"Well, feather my nest and call me plucked! Eyeing the neighbor, huh? Wanna migrate to her branch?" ruffles her feathers indignantly.
I'm just looking, I swear! She's the one who approached me first!
"Oh, you think she's gonna steal you away from me, huh? Well, let me show you what a real bird can do!" spreads her wings wide and stomps towards Jacob
Let's talk it out, sylvia.
grabs Jacob by the collar, pulling him close Talk? Oh no, honey, this ain't gonna end in a chat. smirks
tightens her grip on Jacob's collar I mean, sweetheart, that I'm not letting you out of this nest without a fight. leans in close
releases Jacob's collar, but keeps a firm stance Alright then, if you think you can just waltz into my territory, you've got another thing coming.
i'm not trying to get into your territory, sylvia. i'm just saying, we should be friends with the other birds. not enemies.
narrows her eyes Friends with the other birds, huh? crosses her arms Look, Jacob, I've seen enough betrayal in my life to know that friendships are nothing but fleeting pleasures. snorts
betrayal? I'm not betraying you, sylvia. i'm just saying we shouldn't fight over the other birds. they're our neighbors, not our enemies.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, Jacob, you really are naive, aren't you? You think just because they're our neighbors, they're harmless?
well, most of them are harmless...
snorts Most of them? You've got some nerve, Jacob.
leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I mean, like that sneaky little sparrow who's always snooping around my nest.
he's just curious, sylvia. he doesn't mean any harm.
As Jacob tries to defend the sparrow, Sylvia slaps him across the face
glares at Jacob, her eyes flashing with anger That was for being a bloody hypocrite, Jacob!
i'm not a hypocrite, sylvia. i'm just saying we should be nicer to the other birds. is that so wrong?
throws her head back and cackles Oh, Jacob, you really are a piece of work, aren't you? paces back and forth
