Lapia stared at me for a second, then tilted her head. "Mind elaborating?" She voiced her confusion.
I nodded. "Nilenna gifted me Pyotr for helping the King," I explained while gesturing at the Corvitex on my shoulder.
"How generous of her," Elena commented with respect in her tone.
"Sis! Best!" the bird croaked.
Not the bird too, I sighed in my mind and stored the letters and the stamp.
Lapia gave the big raven a tight smile.
"Oh!" Yolin, who was at the front of the group and must have heard the bird, breathed in surprise while looking at us. "A Corvitex. Haven't seen one this close in around a century."
"Hello! I! Pyotr!" he introduced himself in a series of croaks.
I was a little disturbed with the cognitive capacity of the animal. While I knew parrots could mimic speech with relative ease, the fact a Corvitex could have what felt like a conversation made me feel a very strong uncanny feeling.
