Blackfeather Woods phoenix; you can't touch her without burning

This man is full of surprises.  "You can't speak?  That's okay."  She'd perhaps expected violence, but he'd rather try coaxing her to mouth her words instead.  She has experience exaggeratedly mouthing words for Towhee, and Wintersbane can likely see the gears turning in her head as she moves her face into the dim light.  Screech — Mou — was a Redhawk, once, she mouths, he attacked our alpha and killed her children.  One of the surviving might be permanently disabled.  

She had to compose herself.  Breathe in, breathe out.  We thought we had killed him.  Our best scouts threw him into the ocean and watched him drown.  But, obviously not.  She licks her lips and continues.  I got attacked recently and got dizzy, she mouths, leaving out the embarrassing part about the flowers, and that's the last thing I remember.
