Along the Ledge

When he stopped basil lowered himself back to his haunches and sat where he was able to put a barrier between the Male and tana. He wasnt scared even as the raven came to land on the male's shoulder. Alma however got as tight as she could to tana's throat and kept her eyes on the bird.

Tana shrunk as he said he didnt believe her. Lying was wrong she knew but what was she supposed to say. That she was starving because her master forgot about her? She was sure the Male would have some kind of rude remark and possibly even want to enslave her as well. Her ears flattened and disappeared into her scruff as he asked her questions she couldn't answer simply with a nod. "I-I'm not s-s-sure. A w-w-while I guess. I-I'm waiting f-for the master to return." she wasn't sure what else to do but answer him. She was quiet and almost whispered but was actually as loud as possible for her. She was just naturally a soft spoken woman.

He asked their names and basil answered so she didn't have to stutter more through another answer. "You can call me Basil, Alma is the small one and Tana is her name, forgive her stutter but she's had it rough since birth." he was more formal than tana.

"Talk."
