Auni's arrival stirred the sleeping gryphlet awake, and she reep!ed a joyful greeting as she bounded over to pounce on the much larger luxere, determined to bowl her friend over (however physically impossible it was). It was the effort that mattered, after all, not the result! And she was very happy to see him again, when their human companions were not so sad and full of pain.
Not at all! The gray raven assured his friend, taking wing to flutter over to his much larger avian ally, blue eyes glinting wicked mischief as the falcon in the tree shifted her claws uneasily at the appearance of the much larger bird. With things as they are, well... this Trials business might be a good way to test ourselves and blow off some steam, he admitted, fluffing his feathers up in uneasy reminder of the dark times that they had recently endured, and were still enduring. I've carried and dropped things in this feathered form before, but I've never really tried to fight in it. Do you think we could try some aerial combat practice today? he asked hopefully. Hopefully we won't need it but... just in case we do... well, I'd rather practice with a friend than find myself facing an enemy unprepared.
