If I can startle it downward, perhaps you might grab it before it notices you. So long as you are not likewise easily agitated.
[ The barest hint of a joke lingers in her wake as she steps away to seemingly vanish where the nearest shadows invite her. The whisper that follows could be coming from anywhere, however, raw and jagged in an old language that weaves through the trees, and the momentary silence that follows is weighted.
