Dwaline bowed low and then looked at the bird who was perched once again on the fence. The night seemed to run a chill though Dwalin's bones, but all the same he smiled at Avalon.
"I would be honoured if you would accompany me," he said, "I have missed good companionship in all my long years of travelling." He offered her some of the meat he found on a near by table. Avalon ate it happily and looked up at him as he chuckled to himself with happy memories.
"i plan to get back to my home at the Lonely mountain," he explained, "I think you would enjoy it there. For there were when I left, a family of White crows whom I am sure would be friend you and welcome you to their society. I shall introduce you to your kin, family of Nelek and Rark." Avalon socked her head to one side, she had no expected this. She had never seen any white crows but herself. Should she look forward to this? Or dread it?
