[The video shows Naesala casually lounging against the side of a stone building, in his usual dark outfit. It's a wide enough shot to show his wings resting against the wall behind him; he seems to be holding his yimo out at arm's length while he's recording.]

Well then. It's a festival dedicated to tying knots. Makes you wonder what form of the festivities happens in private, doesn't it?

Don't bother scolding me for saying it. I know that's been the question on everyone's mind.

At any rate, I met a most interesting group of people at one of the bars here. They invited me to a Erol'an poetry reading at a place near the docks. I don't know what to expect from it, but it ought to make for an interesting night.

[Naesala seems pretty satisfied with the turn of events, too. Look at him, making friends with hipsters.]

If only all my interactions with the locals were like that. Do yourselves a favor and don't walk close to the colleges if you have any extra appendages. You might not escape with all your feathers intact.

Some people use a disguise to fit in.

[Chase, for instance—his appearance was copied from a human.]

A good disguise doesn't look suspicious. [He tilts his head.] Can you shapeshift? [A reach, maybe, but Chase has three forms, not including his human one, that he can cycle through. He's done it once as part of an operation, in fact.]

I can shapeshift, but that's not going to look less suspicious. I turn into a raven. A raven about as tall as I stand in this form, to be specific.

They won't know it's you to hound you. [At the most, they could ask Naesala if he was related to that big raven they saw, probably.]

[...But that probably won't solve the main issue, it's true.]

You are content with staying away from there?

[darkwingsofkilvas]

Yes, true enough, but it's quite attention-getting all on its own.

At any rate, I am happy to avoid the place. You have nothing to worry about.
