HENRY
Henry takes to flying often. It's a release of sorts, something that helps him clear his mind and then recollect his thoughts. Since he's got nothing better to do right now, he's coasting along the oceanside. He enjoys testing his limits on these occasions, as well, and one of those tests is to see how close to the ground he can glide without touching it.
So he begins doing that, the damn idiot, eyes on the sand beneath him, and he's so wrapped up in himself that he doesn't even notice the woman walking in front of him. Well, he does, but it's almost too late at that point. Even if he dips out of the way in time, he goes crashing into a pile of loose sand, scattering it everywhere. Consequently, he gets covered by it.
There's a lot of disgruntled honking and squawking as he rights himself and shakes out his feathers to rid himself of the sand. He looks up at the red-haired lady that's probably laughing at him or staring in shock or, hell, maybe she completely ignored him! Either way, he offers her an apologetic snap of his beak. Boldly, curiously, he stomps over to her and cranes his head up at her.
Of course, he doesn't recognize her since she's in human form now, but she might recognize him.

I won't forget the life we've lived
