The group didn't seem to mind Trey joining them. It seemed like most of them had never seen an Ave before, which was understandable, since they usually don't live in forested areas like this. The Kobold clearly had no idea what an Ave was, and it seemed like the fish had heard about them, but had never actually seen one in person before now.
"I'd prefer that you don't call me 'it'." Trey said to the fish. "It kind of makes it seem like you see me as an animal or something. Know what I mean?"

 Trey flew overhead, following the group to wherever they were going. They eventually arrived at a village that happened nearby, and went to a blacksmith, who appeared to have weapons waiting for them. There was nothing there that would be useful to him. He was much better with magic than he would ever be with any melee weapon.
