Bird's post
Through the open door of the small burrow a small black and white form darted, fluttering around the low room as if seeking a perch, and finally settling on the floor. Holly's eyes widened at the little bird on the floor, and she instinctively reached out to grab and cuddle.
But a pair of rough brown hands reached out gently to stop her, and the little halfing gasped as a small woman sat where a fluffy bird had been a moment before. Holly retreated to Cami, burying her head in her skirts, suddenly shy.
Birdie looked up to Pio and Cami from the floor, appearing to be quite haggard from lack of sleep. "I'm sorry. I tried to follow that man outside the inn, but I lost him in the forest. I have no idea where he went."
