Skender listened to Lord Haklo and obeyed...because he was quite a powerful and beautiful human, and not doing so would be quite immoral to him. Sitting still on the human's shoulders, he was surprised when the human brought him to a tavern. Eagle-Skender ducked his head when they entered through the doorway. Gazing over at the tavern goers, then down at Haklo, then at the elf woman. Making a hiss of distaste, he hopped onto the counter when the barkeep laid out the plate with mutton, and let out a loud (and uncharacteristic meow) before tearing out a piece of meat and swallowing it down. The other person Haklo was staring at...dark robes, all over. Hard to tell whether human or non-human. So, Skender did his thing. Bobbing his bird head up and down, and tapping along on the bar counter in a sort of rhythm, he danced towards the heavily cloaked figure, letting out a chirp here or there...before landing on the elf woman's lap, and flailing around quite a bit, making quite a flapping-feather fuss. Of course, his talons and beak were new dulled since he wasn't trying to harm her. He came in with Lord Haklo, and doing something like harm a citizen would embarrass him greatly. And so, he kept on rolling and flailing on her lap.
