The monk dismissed Herbert's aggravation with a wave and a smile "No need to appologize friend, it takes more than that to ruffle this monks feathers. This cold will take its toll on anyone if we're out here long enough." 

Dimitri smiled warmly as the small female drew up on him. He had thought she just looked small because of the distance between them but evidently, he was wrong. No real suprise there. "Well you're a tiny thing aren't you?" he commented as he extended his hand introduced himself as Dimitri. Spareing Herbert the awkwardness of another introduction he pointed over towards thel older man "Thats Herbert over there"

The monks eyes narrowed as he noticed the feathers on the girl's back. He reached for one and gently tugged at it "Did you know that you have feathers stuck to you dear? how curious! Oh my, they are stuck on there good. Did you use glue?" he released the feathers with a  smile. If she wanted to pretend she was a bird that was ok with him he had seen and done far stranger things in his time.

He glanced back towards Herbert who was picking his way through the mess of the room and heading towards a flight of steps that lead down into a hopefully intact castle. "Listen" he said turning back to the girl "That room back there is a mess...blood and gore everywhere, but it seems the only way to shelter is down those steps Herebert is heading towards. I don't knwo about you, but I am growing quite weary from holding this dreadful cold at bay, so I'm heading that way too." He flicked his hed towards Herbert then continued "you're welcome to join us if you like. I'm sure there will be some kind of shelter below and maybe we can all figure out how to gt off this cursed mountain."
