"You . . . you have a burning stick. You're going to carry a burning stick! It's . . . you're taking Fire . . ." She stops and shakes her head. Taking a deep breath. "Okay. Okay. You know what you're doing. I . . . I'll come with you. He might not come if you call."
"It's about time!" The tiny voice of the bird says from higher in the cave. "I could have been eaten! He could have eaten me and you wouldn't have even noticed!"
Startled, Lihi looks around until she spots her friend. "Speck, you stop that right now! Nostalion has been a very proper host. He's given us warm shelter and food and he's going to be traveling with us. He's not a brigand. And you worried me!"
The little bird humphs and buzzed down from the small rock ledge he had been perched upon. He gets as close to Nostalion as he is comfortable, given the stallion has a torch, and looks him in the eyes. Another humph. "Well . . . okay. He's not a brigand. But he could have been!" And then he goes back to the little ledge and tucks his head under his wing.
Lihi looks properly aghast at the bird for a moment before turning to Nostalion. "I am so sorry. Really. He has a good heart, just . . . he's very suspicious." She takes a few steps closer, enough softly nuzzle him on the neck, "Thank you so much for being willing to go back out in the cold and dark to find him." Then, realizing she had gotten so close, she quickly moves away.
