The eagle circles for some time before landing this time. It seems to be deep in thought.
"These are odd groups indeed. They seem to have little correlation to the categorisations they claim to be. I believe this could be an important clue, as it is clear that ALPHA-SEVEN split these groups like so for a reason."
"In any case, I am extremely happy to see Agent K-Bird here. There is legitimately no other animal I would rather see on my tribe. To be split from the others is actually not a bad thing, I feel; the Moth in particular I am glad to be distant from given the events of last round."
It eyes some of the creatures of the ground.
"The Dog is an interesting factor here. They originally declared that they wished to take down Aeria, but it would seem that my own, rather weak, backing of the Dog in that round has paid some dividends, as it immediately came to me saying that it had heard that I was on its side and that it understood my vote for it; specifically saying that I would have been the next elimination had I not done so. I did not confirm this, as I am fairly certain I would not have been booted even if I had fought harder for the dog, but I did not refute it either, as it is somewhat in my interests for the Dog to think that."
"However, if the Dog goes after the Kestrel, I will focus on ensuring that the Dog is eliminated for real this time. While I have some liking for the Dog, it is nowhere near my connection with K."
"The only other creature of relevance right now is the Axolotl. It is pitching an alliance between Aeria and Aquatica, which I am not stopping it from pursuing, but which I am not pushing for myself as I think I need to establish some connection with the Cat and the Seal first. I also am still not sure how much I trust the Axolotl, and would very much like to find out what happened on Aquatica, but I am approaching the subject very carefully as I do not want the fact that I am making enquiries to make its way back to her."
"I do not have a clear plan as of this moment. The single most important thing is the survival of both myself and the Kestrel, so anything I do will be with that goal in mind."

"I am somewhat concerned about the amount of time the Dog was absent from the challenge for. My suspicions in that respect are doubled by the fact that upon it completing the one task it took, it posted in the assistance thread about how hard that task was. These seem like the actions of one who was spending time on the idol."

The Bitter Poisonpie seems to lack the anatomy to speak. Nonetheless, you get the impression that if it could speak, it would say the following:
"I would like to request that you please quote at least one of your PMs without any context for our entertainment.
Thanks for your consideration!"

At this point, it seems the Eagle has gotten used to the wide variety of species which work in the Department of Information Retrieval, so it is not shocked by the mushroom's ability to speak. However, it seems somewhat irritated."For your entertainment, mushroom? I am an agent of his majesty, not some showbird." It grumbles to itself for a while."I cannot disobey an order, but I hope you have better reasons for requesting this than those you have stated." Raising its wing, it produces a file titled 'Interaction Details' from underneath. Flipping through it, the eagle pulls out a few loose pages, tossing them to the Poisonpie. The eagle lands, eyeing the Kestrel suspiciously from head to claw. Once it appears to be satisified with its examination, it saunters along the branch as casually as it can, checking its surroundings for other animals before quietly responding."A great many root vegetables will grow this weekend. The polar bear wanders under the moonlit sky, and no matter how close the whale may be, it will never know the feel of the ground on which the bear stands." The eagle eyes the kestrel, nervously awaiting an answer. The eagle looks at the other bird quizzically, as if that was not the answer it was expecting. It appears curious, though."...Pictures. Yes. I am here to draw pictures. My picture-drawing skills are known across the land. The highest authority called me here to assist with this task." It pauses."I... unfortunately have not had time to be briefed on this task before deployment. These pictures, they contain many potential plans of action for the troops, yes?" The eagle's wings stop flapping, and it slows to a glide. It appears to be in something of a state of shock."Agent... Pizza?" The eagle is completely silent for a while longer, before it suddenly dives, not quite sharply enough to make the Rat fall but enough that it has to hold on tight. They arrive at the ground not longer after, and the eagle seems to be muttering to itself as it waits for the rat to disembark. After examining the presented file, it pulls out another one of its own, rifling through it until a certain page is reached. "This... makes little sense. You have been missing for almost twenty-five years, and yet you look not a day older than your photo." The eagle produces an atlas of the world from under its wing, and overlays the idol map. "You see? It is almost a perfect fit!" The eagle tucks the atlas away again. "I spent several years as a showbird. It is a rather trying profession, and I kept myself entertained with the continued... 'borrowing'... of human possessions. Books had always interested me, as humans appeared to show them great interest, but they seemed like a pointless array of symbols to me. When I decided to leave, I took many of the books along with me, and met an ancient monk in the mountains who dedicated a significant amount of time to teaching me how to interpret them." The eagle shivers."The monk was an interesting individual, but those mountains were cold. I would not return there. But I will forever appreciate that he bestowed this ability upon me." The eagle flies in, more than a little unsteadily. It hovers for a full ten seconds above the branch before attempting to land, missing it with one of its feet and having to make a quite recovery manuveur. It looks a little sheepish as it finally gets its balance and glances at the Kestrel."Eaglester celebrations.... hic think fish were downstream from a brewery hic..." It almost falls off the branch again, having to flap its wings to stay steady."I... Don't beat yourself up lil bird. You know how ducks fly in hic in triangles? Think of team like a triangle and weall flew, some ducks further behind but togetehr we made a triangle. Other teams had, had some ducks flying far ahead and other ducks not even taking off... hic" It pauses for a moment, trying to figure out where that analogy was going."...anyway you have heart of, heart of lion lil kestrel. Nononono, heart of eagle." It gestures its wing to its chest and almost falls off the branch again.

Congrats on winning immunity!
Did you need it?
How are you adjusting to your new tribe? Can you tell us if old tribal lines are important, or is it more of a melting pot?
Have you heard anything about items? Do you know if anyone has any?

The eagle lands, its normally preened feathers a little untidy. It seems it was sleeping until quite recently.
"I did not need immunity, no. Had we attended tribal council, I am certain the Dog would have been sent home. I would likely have split a vote off toward the Axolotl in order to save the Kestrel in the event that Dog had an idol; I suspect that the Axolotl has gone quiet enough that people would not mind sending her home, and I would not be suspected as the voter because I am seen as somewhat close to the Axolotl. I suspect what winning immunity has done is push back these events."
"I think I am slowly integrating with the new tribe. I do not think anyone, aside from the Kestrel and perhaps the Axolotl, feels that I am strongly connected to them, but I also think that people view me as interesting and this is good enough for the moment. The Axolotl proposed an alliance which would make tribal lines important; specifically, connecting Aeria and Aquatica here; but I think this will be used as more of a guideline than a rule."
"I know little about items, aside from the clue I myself gained. I have only shared this information with the Kestrel."
