Flax sighed as he sat perched on the walltop, his huge talons holding him in place. His gigantic honey-coloured eyes sparkling as he gazed, captivated, up at the clouds. Most creasture would never think of him as the kind to cloud-gaze, but, he loved it. He unfolded his giant, broad wings, spanning two and a half times the length of his body fully extended, with their tips rounded for manueverability. He flapped for a few moments, lettign a breeze catch and ruffle his pinion feathers before folding them against his meter-long body once more.

Linx walked parallel to the battlements, slowly approaching Flax from some distance away. At roughly five feet he stopped and just watched for... A while. Then he decided to speak. "Hey..."

Flax started slightly, almost flling from atop the battlements. "Ahk! Why Joo snek op like dat?" the gigantic bird questioned as he straightned his feathers. He hated being suprised, and it bothered him greatly when a creature was able to get so close without him realizing it.

Fortunately for Linx, he had some skill at hearing through accents. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you... OK, creeping up to just behind you then speaking isn't a great way to avoid doing that, but still, that wasn't what I was trying to do."

"Nice to meet you, Flax, my name is Linx. Haven't seen any birds about here for a while..." Linx would have shook paws then but there was no paw to shake.

"So I hauve notieced..." he said in his thick accent, the short "i" sound becoming a long "e". He held out a taloned foot to shake. "Iet is nice to met joo, Linx..."

Linx was glad he was wearing leather gloves as he accepted the gesture with his paw. "Thanks a lot."

"Joo are welcoame..." he said then looked over his company. It was a mouse. Probably around twenty seasons, with brown fur. He couldn't help but think of how large he apeared next to the normal creatures here.

Linx didn't have to stop to make a visual diagnosis of this eagle. Its features were striking enough. "Where are you from?"

OOC: Assuming there's actually an Africa in the Redwalliverse, that'd be, like, forever and a half to the south.
BIC: "A desert... That'd be really far away from here. I'm guessing to the south?"
