He'd admit that, compared to the other creatures of Sky's pen, he wasn't the most trustworthy, but he still had some loyalty in him...it was just buried deep inside him. A throaty growl escaped his throat as he listened to Gerik's words.
"Yes!" He shouted, keeping all eyes on the now hovering bird. "Maybe it is for someone like me!"
Actually, that wasn't the whole truth. It wasn't the thought of having help on such a simple task that rubbed him the wrong way, but more of the thought of he'd been sent a babysitter! Maybe Gerik was there to help now, but he had essentially been intended to keep an eye on him.
'This is insulting! How dare she...' He sighed angrily, but decided it best not to terminate his 'helper'. His body relaxed slightly as he began to calm down...some. He shot Gerik an evil glare before taking to the sky himself. He was going to head back to coast where, hopefully, he could snag a Palmie and be done with this. He just wanted this day over.
