Quoted By:
<span class="mu-i">“Apologies, milord.”</span> You turn at Mikail’s polite tone before arrives before your conversation can continue much further, behind your squire Courageous Sky is perched comfortably on Jess the Kid’s shoulder. <span class="mu-i">“You did ask to be advised when we were in open waters.”</span>
You’ve observed that the animals have their favourites among the folk in your entourage. Hannibal tolerates Mikail for instance, while Lady Stoutsworth can oft be seen receiving a quiet pet from Brother Rousseau. But your Fae archer is the only one they all seem to take a liking to.
<span class="mu-i">“Ah, my noble winged companion.”</span> You hold out your own arm, glad to see your griffinhawk perk up at your voice. <span class="mu-i">“I have mission for you, of the utmost importance.”</span>
There is a sharp intelligence in that blink of his avian eyes, a pride in the ruffle of his pristine feathers as you explain his mission and attach the thin reed of paper in it’s carrier hold around the leg. Such a small thing, but of so much import. The Ordo Reginate will have their own roost their for such sensitive messages, and Courageous Sky should at least be aware of it. People do say they never forget a place they’ve been, nor how to get there. There is even word of them picking out individual faces in a crowd and delivering a message personally in front of shocked onlookers.
<span class="mu-i">“I can trust no other. It is a long journey, my feathered friend. But you are sired by the very majestic beasts bred for this. I know you will not fail.”</span> How much of your soothing words is understood by the Legatus Griffinhawk you know not, but all the stories say they have a way of singling out their destined recipient with a precision that is almost unseelie. You like to think he understands every word. <span class="mu-i">“This parcel is for Sir Robert Gilbern, he should still be at Port Bounty. That is the place by the sea, with the many houses and the big stone building on the cliffs with the flame burning night and day.”</span>
