tell the world I'm coming home

Her gaze was unwavering as she assessed his reaction. If he was a creature of similar mindset, a sea-wolf as some called her and her people, she would've see something in his expression change - but instead he simply looked curious. A bit puzzled, perhaps, but interested regardless. Her own features softened, her smile growing a touch more genuine. "You're probably right," Ambrosia quipped back easily, one corner of her mouth lifting slightly higher than the other as her amber eyes lit up with laughter. She'd met few wolves who had similar views, especially ones she found outside of the islands, so it didn't come to much of a surprise to her.
The world seemed to shift suddenly, though, before they had a moment to even introduce one another. One moment the day had been bright, and the next the sun seemed to be concealed entirely for a moment. Quickly she lifted her head, turning to observe the sun and the spectacle that lay before it. "What-" She muttered softly to herself, eyes widening as she watched the thing ebb and flow like a wave in the sky, clearly alive but like nothing living that she'd ever seen before.
It was hard to keep her focus, though, as she watched them dive toward the earth. "I can't say I've ever seen.. that.. before," Ambrosia admitted slowly, her words betraying her utter disbelief. Creatures with wings had never been something of much interest to her, but their general behavior, and god those sounds they made - well, it was obvious something was wrong with them. The woman's nose wrinkled in distaste, more than content to let Angelus be the one to observe them more closely. Slowly she moved to eye the birds, her gaze drifting over their strangely colored feathers before falling back to Angelus as he slipped closer to the group. "I wouldn't be so quick to-" Her words were cut off as one of the birds turned to stare at her with its bead eyes, barely hesitating before its cry grew louder, a wail higher than the others. Obviously distressed by her staring, it lunged at her face - angry claws aiming for her eyes, tattered wings flapping as it sought to grab hold of her.
