Avalon gave up on the cats. Nothing could change their mind now that they were scratching on the table leg. Looking around Avalon noticed an all to familar face. Being that she hadn't talked to some one in a long time, Avalon decided that perhaps the dwarf could help her a bit. Flying over to where the dwarf stood Avalon landed on a near-by tree and began squawking. "Hello, can you hear me?" The dwarf turned around. " I guess you can hear me. And evidently you can understand me. I am Avalon, probably the only white crow you will ever meet. And you are?" Avalon moved her white wing gently extending her white feathers out to show proper respect.
"I am Dwaline, nice to meet you Avalon." The dwarf's voice almost caused the bird to fall off the branch. After repositioning herself on the branch Avalon decided to tell the dwarf what was going on. "Dwaline, this is a celebration of Derufin and the lady Zimzi joining their lives together and the decision to put up with each other for all eternity." It was weird, Avalon being a crow was able to place a smile across her beak. "So happy they seem together. At least someone can be happy."
