sacrifice what you are for what you can become
The eagle floated through the air just above the buildings. A cool breeze swirled through the dark feathers of his crest. His golden eyes scanned the grounds for a particular place, one that was very familiar to him. Upon seeing the shape of the potter, he glided down to the ground several feet in front of him, to allow for proper room.
He tilted his body upwards as he closed in, using his wings to slow his descent. It took all of his effort to slow himself down (so that he would not have a repeat of the incident with Belril). Only he misjudged it, again, and his talons slammed against the ground gracelessly. He flapped his wings a few times to prevent himself from a painful faceplant.
And then he was Henry again, tall rather than long. He stood there with a grin on his face, feeling a little embarrassed by his landing skills once again. He took a few steps towards the man in the doorway, glancing down at the landshark by his feet, "Uh... sorry, it's faster to travel that way," he let out a breathy laugh, "I'm Henry. I came here to help with whatever you need, if you'll have me. You are the one who posted the notice, right?"
