"Uh, I think it's the second one," said Bird, after puzzling over the syntax for a bit. "Remember when I fell off 'The Lonely Star' and almost drowned? That's when I became a dolphin for the first time. As for neekerbreeker:" here she glared at Mith, "When I was very little, I was playing in the forest where my foster father was tree-cutting. I got in the way as the tree was falling, and I just -well - changed. Neekerbreeker was my first." she said, with chin lifted high.
"And the crow?" asked Mith wearily
"Fell off a cliff." Bird thought for a minute, then mused. "I think the Ent-Wive was a landslide."
