Leirha was... Surprised, to say the least, when the bird, no Pheonix, crashed by her feet, instead of landing on her shoulder, though with the force it still carried when it hit the ground, she was glad for it. Getting hit by high-velocity talons hurt a lot, that's one of the first lessons you learned, playfighting with other Heiratians. Luckily the Pheonix seemed to be alright. Leihra bent down to it and introduced herself, her voice slightly accented, and with some sounds sounding vaguely bird-like [color=fff200]"Are you alright? I- umm, you can call me Leihra. P-pleased to meet you?"[/color] She'd almost used her 'old' name but stopped herself, her grandfather had repeated many times that it was better to use the 'human' name they'd thought out for her. 
Almost none of the other races were even physically capable of pronouncing her name, and even amongst those that could, it'd be rare to find someone who'd learned how to make the right kind of noises. Her grandfather said it'd make people feel more comfortable around her if her name wasn't so strange. Then she realised that the Pheonix, being a bird, might actually have an easier time pronouncing her 'old' name than it would her 'new' one. She started blushing slightly and feeling rather silly, but tried to collect herself. If she were to blush for every tiny blunder, she'd probably not stop blushing till she came back home, and that wouldn't do, she had to be a good representative.
