"Wha...?" Asher says, confusedly. He had been examining the underbrush, with Liberty in one hand and Equality in the other.
"Comrade," Rilaine whispers to him. "Comrade Asher, I think we are not alone here. Something feels...wrong, somehow."
Perched on Asher's shoulder, Quarion shifts around restlessy and opens his beak to let out a shrill screech. Asher quickly drops Equality and clamps his hand over the nervous hawk's beak before the bird can utter a sound.
"Comrade Rilaine," Asher says quietly, obviously trying to seem calm and collected. "I think you are right. Keep your weapon close at hand and keep silent ."
He picks up Equality again and follows the rest of the party, gesturing that Rilaine should follow his lead.
(OOC: Oh, and by the way, I vote to add another character.)
