- quit the bust above my door!
He couldn't agree more. Thus far he was lucky - not that he would ever admit it out loud - to have Loren and other attuned around to translate for him. But like this, or with his sister these days... silence was just the easier option.
Reading her note, Korbin's expression sobered, and he nodded slowly in agreement. Grazing at the lip with his teeth, he considered the girl, weighed his options. The odds were slim that his first thought would work, but...
Handing her the paper back without writing anything, Korbin took a step back, and shifted. His tall silhouette blurred and shrank, melted away into inky black feathers that shimmered in hues of blue and green under the wan sunlight. The raven beat its wings and circled Aisha, careful not to get so close that he would crowd her. Unsure whether she was comfortable around shifters. Or birds.
"I don't suppose you can hear me like this, can you?" he asked, his thought reaching out quite easily this time. Though he had little hope it would actually work.

Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."
"Nevermore."
