The Wing & Talon Enclave's makeshift aviary at the competition grounds was fairly active as Elua er Goltbred approached. What caught everyone's attention there wasn't *her* arrival, but rather how the four prized birds that were missing simply flew along behind her Skydancer without restraint or cage.
Guild attendants quickly rushed to inform their superiors while several handlers moved to intercept and gain control of the loose birds. Of course, they were dumbfounded when the creatures merely avoided their attempts while maintaining general proximity to the heiress.
"Is your Guild's master around, or is he out attending the team competition?"
"Ah? He should be… at the main pavilion. Though I'm sure he will be here soon."
