Bandages. Heal, mend, fix. He gave the words, and Khida noted them, her focus remaining intent upon the man. She watched as he moved the bird into the cage, frowning, and gave that structure a long dark look. Tethers, bound wings, and cages... He offered to teach her more, and all the Kelvic could think was that she wouldn't want to be one of those hapless birds. At least with the tethers, the jesses, then if she wished to fly, she might yet make him let go -- but with the cage? That was another situation altogether. Khida took a step backwards, not quite consciously, keeping the cage at the edge of her vision and a watch on the Drykas' hands. His demeanor was friendly, certainly; he offered no threat. But the cage bothered her as had nothing else he'd done, and abruptly, she decided she had all that she needed. "No," the woman replied tersely. "The words are enough." Human manners would have said thank you; Khida didn't. She simply shifted in a blur of light, a peregrine falcon ascending into the sky in the woman's place, quickly putting distance between herself and all that the cage represented.

Witty Remark Here

Nice little thread. Short posts, but it worked with the dialouge, so I enjoyed it. Fox, if I could get you to go into a little bit more detail when you're doing falconry related thigns, like where you got the bandage, how you are holding the wing as you wrap it and such, I would appreciate it. Thanks guys! If you have any questions or concerns regarding your grade, please send me a PM and we can figure it out.
