The Kenku manages to break free from the halfling as he darts for the backdoor. Only to see Aidan as he opens the door. He tries to backtrack and make way for the front door.

Aidan attempts to grapple the kenku to help hold him down.

Athletics Check: 19

Nate will just watch because this is the wrong kind of bird person he wanted to find.

The Kenku tries to escape from Aidan's grasp.

 Aidan manages to catch the small Kenku who's still trying to escape. He doesn't say anything but just squawks loudly.

While holding onto the bird person, Aidan hurriedly speaks to the cleric. 

"What kind of injuries does this one have that they will not cooperate to have them tended?"

The halfling raises a brow, "Did...why you in my backyard, stranger? Anyway, that's what I want to figure out. He got blood on his feathers and all, found him leaving a trail of it before I dragged him to my clinic. Though..." She starts to back away from you both, her hand reaching behind her. "Forgive me but y'all don't strike me as just a curious sort. Mind answering why you're in my backyard?"

"We were following a lead on a pirate who attempted to hijack a military ship this morning. I was in your backyard to prevent them from fleeing if the lead proved accurate." 

Aidan looks back down at the kenku struggling against his grip. 

"You my friend, what is the cause of your injuries and why would you not wish them healed if the kind lady is willing to go through the trouble of doing so?"

If he’s still struggling, Nate will step in close and say, “Stop struggling, now.”

Intimidation 10

The kenku somewhat calms down and shakes his head, "Not injuries, friend injuries, friend injuries." He mimics Aidan's voice, using parts of his words.

Aidan tilts his head quizzically.

"You have a friend who is injured and needs help?"

The Kenku nods, "I found friend I help friend." He mimic parts of the halfling's and Aidan's speech, forming a somewhat cohesive sentence, though odd sounding.

"Is your friend like you, a kenku? Why would they not come for help themselves?"

10 - Deception

"Why don't you take us to your friend, so we can help them? Please, lead the way?"

Have we had a short rest yet?

(Had a short rest on the ship.)

The kenku shakes his head, "Kenku help kenku. Friend like kenku, so Kenku help friend." He mimics.

(Sorry for delay.)

Nate says to the Kenku, “Well if your friend needs help, why don’t we have you take this nice doctor to your friend?”

The Kenku shakes his head and gives a squawk.

Gaèl sighs, takes a step forward and crouches down near the Kenku. "Listen buddy, we're only here to help. You had a reason to come and see the doc. And if you got this much blood on you and its not even yours, your friend has to be injured badly. We gotta be quick, or he might be hurt permanently. So we can either get the doc to come with you, or we help carrying your friend to him. What do you think? He smiles perplexed, as if it was all that simple, and makes a gesture opening his arms.

Persuasion: 14

Anyone else went to try? Otherwise Lilliana is going to try to Charm the kenku.

The Kenku shakes his head, "Doc carry Kenku. Kenku not see Doc." The halfling shyly chuckles, "I did say I sorta forced him to come here. Though I be open to helping this mysterious friend of his."

"Doc was just a little overzealous in her wanting to help, I think."

Aidan gives the halfling woman a smirk and a wink.

"But if your friend is hurt, we're wasting time with all this struggling. Will you let us and the good doc help?"
