Alina tilted her head to one side at the stranger's words. "What do you mean, stolen? Where are your woods now?" There wasn't a trace of sympathy in her voice, but some of the aggression had fled her posture. Still, her brow was furrowed as she tried to puzzle her way through his statements.
Blinking at the man's clarification, she glanced over her shoulder. "With my wings?" They flapped behind her, holding her aloft and mostly in place. Glancing back at him, she shrugged. "My kind are gifted with flight, though we don't master it until adulthood."
Narrowing her eyes at him, she lowered her spear, though still gripped it. "Who are you, that you don't know this? And where did those spines come from?" She jerked her chin to try and indicate the things that had risen from his back.
