Ering'a gripped his sword ever tighter as he heard something. The swish of wings, perhaps, and the crunch of leaves. He wouldn't have been able to hear it if it hadn't been close. He was no Barn Owl, and his ears were only average, so he was quite surprised that he heard these things. He used his stiff tail to launch him off of the branch, bringing his blade to a ready position. If this was a Kingdom bird, it would regret coming near him. He alighted in a tree near the sound's source, and spotted two very large birds. Not only that; they were birds of prey.
Ering'a stiffened, setting his sword down. Something told him that these were not Kingdom birds. They had a rugged aura about them; perhaps they were outcast, like himself. The woodpecker Waited a few seconds, turning over ideas in his head until he came up with one that just might work. He would be interrupting their conversation, but it wouldn't matter that much, now would it? Words of introduction were pointless...
That would make him a hypocrite. He put a lot of leverage on his introductions. Ering'a shouldn't have thought that way... he fluttered out of the tree and landed a few feet to the left of the larger birds, just the distance that he could easily escape from if they seemed hostile. He swept one wing outward and bobbed his head, in a kind of mock bow. "Greetings, preying birds. I apologize for inturrupting your conversation, but I couldn't help but suspect that you two are not Kingdom birds?" It was a formal sentence, ending in the lilt of a question. His bright eyes looked intelligently at the others.
(Sorry about the wall of words XD)
