Gwyn opened one crystal-blue eye, then stretched - almost cat-like except for the slight spread of his wings.  He was damp from the rain, since he'd spent the night within sight of the raised gangplank, but it wasn't as bad as some of the storms they'd weathered back in their previous home.  He'd even flown in worse, as long as there wasn't too much lightning.<br/><br/>He turned his thoughts to Tesla's question - not so much to understanding it, since 'city' and even 'fortify' were familiar concepts, but how to convey his preferences.  His experience with cities was limited - the people that had owned him before Tesla had brought him into one when he was handed over to Captain, but since then he'd had little reason to visit one.  Usually, he was left at the airship, especially once the rest of the crew had drifted away.  Here, however, he was a little reluctant to let Captain go alone.<br/><br/>On the other hand, there wasn't a whole lot more that they could do to fortify the quarry any further - it would be easy enough to keep watch, either from the deck or from the air, and the weapons they had at their disposal<em>should</em>make any intruder think twice after a warning shot.  Gwyn himself had scared away a brigand or five simply by standing on deck and yawning.<br/><br/>He nosed at the human's hand.  The important thing in his mind was that they not get separated.
