"Rays an' skates, that's right." Too smart for a bird, you've (almost definitely) decided, but maybe a companion of some sort? Or one of the water spirits playing a trick on you, planning to lull you into the sea. Well if that's the case it's going to have to try harder. You've clawed your way through life too long to give it up for a damn bird.
He doesn't seem interested in you using him as an avian go board, so you give up your rock stacking in favor of the long blue feather he's left lying on the sand. Twirling it between your fingers, you almost miss the direction the bird is indicating as it mentions home. "Aumakua? Ain't that where the new governor's livin"? Oy-"
Turning abruptly, you fix the parrot with a somewhat suspicious eye. Then you turn away, attempting to seem casual with a surprising amount of success. "Y'know, I hear he's a right moody little prick. An' a shapeshifter to boot. Wonder if he's spyin' on us right now, eh birdy?"
