"It was only after I said it that I remembered your job and realised that I may have insulted your own skill at your job."<br/><br/>At that moment a small bird, its wings covered in silver feathers, flew almost straight across their path, not that Silver seemed to pay it the slightest attention and even Ariadne spared it only the slightest glance.
