loren
Loren felt triumph bubble up within him as his wild leap managed to actually take the bird down. Although the ningo pecked and battered at him, his thick fur and loose skin protected him from the worst of the damage. His jaws closed around its neck, and its frantic attempts to escape redoubled.
However, Jigano’s words caused the summoner to glance up. He snarled at the bard, which sound comical through the bird in the Launceleyn’s mouth. As soon as the snarl left his lips, though, he realized how crazy it was. Sending a pulse of apology to the white-haired, Loren wrestled down his instincts. It wasn't easy with the ningo in his mouth, but he managed. Fine. You're right. Let's return it, see if we can get some goodwill.
The bird still struggled, but he held it firm. Honestly it wasn't too badly damaged. Just some deep teeth marks from his initial bite, and some gashes from when he'd clawed it to the ground. Okay, maybe it was a little badly damaged. You might wanna heal it first. There was a slight amount of chagrined embarrassment in his mind, but that was it.

Never judge a book by its cover.
