A white fox joined the assembled group of animals and Rance was beginning to suspect that there was something less ‘natural’ about what he’d flown in on. When the fox spoke, shock puffed up his feathers and he nearly lost his balance. All right, definitely not normal beasts. Which was, of course, when the fox looked up at him and spoke directly to him. The fuck?! He cursed, letting out a raucous caw at the same time. A caw he silenced when an obviously magical creature landed near him. He might have felt safe from the ground predators, but a winged one was another matter entirely. At least it didn’t seem to be looking at him as prey?
The spotted cat addressed him as well, seemingly mistaking him for someone else. Rance’s wings settled, but his feathers remained ruffled. I -- no, was his clipped answer, surprise and confusion turning to brief agitation. He was one of the Hidden, dammit, or had been before his forced relocation. Other shifters – Attuned? – shouldn’t have shocked him so much.
The bear – Deimos -- then mentioned his intention to go hunting and brought up introductions which seemed to mean it was an… open invitation? Feathers had finally begun to settle when a bat fluttered down and shifted into a large, black cat – the Sunjata he’d been mistaken for – causing the ones around his neck to fluff up all over again. So, they definitely were like him, then. Or he was like them, since he wasn’t bettering on any of them being as new to this mess as he was.
Oliver and Jigano introduced themselves and then the attention was all on the raven. He looked away, feigning calm as he preened a few feathers back into place. Rance. Hey. He turned his head back to the group below, clacking his beak once.
