Glory felt a little bit undermined when the strange rat thing talked about how to get to Canis. Hadn't he said that he'd lead the way? But it seemed like the group wanted to take control without him. He clicked his beak with slight irritation, but he wasn't petty enough to argue.

As Scorch gripped at his feathers, he didn't dare stand up straight for fear of knocking them off. He could take off like this. He wouldn't get as much power, but he could do it easily.

When the spider suddenly snapped at him, he whipped his head towards them, eyes blazing with anger. How dare she insult him? He was offering to help, not ruin the whole mission! His anger died down a little bit as she dropped the stone. He wouldn't dare make fun of her for such a pesky little thing. He was a noble creature and would never stoop to such a level. He was just glad that she could see reason. "I won't break it. I promise."

He glanced back at Scorch as he opened his wings. "Hold on tight, now." He didn't leap or do anything grand, for fear that the baby owl would slip off. Instead, he carefully raised himself from the ground, if a little wobbly, and moved himself over the stone. As delicately as possible, he grasped it between his talons, cringing a bit as one of them scratched at the surface. He hoped that it was hard enough to not do any damage. After a small slip, he managed to get it secured tightly between his talons.

Now that he had a good grip, he beat his wings harder to gain altitude and, after a moment, was soaring above the group. He let himself glide in a circle, ready to follow the hybrid on the way to Canis.
