Quote:

it had been a spur of the moment decision to go out hunting for loa items. L'envoi wasn't usually a lion to have direct contact with the spirits. It was strange what boredom could do to a lion. He grinned to himself. The black male easily followed after a lioness. She had said she knew a good spot to look for things for the loa. He was willing to go along with it.
"What do you think you'll get?" he asked turning a blue eye toward the bird riding on his back. The way she had readily agreed to this hinted she might have that in mind. Or she was as bored as the rest of them.
The yellow bird looked up from her careful scruteny of the area. "Don't know yet. Will when I see it. Are we almost there Fleur?" She hadn't really seen anything that caught her, or would catch the eye of a spirit so far. It hadn't hurt to keep her eyes open anyhow. Now she was eager to get where they were going. Surely she'd find something there.
