-feathers on her neck ruffled, her pupils dilated, she didn't hear a thing Gav had just said. Two thousand gold could buy her many a pastires she could share with Gav on any city bench they could find. Hells, she might even buy the bench too.

Kerva was listening to every word @bladesofgrey.bsky.social had said. This certainly was more than they usual handled. Save for the vampire. She looked to @honorbound.sunder.my and @albinoduelist.bsky.social before looking to Rena. She blinked slowly. "Okay, hold up. t-two thousand g-gold?" The-

- to @albinoduelist.bsky.social before she looked at this @bladesofgrey.bsky.social fellow. It was like some switch ficked before her eyes matched Gav and she fidgeted a little in her seat. "Yeah! When do we start?" She poked Gav's side gently. "Think we can do the thing we've been working on?"

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Kerva had finished eating during all this commotion, wiping her mouth and gnelty setting the spoon down in such a calm fashion; as if this didn't bother her at all. Inhaling as ruffled feathers smoothed out, exhaling as the puff went away. She glanced at @honorbound.sunder.my , then Rena, then -

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

-"when she goes quiet. Just... Give them a moment."

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Kerva isn't even bothered by Gav's tugging away from her. The other hand bringing the spoon up to her beak, to keep eating in a calm manner despite the tension around the table. "Gav, maybe sit this one out, okay? We can eat dessert and ask Aro more questions about dragons. You know how Rena gets-"

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Kerva had tried to get Gav to swallow, get some water when Cieve gets up and then the man changes his appearance. Kerva feels unease, she tenses as her eyes go sharp looking at the man. Then, only one thought entered her mind, racing 'Pleasebenicepleasebenicepleasebenicepleasebenicepleasebenice'.

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Kerva had gone back to pecking at her own food, giving Gav a poke when he was lost in thought only to jump in her seat a little when life returned to him, now making a fuss about a bloody dragon. "Gav, we've never fought a dragon. How do you think we'd fair against a dragon?"

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

- eyes darting from where the spoon fell, back to Gav. "Would you believe I learned illusionary magic?" The feathers on her neck ruffled in embarrassment.

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

And there was prim and proper Kerva, spoon still between beak, wide eyed and unblinking as she stares at Gav. "You're stew? It's, I'm, it's f-fine! I was just checking it for.... Taste? Yeah!" She removes the spoon so fast, it hits the table, skidding across it and onto the floor, her unblinking -

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Kerva just nods and thanks the waitress before she follows Gav's sudden outburts, feeling the entire tavern's eyes fall on them. "Uhhhh, Gav? Y-you don't have to shout."

110

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

-are so pretty!" She bounced a little as she looked at each one. "I don't think I've seen this one before!" She pointed at a vibrant yellow flower.

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Kerva gently took the book into her hands, flipping through it. "That's..." She remembered the wounded drake she was forced to kill to save Gav when they first met. Kerva took a deep breath. "Yeah... I don't like it." She mumbled before she forced herself to smile, lifting the mood. "Oooh, these -

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Kerva was listening intently. As Gav began writing, she shifted, leaning forward on the table. "Aro? You mentioned death? Did... did you kill Gardruth? Because he was poisoning people?" She was a bit fidgety, holding onto her own hands a bit tightly.

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Kerva remained quiet, eyes moving from speaker to speaker but when Aro mentioned a flower diary, she perked up with a small hoot escaping her. "Really? I wanna see too, Aro! That sounds so cute!"

110

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Kerva gave a happy little hoot. "Jasmine Tea then. Thank you for the recommendation!" She smiled at the waitress, turning back to the table. "Speaking of, we should find the post office. You haven't send one since we left Westgate."

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

"Tea, if you have any." Kerva said with a light chirp as she smiled at the waitress, turning back to Cieve. "Ten years? But you kept in touch, right?"

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Kerva follows, taking a seat next to Gav, looking around the tavern with intense curiosity. She sits, simple and gently, down on to the seat, hands resting on her lap. "That does sound delicious." She looks around again. "How long?" She ponders out loud before she recovers. "Since you two last saw-

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

-out, her feathers around her neck puffing up visibly, a nervous laugh escaped her before she tried again. "Um, hello! I'm Kerva. It's a pleasure to meet you!" A happy chirp escaped her, as she gave a soft, gentle smile towards the other.

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Kerva stepped forward with happy, soft hoot as she gave a little bow, lifting her dress up just enough as her knees bent. When she straightened up, there was a slight bounce, making her hop an inch off the ground. "HI!" It came out a bit high pitched, a crack in her voice. She straightened herself-

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Kerva took her own bed roll, gripping it a bit tightly. Aro had been nice, she had to remind herself but she prayed that the voice wouldn't visit her tonight. She set up bed roll, somewhere near Gav. "Well, good night, everyone!", she added a playful chirp and placed her head down.

000

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

-me a place to travel with them." She kept giving Gav side glances before she was aware of how much she was looking, casting her eyes instead up towards the sky. "We've been traveling ever since." She then right back to the remaining soup, not quite sure how Aro would react. So far he had been nice.

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

-whenever the storm clouds gather. I've always had an affinity for storm magics since I was born. My mum and papa said I was born during one so...." Her gaze fell for a moment. It hurt to think of her parents, even after all this time. "I left to find out why. Then I met Gav and Rena. They offered-

110

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

"She sounds nice. I'd love to meet her." She took another spoonful, her shoulders dropping slightly. Gav and Rena had trusted her reason to leave the village, even if she left out some... unsavory details. "I, um, I left my village because... well, I sometimes... at night... hear a voice calling me-

110

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

-She fell silent, feeling she was being too much now, going back to eating the soup, still swinging her feet a bit but with a little less enthusiasm.

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

-she was practically bouncing as she sat and ate. She was more than eager to accept Aro into their group, even if it was temporary. She had Gav and Rena but a new friend was always welcome. "Do you think we can visit this life long friend of yours too? I mean, i-if its not too much of a bother?"-

110

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

She had set the first plate down when Aro handed her the second. "More? Yum! Thank you, Aro!" There was a chirp as she spoke, now clearly carefree. She took a spoonful, let a satisfied hoot escape her, her feet swinging as she ate. "You're more than welcome! We can always have more friends!" -

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

-to work on was letting herself relax around others without Rena and Gav reassuring her but at least now, that moment passed.

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

-asked, taking a peck of the food, her feathers puffing up along with a small vibration leaving her. "Oh, wow! This is really good!" She took more pecks, not forgetting her manners unlike Gav, still keeping her attention on Aro, finally more relaxed than she was a few minutes ago. Something she had-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

"That's.." She glanced back at Gav before looking at Aro. "A lot for one person." She picked up a plate, settling down on a near by log. "This is a lot for one person." There was a hint of sadness in her voice as she gently lifted the food, looking at Aro. "How long have you been traveling?" She -

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

-neck puffing up in embarrassment. "Not that that's a bad thing!" She waved her hands from left to right in front of her, as if dismissing how awkward she felt. It wasn't working. "I'm just... not used to it, is all."

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

-to meet you, Aro." She took a look at the fire, slowly taking in the campsite, finding the food with ease. Her stomach was grumbling but manners first. "Are you... by yourself? I don't think I've seen people alone in these parts." She felt like she was saying the wrong thing, feathers around her-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Kerva looked at Aro, then to Gav. "How.... " She let a small smile form, shaking her head, relief washing over her. "I-we were worried. Well, Rena was more annoyed." She took a deep breath. "But you're okay, as usual." She then walked past Gav, towards Aro, a bounce in her step. "Hi. Kerva, nice-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

-closer to Gav, defensive, realizing in her flight that her hood had been pulled back, pulling it back on, covering the white of her feathers that puffed up due to the distress she was feeling, eyes narrowed, very conscious of everything around them. "Gav? Is he.....?"

110

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

-under the cloak she wore, same color as her simple green dress. Kerva almost ran into Gav, a tackling hug but she stopped just short of him, standing inches apart. "There you are! You can't keep running off...." her voice trailed off once she saw the giant knight standing by the fire, moving-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

-faster and faster until she saw the clearing. She saw Gav and on instinct, dove right down, letting out a hoot to let Rena know, if she could distinct herself from the less humanoid owls of the forest. "Gav? Gav!" She all but yelled out, landing towards him, her wings tucking back behind her-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

She had been flying high for a while, knowing Rena was close by but Kerva flew with such an urgency that she clearly left the older woman behind. It was then she saw a bright light in the distance: fire. It had to be and fire was Gav's trademark. She steered herself towards it, beating her wings-

110

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

"He's.... getting better?" She fidgeted a little. "We have to find him."

010

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-taking the opportunity one morning, after Rena had left them to find jobs to fulfill, to grab a freshly baked loaf of bread to share with Gav. Just the two of them. A simple little mundane thing. Something she wouldn't trade for anything else.

000

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-while Gav seemed unbothered. She wasn't sure if he felt the same way she felt, too afraid to ask, having already lost one home already, she didn't want to ruin what she had with Gav. So, she kept it to herself, focusing on the voice from afar. Finally, settling in Teziir for the time being-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-spoke to her, woke her up, Gav would sit with her until she could calm down enough to sleep again, not once thinking little of her. It meant the world to her. She would be there for him as much as he was for her, Rena making small, fun, observable comments. Kerva would almost lose her composure-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-extended a hand, to travel with them. Kerva couldn't contain her excitement, eagerly accepting. She had two new friends that didn't think odd of her. The last three months were the best time she'd had in a very long time. They would make their way south, to warmer weather. When the voice at night-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-before. The Elf helped her to calm down, reassuring her, warm and friendly. She had forgotten what that felt like. When they shared why they were traveling, she reluctantly shared her own and received no judgement. Instead, the Elf, introducing himself as Gavwen Arajeon and the druid, Rena Rafisur-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-Flying across the skies. It would be a day before she would come across two travellers, holding ground against a wounded drake. The Elf almost had their head bitten off when she commanded the very lightning inside her to strike it down. She panicked, of course, because she had never taken a life-

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-It would be better if you left." Her own friends, eventually her own family, began to see her as some kind of burden. Taking the side of the neighbors and strangers. She had decided, one day, to do just that. Taking what she could, she would follow this storm, seeking out its source. -

100

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

-that some kind of being in the storm would call out, asking her to follow, to approach it. Her fascination only grew with each passing day, excited at first to talk to others about it. Before they would curse her. "A storm deity in the night sky? You're inviting trouble, trouble we don't want.-

Kerva @galeoflightning.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

"There she goes again." The familiar disgust, spat at her with the same venom she had grown so accustomed to. Even among her own people, far to the north, was she an outsider. She couldn't help it that the night sky would call to her, that lightning and thunder would play at her finger tips-
