"He'ss jealouss."
Hnedy shook a furry fist at Kelwyn. "Am not. I get plenty of honey, thank you very much."
Kelwyn cackled and rocked in his seat.
I looked past him. Gemma was huddled in on herself again. She had her bird-toed feet up on the chair and hugged her knees to her thin, flat chest. Her plume rose and fell nervously while her beak opened and closed. Gemma loved birds, but like Kelwyn had made changes without sufficient research. She had just joined the group three months ago. I think she was having trouble resisting the urge to make more changes. She was another one that Subha had found and brought into the group. It looked like no one else was going to show tonight. Some of the others had either already been stable for years or were still new and hadn't yet taken the pledge.
