In her sleep, Itami was writhing and twitching, her wings spread out and beating the air and stones with enough force to break bones. Hearing, and feeling, Dianca calling her back to reality, her eyes snapped open, the crane spirit looking around as if she expected to be attacked. Blinking quickly, her beak was slightly open, and Itami's sides were heaving, her entire body shaking with fear and with the pulse of adrenaline. Folding her now-feathered wings to her sides, she shivered on the stone floor, and placed her head against Dianca's shoulder as she tried to get the room to stop spinning.
After a moment, Itami opened her eyes again, taking deep and shaking breaths in an attempt to calm herself down. Turning her head so that she could look the priestess in the eye, she clacked her beak in apology, then bowed her head.
