Duff continued to chase about the birds, following them in their random course of sudden on-and-off flight, not paying attention to anything else including to where he was wandering. The birds glided to a land again and resumed their hoping about and pecking, Duff huffing now in an attempt to catch his breath. He had been chasing them for a while, and was beginning to feel the consequence of the activity. He stood where he was for a moment, regaining normal breath, and then squatted lower to the ground a bit and after a few seconds darted as fast as he could toward the birds. They twittered their bird sounds and flew away again, as they had before, and Duff laughed in delight and partial defeat as they did so, certain that he had nearly touched one of their wings. He turned in the direction the birds had gone, and was about to charge at their new gathering when he turned back, wanting to confirm what he thought he had seen. He had not been mistaken. A girl, probably around his age, with what he thought was very glossy and pristine hair, a neat little white outfit that he figured Euan would very much like, and a strange thing in her hands. He stood looking for a while, trying to think what the thing was, and was about to approach to find out when he heard some of the birds, who had hopped to a location within his view, twitter wildly and fly with determination toward the girl with hostile intentions likely triggered by the doll. |
