The two Diamond Parrots were scared out of their wits by Suming, flapping their wings so vigorously they leaped a good distance into the air, huddling head-to-head as they shook their heads and squawked at Suming incessantly.
"No! No!"
"Yameidie! Yameidie!"
"Just scaring you guys a little."
Suming chuckled, "If you don't want to be eaten, then go fetch some dry branches and kindling. I need to make a fire."
The two strong and robust parrots quickly dragged plenty of kindling from the woods, piling it up. Suming also cleared a space on the ground, took out a lighter, and ignited the campfire.
As a natural instinct, Huiya had an inherent fear of fire and huddled behind Suming, not daring to get close to the fire.
