The landing of the raptor had Zaris pulling his sling back further, but his arm froze when the bird spoke. The demand it made had him looking around for the Abbot. he couldn't see the old mole anywhere, but he also couldn't imagine that he would let this bird sit on the wall and make outlandish asks of the Abbey folk. He wasn't as ingrained into the society at the Abbey, having only been there for a short time, but even he knew about the famed sword. Why on earth would a raptor want that? Could he even use it?

And who was this prince that he kept blabbing on about? He thumped his rudder on the ground and narrowed his eyes up at the creature. They didn't need some foreign interloper coming into Mossflower Woods and trying to claim it for themselves. Everyone did, mostly, just fine the way things were. He wouldn't even let himself entertain the thought that things could've gone differently with the vermin had some army been present in the woods. For all he knew they would try to take the tribes and the Abbey for themselves and he wasn't about to allow that.

It would be best to wait on the Abbot though. He kept his sling out, but made sure not to have it up in case the bird decided to take it as a decline and attack anyway. He could see that a number of the older beasts around had grabbed the dibbuns to rush them inside which made him relax a small amount.

Judging by the mutters that now crossed the crowd they were also questioning the strange behavior. 

He caught sight of Rigby standing amongst the crowd and made his way over to the mouse. If Ellis thought he could distract the bird enough who was he to stop him, unless it decided to attack, then he would have something to say about it. He caught the question that Rigby asked, unsurprised that it was curiosity that seemed at the forefront of his most common companion's mind.
