Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!

The thoughts reaching him elicited a pulse of surprise from the corvid. There was a sense of hesitation, a motion towards slamming up mental walls... but then, surprisingly, the youth actually relaxed.
"Do as you please." It was a repeat of the phrase he had used last time they were flying together, but somehow it came off rather differently. Less hostile, less cold... and the raven actually slowed a bit, to let the goose catch up.
For a time, there was only the rush of wind and the solitude of the landscape that flashed past beneath. Then: "Everything alright?"
It could almost be mistaken for conversation.

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