The guy from above lands and the situation gets about 10 times worse. He's the High General and the kid has a significant resemblance to him. He's also far taller than her- she's barely the height of his collarbone.

she eeped again, terrified.

"You punchin my kid, short lady?" He asks.

"She's technically not yours." The glasswing points out.

"Whatever. Venna doesn't deserve her." He huffs.


Venna as in the High Scientist. As in the High Scientist Venna who once poured glasswing venom on a harpy because they accidentally broke his glassware. This situation is seriously going downhill fast. Next thing she's gonna find out this glasswing lady is secretly Queen Amphita or the ambassador or something.

she whimpered. *please, understand. i was falling and crashed next to your daughter. i must have nicked her on the way down. look!* she pointed her wing at the pulled up grass and the small pile of dirt and plants made by her crash.

He glances at her wing, then at the kid. "Oh. Well okay then." He shrugs and smiles at her, offering a hand to shake. "Makura. Sorry about the scare!"

she sighed in relief and shook it. *Haasteria. its ok. sorry about that.*

"And the cranky one over here is Liru!" He casts the glasswing a teasing smile, who's still glaring at Haast.

she flinched at the glare.

Makura just shrugs and goes over to the little girl, who stops crying when he does so.

she smiled a bit at the girl. *shes cute!*
