[ Saya flies low to the ground and closes her eyes as they hug the swells and dips of the hills (she can navigate fine, her echolocation lets her keep low with no risk of flying into anything). She doesn't hear anything, the eggs must not be close enough to hatching to have heartbeats, but she can hear the different echo from one pocket of underbrush perched on an outcropping that hovers over the water, the land beneath it worn away by wind and water erosion. She maneuvers in that direction. ]

Over there. Maybe we can just do a fly-by and you can snag the egg with telekinesis...?

[ That plan is immediately foiled when the firebird glares at them and screeches, leaving her meal where it fell. Apparently she'll get back to lunch after it kills whatever dares encroach on her nest. ]

[ Saya curls one wing so that it hides Hijikata from the firebird's view, then quickly dives toward another patch of shrubs. She "speaks" to Hijikata with telepathy, as she did with her doppelganger, so the firebird won't realize there's two of them. ]

< Hop off here, and stay hidden until I lure her away. Then grab the egg and call out to me with your mind when you're ready for me to pick you up. With any luck, she won't know you're there. >

[ Long before she's finished talking, Saya takes off flying again at her top speed, veering close to the nest to make it look like she's going for the eggs and to get the firebird's attention, then shooting straight up and swooping down on the firebird from above, deftly dodging fireballs as the firebird shrieks at her. Aiming to keep the bird looking skyward and not at the ground. ]
