Luthias had spent most the day looking for shiny objects. He used the high sun as a reflector mid day, and was very successful on the beach. He had found two new gold chains and four silver ones; bits of mirror and iridescent shell, not that they were very valuable, but he didn't care for trading them anyway.
With his look clutched in his talons, and the sun beginning to set, Luthias made mental note of the area so that he may return tomorrow. He looked around suspiciously before beating his wings powerfully and taking off.
His closest treasure cache was about a thirty minute flight away, and the wind was against him. The conditions were not his most favorable, but his streamline physique could easily cut through the strong winds as long as he concentrated and stayed focused enough.
He would normally stay fairly hidden and fly (some times dangerously so) close to the bluffs and high trees. But the winds pushed him out farther into the open air. This made him a more uneasy than usual, but he reassured himself that he haddn't seen any soq in the area for days, and it was unlikely that someone would see him with his treasure.
