When Wick had left the room, Katia giggled into her pillow. The poor girl was so tense, but the tabaxi hoped that she had helped change that. At Cesar’s remarks, Katia had shot a wink to her embarrassed friend, but spoke no words. Nothing needed to be added, and part of wisdom was learning when one should keep their thoughts silent. The fact that their gnome guide was correct about the birds was unsurprisingly, albeit disappointing. She still believed that taming the bird would have been mostly trivial, but with few others willing to consider such a course of action, it simply wasn’t worth it. Birbin’s early morning piping was enough to make Katia consider muzzling him, but befriending this abrasive annoyance would hopefully yield rewards beyond simply a place to stay, something they could easily have found on their own, and a tampering of any fun or strategy they could have. And so, as they left the inn, the entire group traipsed forward without a care to the potential of enemies surrounding them. Birbin even stopped to admire the feathers of the Really Big Crow they had fought off. Katia could have told him that was a moronic waste of time, and was about to do so when her fears were realized. Quick as a flash, her claws and staff whipped forward to assault the closest shadow before she leapt up the side of the building. Her attacks were more to scare it and soften it up than to actually kill it off, and she cared little whether it would attack her in retaliation or not. Safety was at the top of the roof if her previous encounters were any indication.
