Pheo saw her slight startled reaction. Rather relieved when she didn't let the scowling man know she had heard him. He wondered if she knew what he was. If she didn't he would have to learn to trust her more to tell her. He didn't wish to become a side show. He looks at her with studying eyes. He was giving her trust by not succumbing himself to ashes like he was able to do. Plus it was too risky to tell or show such information. He paused for a moment.<span style="font-style: italic">I can do many things fair princess. I cannot tell you anything more than you have never met or seen a bird like me. I am an extremely rare type of bird.</span>He cried out as the arrow came out. A drawn out cry that faded when the annoying pointy object was removed from his wing.<br/><br/>He felt relief when she again kept the fact he flickered into a human form a secret.<span style="font-style: italic">Maybe you should look into mythology fair princess. It has some interesting information held within the secret tales of the stories in those books.</span>He said as he gave her a clue to what he was. He closed his eyes.<span style="font-style: italic">Keep me with you fair princess. I fear what will happen if not kept by someone who I can trust to some extent.</span>He added. Nudging her hand lightly and weakly as she spoke. Closing his eyes.<span style="font-style: italic">Yes. I need rest. I shall heal soon enough but don't trust your grumpy companion.</span>He lay his head on her arm. Just resting as he felt them begin to move. He was giving her more trust than he had given a human in a very long time.
