Jill knew for a long time that Misha didn't need much sleep. It was something she wished she had, since Jill's travel habits usually forced her to sleep through the day or go about exhausted. But what Jill didn't understand was how Misha could be so excited every morning despite not receiving any sleep. Jill followed Misha downstairs and got a coffee along with her breakfast. She poured in a bunch of cream and sugar to make the bitter beverage as sweet as she wanted it to be. One of the few benefits of not having parents was there not being anyone to tell her that she's using too much sugar.

Allynna eats quickly, getting herself a mug of tea that she sips after finishing her breakfast, occasionally handing Cien a piece of leftover bacon. She nods at Misha. "It's not a place that has the best reputation here. At least not among certain people. I'll be happy to be able to get it cleared out of the city."
Jill takes a break from eating bacon and drinking overly sweetened coffee to look at Cien. "I do not recall you having a bird last night. Or during the journey here. When did you get him?"

Allynna smiles. "This is Cien. He's a friend of my patron at court."
Cien sketches a brief bird bow to Jill and the others. "I've volunteered to accompany Allynna on her journeys and help to keep her safe," he says in a cultured voice.
Misha looked at the bird, then to the gorf, and then to Nok Nok. Eh. Why not? We had enough animals already in the party. What's one more, she thought innocently. But then it spoke, and she coughed in surprise. "Eet talks? Gasp!! Like bird Poop Log hed on Belle of the Sea!"
"You must be a very smart bird, in order to be able to speak. Your patron must be very rich, to give you gifts like these." Jill raises an eyebrow when Misha speaks up. "Poop Log? That is a very unfortunate name to have. I wonder what the parents of that child were thinking."

“Can you help me with division?” Corrin asks with a mouthful of bacon then swallows it down. “I suck at it and mama does too.”
When eyes would go to Amelia, she shrugs and says, “Math ain’t exactly my forte.”

"Not sure what parents of Plop Hog were theenking, no. Was a cat creature on old sheep. Many years ago."Misha admitted to Jill, then, turning to Allynna, "But hees bird could not do multipleecation, for sure. Just made very loud screaming noises. Misha ees mildly eempressed, ya."She nodded sagely.
Cien gives a squawk that miiiight be derisive, but it's a bird, so who really knows. "I don't do tutoring, sorry. Unless you're offering bacon as payment. I like bacon. And impressing you is truly my primary purpose in life." His voice is bone dry.
"This ship you were on sounds very interesting, Misha. I would like to hear more about it sometime." Jill looks back at Cien. "What kind of bird are you, exactly? I have not encountered any birds in my travels that eat bacon."

Seated in his own little corner in the room, and quietly contemplated enjoying some berries and smokes is Yoska. "Is it even a bird?" Yoska finally pipes in after having taken a long drag of his pipe. "Did we ever return those books too? We should probably return those. Oh, and then.... uhhh... ah! My name's Yoska, Mr. Maybe-Not-Bird. Pleasure to meet'cha?"The Vistani smiles sloppily after blowing the shape of a frog in the air above.

The raven turns a piercing gaze on Yoska. "I'm a special bird," he says deadpan. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Yoska. And in answer to your question, Ms. Moon, maybe you've met birds who like bacon but just didn't tell you."
"I doubt that, as I do not believe that the digestive systems of most birds are capable of handling the grease. But I am not an expert on the feeding habits of birds, so I might be wrong. But that was not really an answer to my question. Also, Moon is not my last name."

Misha was on her third plate of bacon and eggs when she stopped mid chew to look at the bird Allynaa had. She continued eating awaiting the answer.
Allynna smiles. "This is Cien. He's a friend of my patron at court."
Cien sketches a brief bird bow to Jill and the others. "I've volunteered to accompany Allynna on her journeys and help to keep her safe," he says in a cultured voice.

"Yes," Cien says evenly. "I talk. Although I am certainly not associated with any...Poop Log."

"It's...complicated," Allynna says briefly to Jill.
"Yes," Cien says, completely deadpan. "I am a very smart bird. I can do multiplication and everything."

Nok wonders to himself how the talking bird would taste roasted with potatoes and onions. He keeps those thoughts to himself, though.

Yoska raises a bushy brow, and eyes back the bird all suspiciously for a moment.
Insight: 5.
".... Whoa... a special bird? Man. This realm is far stranger than I thought." Yoska falls back into his seat, chuckling to himself.
