Dragoncrest Cliffs Leap of faith

The Bandrona blinked rapidly when the bird spoke to her in the common tongue of beasts. She wasn't exactly surprised—birds were supposedly very intelligent, particularly ravens and their closest ilk—but she couldn't remember if she'd ever conversed with one. She vaguely recalled trying to befriend an owl in her youth and she felt like there were other instances she was simply forgetting due to the passage of time. That she was old enough to experience a rolling blackout from her earliest months sort of stumped her right then.

Then Wildfire remembered that the bird had spoken and what it (she?) had said. "Um... yes?" she called back, inching closer. The magpie did not seem in the least afraid, though she approached cautiously all the same. She wondered if she should introduce herself but it seemed sort of weird. She was still getting used to the idea of conversing with an entity outside of her own species.
