The soft crunch of snow beneath his talons was nice, he supposed, landing with a flutter of wings onto the soft layer of white powder that most likely coated this place quite a lot. The chill in the air was prominent against his coat of feathers, the ache of his wings from the days of flying that he'd been doing only enhanced by the cool atmosphere in this place. There were people here, Mark thought, and he needed people, people to be around, before he went insane. He'd been a solitary old crow - though he was a raven - for oh too long, and now was the time that he rejoined society. Joined it, more like. Hadn't really ever been absorbed into one of those big groups that seemed to be everywhere nowadays, not when he was a young'un still living with his family, still positive, not after he got assaulted by some people he thought were intelligent, and not in the years and years after that, where he spent his days hunting and just doing his best to stay alive. He let out a squawk, a short little "hello?" to any of those that might be nearby, a surefire way to alert people of his presence, hopping just a tad closer.
He could smell the border from here, or what he hoped was the border. All he knew about this, after all, was that there were smart animals, some of those civilized sapient animals, in the direction he was heading near some snow. He didn't really plan on being right, though. He'd hoped the last couple of places he'd passed through, and those had just ended in him flapping away from some predator that wasn't smart, as far as he knew. Not smart enough to ask if he was one of those thinkers too, at least, those animals that had gone beyond what most animals could. Almost a disease, really, to be smart but trapped in a bird's body, since he was prone to getting assaulted for food. Supposed most other people struggled with the same thing, maybe, and while he had flight they had claws. He could still complain though, as he spoke in a greater abundance than last time, "Hello? Anybody out there?" His voice was a tad creaky, aged, the voice of an old man, though it still had that squawk to it, like he was still partly beast - er, regular animal, he should say. Can't be leaping to beasts, not just yet, he still had some hope for himself.
