Markus kept happily climbing around and singing his songs. But he got hungry some time, not having eaten anything all day. He hadn’t gotten anything.
Looking to the ground, he couldn’t spot anything alive. He supposed they were on Joshua’s property, and there wouldn’t be any mice running around. He hadn’t see any squirrels either.

He did see Joshua though. So he jumped from the tree and glided down, no uplifting wind picking him up thankfully. He landed right on the book, and chirped at Joshua, jumping up and down.
“Master! Master! Wakey wakey!”, he chirped. He had heard earlier the other calling Joshua master, and since he had no concept of names, that must be his!
