A look of shock flickered across his face as she mentioned the bird fought with her. He bobbed his head at her demand for respect, though he still wasn’t sure how to do that…for a bird. Instead, he shifted slightly to the side, leaning forward a bit to get a better look at her bird. Ears pricked forward as sharp eyes took in the sight of the proud falcon, noting how he gripped her shoulder without digging into her flesh as he squawked and bobbed his head in agreement with her words. As she mentioned no harm done he smiled slightly, glad that his behavior wasn’t taken offensively. A wounded ego could be mended. He nodded slightly; he wasn’t surprised that she hadn’t heard of his home. It seemed not many of this land knew of the dwarfs and their culture. “I seen some here.” He gestured around them, “most are birds. Why?” He asked, curious as to why they chose feathered pets instead of well…anything else. His head cocked to the side as she offered a quick bow to him in greeting, ears slanting back slightly at the sight as he listened to her words. After a moment’s pause, he lifted a paw and bent his other limb at the elbow, an interesting form of a bow, but one he was more familiar and comfortable with. “Gamut sanu yenet Heloise, I’m Thoren Ahlberg.” Thick accent rolled off his tongue as he spoke his native tongue. “Well met.” He translated, as an after thought. "this is speech." |
