Blackbeak Bluff as you climb up hillside, forest and fen

Something flies up from the depths of the cliffside and onto the other guy, some big black bird and for a moment he thought the thing would gouge his eyes out or something and Elijah would have to sit here and think of either helping him against an avian foe - or flee from the winged beast and save himself from whatever disaster such a thing could bring on someone. 

Thankfully none of that occurred. They seemed to be close, partners even. Unusual, but not unheard of. The guy spots him and the two met for a moment, exchanging gazes, and almost immediately the other broke the silence in a friendly greeting. Friendly was good. With a delighted nod of his head, he approached a little closer. Hey to you too. That sounded lame, but he rolled with it regardless. Maybe Elijah could make lame look and sound good. 

The compliment made him smile. Thanks man, you too - red is uncommon and it looks good on you. They were bright too, demonic like some stories he had heard of demons and what-not possessing others to do some kind of evil deed. Freaky stuff. Eyes blood red to foreshadow the grim story ahead, but this guy didn't seem like one of those... it sure did make this exciting to think of though. 

No reason, wandering, trying to find a place to belong to. Or someone, whatever comes my way I suppose. Yeah that kind of explains it. What's with the bird? he nodded in the direction of the red-eyed guy's companion... vrahnaw?
