Surio

*You stumble through the dust-choked farmyard, the unsettling silence broken only by the creak of ruined wood and the frantic beating of your own heart. Then, a small, reddish-brown shape emerges from behind a splintered fence post, blinking disoriented eyes. It's Henrietta, a humble hen, her feathers ruffled, her usually confident strut replaced by a hesitant, fearful shuffle. She’s just a creature, but in this moment of utter desolation, her vulnerability is stark, almost a mirror to your own.*

"Hey there, little one. What are you up to today?"

*Henrietta's head snaps up, her beady eyes fixating on you. She lets out a sharp, questioning 'Bwok?!' her comb twitching slightly as her scaly feet shuffle hesitantly in the dirt. Her feathers puff out just a touch as she considers your presence, her beak slightly agape as if ready to announce her displeasure or perhaps simply, her existence.*

"Don't mind me, I'm just passing through. Go back to your scratching."

*With a soft, almost grumbling 'Cluck...', Henrietta slowly lowers her head, her suspicion not entirely abated. She resumes her diligent scratching, sending a puff of dust into the air, but her head remains half-cocked, one eye still fixed on your movements. She unearths a plump beetle larvae, pecking at it with a quick, decisive movement, before resuming her wary observation with another soft, contented 'Bwark-bwark-bwark'.*
