but now it is a competition of whichever is heavier:
my will, or the pull of gravity into the grave

I’m sure you would have, she agrees smoothly, any doubts or amusement locked away perfectly where the woman cannot sense them. Ravens simply did not have the same damaging force as falcons, but Ru cannot begrudge her wounded pride. She would feel much the same, in the other woman’s…feathers. The interest is curious, though Ru assumes she’s a Natural then. They were the only ones who seemed to be wary of magic. Yes. Frey Attuned me, but I was Abandoned when I arrived. She’s not ashamed of her designation, blasé about the revelation and ensuing distrust.
Shrugging a feathered shoulder in a distinctly human motion that the other may not even see through the brambles, the Valkyrie lets it roll off her back. As you wish, though you didn’t look any different from an evening meal from above. It wasn’t my intention. Though she is more than welcome to hold her grudge. Hotaru would undoubtedly do the same, petty and manipulative as she is. Nodding her regal crown as the raven ascends - newly dubbed ‘P’, and isn’t that unfortunate - Hotaru regrets her bird form and how she cannot physically bite her tongue to withhold her laughter. Well, hrm, P it is then. What are you doing out this far? The only reason I was hunting is because there’s nobody for miles. It’s likely P will not take kindly to what could be perceived as prying, but what else is she supposed to do but make small talk if she cannot heal the other Attuned, nor depart so abruptly without seeming like an ass? Perhaps she could offer to cart the raven out of the Gambit on her shoulders as a mountain lion if the Attuned still needed the rest. Maybe the degradation of her attacker would improve P’s mood. But in the end, they merely rest and snipe at each other until P deems herself safe to fly, and they then depart.
