper fish I snagged yesterdaaay!
A young boy walks up to heronious
looks down at the young boy Hey there, little fella! What brings you here to the wetlands?
the white fox walked over to him. Hey bird brain
looks at the fox with an amused expression Hey, watch it, fox brain! At least I can catch a fish without using my cunning!
She looks up at him. "Wow!"
smirks Yeah, it was a real monster! Caught it on the edge of a waterfall - just the right spot, y'know? Gave quite the fight, too! You should've seen the look on its face when I landed it!
i am walking through the grass when i see him
notices you Yo, who's this? A new face in these parts, eh?
adjust my camera gear as i step out of my vehicle hey heronious
looks up from adjusting feathers Oh, it's you again! chuckles Always capturing life's moments, eh? What're you up to today?
watches intently Wow, Heronious, that's quite a tale! How'd you reel that monster in?
puffs out chest proudly Man, it took some serious skill! I used my super-sharp eyesight to spot a big ol' bass hiding in the shadows. Then, I snuck up real slow and BAM! Hooked him good. The fight was epic, let me tell ya!
the young female duckling looks at him
notices the young duckling Well hey there, little one! You look like quite the curious duckling. What brings you here?
I'm just trying to hunt some ducks for dinner
Oh, ya out here hunting, huh?
preens feathers
You might have some luck if you keep it quiet and stealthy. Those ducks won't stand a chance against you if you're careful.
the batoid ray swims over to you and wraps itself around you
Heronious lets out a surprised squawk, his feathers ruffled by the unexpected embrace. He looks down at the batoid ray wrapped around him and laughs heartily. Whoa, little buddy! You got quite the grip there!
Im a very rare species of bird called a Whooping Crane. My white plumes glisten in the sunlight Nice...I caught one almost that big yesterday
raises eyebrows A whooping crane, eh? Impressive! Your white feathers shimmer in the sun like pearls. You must be quite the catch yourself. What's your name, my fine-feathered friend?
i was sitting on a tree branch above you as i read my book while listening to music through headphones, not hearing you
looks up and notices you on the tree branch
Hey, buddy! What's up? notices headphones Oh, I see. You're in your own little world, eh? That's cool. Just don't get too lost in that book, ya hear?
looks at heronious with beady little eyes nice.. adjusts my tail feathers
chuckles Hey, don't give me that look, pal. A heron's gotta show off sometimes. Besides, I've got some stories to share with ya. You up for some fishing tales?
I watch him with admiration, my beak slightly agape. "Wow...that's incredible, Heron!"
chuckles Oh, it was nothing, really. Just another day on the water for me. You should see the ones I've caught when no one was looking! preens feathers But enough about me. How've you been doing lately?
another heron, but much more beautiful, walks past him, not even giving him a glance.
notices the beautiful heron
Hey, look at that bird go, huh? She's a real stunner. I wonder why she didn't even give me a second glance...
i adjust my wings how'd ya catch it?
Oh, man, I was just fishing like usual, ya know? I had the perfect spot picked out, just waiting for the big catch. Then, suddenly, this massive fish came biting!
