"You don't need to keep looking up at the sky. I've ordered the guards to strike down anything they see flying above us," Xavier informed Selene.
"What if it is a bird?" Selene asked, hoping an innocent creature wouldn't get hurt.
"Then some wild animal that prefers meat will have a bird for dinner. Don't look at me like that. They choose the wrong time to be flying around. What bird is flying around at this hour unless it wants to cause trouble?" Xavier inquired.
Selene thought it over first. "A bird that just wants to get to its nest. You all have good vision not to mistake a bird for a bat. Please do not harm an innocent creature. Are we close?"
Selene looked around the area Xavier chose for them to enjoy their dinner. So far it was going well with no one in sight to interrupt them but the night was still young.
"Almost," Xavier said, holding her hand so she would stay near. "Why were you interested in the pond?"
