Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies

To her credit, she actually would like to learn about being stealthy. She's clever, but she's not quiet. This fact is entirely by choice, of course. She could be quiet, but that's no fun, so she never bothers with it. But there's something to be said for the ability to sneak around unnoticed. Why do you think she enjoys being a raven so much? No one pays any mind to the birds quietly hanging out in the trees. She looks plain and simple and like every other raven. Not a silver dragon or a gold dragon or a giant warg or whatever else horses in Helovia turn into. She's a bird. A really unassuming, boring ass bird. It's great.

But she can't always be a bird. Sometimes she needs to know how to move in quietly as a horse, too.

Riykn starts talking, and Weaver makes her way back over so she can listen. Shee debates perching on Rikyn's back, but she suspects that won't go over well, so she just circles around above them in lazy circles, not yet in the mood to play at being a horse again. He explains the beginnings of Kaos, a story she's gotten in fits and starts. She'd been here for the end of it. Well, the pause. It's sort of on pause.

And then he decides to steal the mermaids stuff. Yea okay, go back for a sec. There's a freaking mermaid that looks like a candy bar dusted in some sparkling pastel colors. She definitely looks good enough to eat. But she's minding her business and what use do any of us possibly have for a comb or a sea shell? I can go make that shit myself. But of course, Weaver has always been reckless and stupid, and Rikyn has just provided a game.

Do you really think she's not going to play.

She pulls at Raven through their bond, and he already knows what's up without her having to try and explain it through awkward emotions. They've been together long enough, in this life or the last one. He tries to dart in front of the mermaid, pretending to swipe at the comb. He's not going to steal it though, and he's careful to stay far enough away from her that he's not in any real danger. In the end, he's just a distraction. As Raven tries to pull her attention away, Weaver goes in for the shell, trying to grab it with outstretched talons and then get the hell out of there before pretty mermaid turned into a monster. Because pretty mermaid was definitely wearing a disguise. They always are.

[Weaver is dumb and tries to grab the shell while in raven form as Raven tries to distract the mermaid.]
