[PQ+] feathers and fractures

So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up

Back in the air, Soh pumped her wings to keep afloat in the warm thermals beneath Stormbreak. With it being harder than usual to fly, it took up more of her concentration to remain airborne. She might have cautioned Everest against going ahead alone, but by the time she though to call him back, he had already scouted ahead. She peered after him, keen eyes finding the movement that he had seen from afar. It did indeed look like a flying carpet, and she tilted her head to one side in confusion. What in Caido was a carpet doing flying about the Grotto?

Of course, as she drew closer and noted the treasure chest, it became apparent: they'd run into a smuggler. And while the smuggler might not have thought twice about a single eagle, it was entirely likely that they would notice a snowy owl and a Galah cockatoo floating around where they shouldn't be. Be careful she called through the bond. If he sees Lena and I, he might be suspicious.

Soh follows Ever and advises caution.

Maybe I'll see you in another life
If this one wasn't enough
