Don't Eat That!

The woman would turn her attention away from Korrin, a light smile touching her features. Her sapphire eyes rested instead on the frightened bird, who was now fluttering to his feet and cautiously checking his wings for injuries. Watching the delicate creature made her smile even more. He really was a magnificent bird. Svetlana would come to stand beside the snowy maiden, her little pup nose prodding at the bird. It would hop away a bit, its eyes wide with shock. But the young heir spoke soothing words, complimenting the creature on his dashing looks. Could it be that a smile appeared on that dark beak? "I'll be fine, miss. I'm just a little shaken up from the whole thing..." Soft tenor chords would bring a jolt of surprise to Adelaide. He spoke with the tongue of a wolf, save for a bit of an accent that belonged to the birds.

"How interesting..." she commented, sinking to her belly at his side. She lowered her face to his level and held a steady smile, being gentle and calm as to give confidence to the small blue bird. "Where did you learn to speak like that?"

The tiny male would blink at the woman before hopping a bit closer again. Besides a bit of bruising in his wings, he felt alright. Nothing he couldn't recover from, fortunately. He managed another shy smile. This snowy wolf seemed very kind, as did the young pup. "One can learn many things if one pays close attention. I taught myself how to speak your tongue, with a little help from some other foreign creatures." He would shake his feathers lightly, releasing any dust that had gathered there during his attack. "My name is Elijah. What may I call the two of you?"

Adelaide would tip her head slightly, genuinely interested in what Elijah had to say. His accuracy was incredible, considering it was his second language. Then she returned her attention in order to introduce herself, pausing to let Svetlana go first. When the pup had given her name, she would speak up. "Nice to meet you, Elijah. My name is Adelaide."
