Does it involve dinosaurs or dragons?

Before we work on artificial intelligence, could we do something about natural stupidity?

In a twist of irony, my dad got me a Hawaiian shirt for Father's Day. Funny thing is my mom bought me the exact same shirt about a month ago.

Alwin is quite pleased to see another dwarf, even if they aren't kin. He can feel the taught muscles beneath Erastil's skin ease up. Despite his recently found sense of defiance, the raptor is still keenly aware of his alpha's feelings and mental state. However, he is not keen on engaging in a race this early in the morning. Alwin raises his hand in greeting to Haibram. "Top of the morning, stone-brother," he says, using a term in his clan for other dwarves. "A race you say? I think I'll--"

He is cut off by a chittering sound from Erastil. Being a smart creature, the raptor knows different words in common and dwarven, and the word "race" is one of them. The ground hawk has learned that if he participates in a race, and comes out on top, Erastil will receive something. He knows if he wins, he might get food. Or some praise, at the very least.

Alwin gives a quiet sigh. "It seems my mind has been made up for me," he says, giving in. "Erastil! Fnasa!" He gives a command to the raptor in an old dialect of dwarven, pointing to one of the footprints Haibram left behind.
Been a tad busy. Will try to get things hammered out soon.

Alwin had always found being outside during the daytime somewhat unnerving. There was no roof, nothing to stop himself from being snatched up and carried off or just floating off into the sky. He knows both fears are irrational (well, being snatched up by a large, flying predator outside of the Under-Earth was unlikely, but not impossible), but they still tug at the back of his brain, the same way a child my pull on their father's beard to get his attention. Alwin's fingers unconsciously stroked the creature beside him. The groundhawk Erastil was relatively young. Perhaps the dinosaurian equivalent of a teenager. It had been showing recently too: the feathered beast had been acting up lately, ignoring commands or outright challenging Alwin's status as alpha. It sometimes had taken a quick tussle to put the young raptor in his place.

He listens to the old man speak. Community is something the dwarf understands well. Kin and clan are very important in dwarven society, and even if Alwin was an odd duck in his community, he cherishes it with all his heart. He examines the bracelet handed to him, curious. The craftsmanship was good, if different from the beads of bone and metal he was used to. Alwin nods, hearing the instructions, and puts the bracelet in his pocket.

Once Ot dismisses them, Alwin eyes the small group that had been gathered. Quite the motley crew, he thinks to himself.
I'll see if I can hammer out something on my laptop and post it when I get home from work.

Edit— Post completed. Will get it up after work.
I'll get to work on an OoC soon and character sheets soon. For the first season, I'm thinking of going with a small species, such as Velociraptor or Atrociraptor, while the next "season" would be a mixed herd of herbivorous species.
Sorry for not reading that post properly.

I'm Cleveraptor. This is my very first TTRPG, but I've been taking part in forum RPGs since I was in middle school (I'm turning 29 next month). I'll be trying to figure out my way around TTRPGs, so please feel free to hit me with critique or suggestions OoC. As for Alwin, he's rather reserved and tends to be uncomfortable talking face to face with people. He's much more comfortable around animals, and has learned how to tell how they're feeling based on body language. He has raised his groundhawk (Deinonychus) familiar Erastil from a hatchling; to a certain degree, Erastil can be something of an emotional support animal, and Alwin may pet the dinosaur when he's feeling uncomfortable.
Should I roll for initiative? And is Erastil with Alwin?

@Vixere Sorry to drop in like this, but I've been accepted into a Pathfinder game, so I want to commit to that.
Leaving Alwin's sheet here before my shift starts.
