He says, very softly, a slight snarl on the edge of his voice. ::Birds, Thirteen, (...)

alsoquin There is no response from Thirteen, lost in the world of the Wasirranu, apart from all human contact....
Birds ::Yes?::
Birds ::Dear me, where is the gate?::
Cerin ::There is one within the City.::
Birds ::I will meet you there.::
