Whisper's movements were guided by Yin's hasty exodus, and in silence the shrouded spectral kenku observed. He listened. Even his silence has a grave weight to it, which was perhaps aided by the unnerving realization he could- and would- mimic anything said nearby. The shadow of the creature drew Whisper's gaze about, and the kenku's movements were in a languid sort of lethargy as his companions conversed and readied themselves;

The bones creaked. The hands tightened. The robes shifted uneasily as the Kenku brought the heavy scythe up in its hands and raised the weapon back. Its ghostly form shifted, moving to the wall that Yin had chosen to hide behind, and prepared itself there; almost as if trying to physically shield the invisible girl from harm. Some part of Whisper's mind clicked its beak at himself; this act was a foolish one, he was no more tangible than a thought. His grip adjusted on the scythe's handles as he considered this, and steeled himself to protect the girl nontheless. He remained utterly silent, even as the time eventually came to swing the Scythe silently through the air in a motion that seemed as practiced as the most skilled farmer's own harvesting technique.
