Work Text:
Mumbo's geese, Grian finds, are very territorial. He gets it, he himself (as a parrot hybrid) can be quite territorial himself without realising.
He wouldn't have minded if they decided to coop up anywhere else this season, but they just had to decide the perfect place would be Gem's bridge.
Ergo, he couldn't efficiently cross to the other side of the river without being chased down, and Gem couldn't continue moving her items to where she'd be building her mega-base for the season.

“Maybe we could lead them somewhere else?” Gem suggests. The pair had taken the day to try to find a solution to their problems, as it was now hindering their progress with the season.
Grian hums in response, partially lost in thought. “That could work, but how would we do that?”
“Well, what if we carefully capture them with leads and lead them far enough away? I haven't seen any eggs yet, if we lead them far enough away they won't have any reason to come back.”
Grian nods.
“Seems reasonable, let's give that a got.”

After a lot of running, from angry geese, they had managed to get every one on a lead, eventually managing to bring them down the stream, closer to the bridge Pearl had built.
“I think this should be far enough.” Gem murmurs.
Grian nods in agreement. “Now let's get out of here, I don't want to risk any more bites.”
“Okay, but one question… how exactly will we un-lead them without being bitten… again.” She asked.
Grian just groaned in despair.
