Come Gather 'Round People

Nelu held the basket carefully in his jaws, balancing the collection of items he'd found. It was an odd assortment of features, rocks, an antler, and other bits of things he'd just happen to decide were interesting enough he needed to ferret them back to the castle. Nelu was in the process of putting things away when he heard a call for fight training. He didn't recognize the voice but as it was a growing interest of his he opted to attend.

The flutter of wings caught his attention as Aster landed nearby. "Sounds like something for us, yea?" The blue-eyed raven titled his head in the usual stilted manner of birds. Nelu nodded. "Indeed, we should not keep our teacher waiting." He headed to the stairs as Aster took to the air. They both soon arrived to see two older girls awaiting them. They were seated across from each other and after a quick observation Nelu made a determination that the dark pelted girl was the teacher and the other was a student. He approached and dipped his head in greeting. "My name is Nelu and this is Aster. I'm here for the fighting lesson." He settled down as the raven hopped up beside him.
