The Crow had no idea what a metaphor was, so he didn't bother to respond to Luka's comeback. Instead, he turned to the two girls, who were introducing themselves. He nodded approvingly, and once they were done, he cleared his throat. "I am the Crow," he said. "I own the territory around Mario's diner and I know how to defend what's mine. I will also accept That Damned Crow, That Fucking Crow, Blasted Bird, Crow from Hell, Feathered Fiend and..." He paused, as if recalling something. He pointed at Luka with a wing. "What was that moniker you referred to me as when we first woke up here? Err, 'Midnight-feathered Menace', I do believe?" He nodded to himself. "Yes, I do quite like that. I will be using that in future. You do have a way with words, old chap, I will give you that." He then shot Luka a very smug look. "But I suppose it would have been cruel for nature to not give you at least one redeeming quality."

Bio
Fell, she/they, English, currently obsessed with DnD and other ttrpgs. I do art sometimes. I am the GM of two tabletop roleplays on this very site:
- Beyond Moonlight's Reach, a story of four young dragons growing up in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and using the Powered by the Apocalypse game Epyllion.
- Search for Tir na Og, a DnD 5e campaign set in the Planescape setting where a group of strangers from all across the multiverse come together to solve the mystery about what happened to the Celtic gods after they and their homelands were mysteriously spirited away.

To Luka's comment, the Crow snorted. "Well the fact you cannot even tell your birds apart speaks for itself," he said, waving a wing dismissively in Luka's direction before turning his head away. "Raven indeed... As if I'm anything like those pompous creatures," he muttered under his breath, before giving another snort.
Luka and the Crow's dynamic:
Apparently, not all of the Crow's companions were as quick to jump at a second chance as he was. While the vibrant human took up his card not long after the Crow had, the two girls seemed more hesitant. There were more words exchanged between them and their host that, even with the Crow's newfound comprehension, he couldn't quite understand.
However, he did seem to pick up on the fact that Santana was giving them a gift besides just a new life, some kind of tool that would help them overcome the odds. The Crow placed his card between his talons and looked over at Emily. "Fear not!" he said. "Between this gift and our own wits, I believe we will have more than a fighting chance. And besides..." He glanced an eye towards Luka. "Whatever failings certain other team members may have, the Crow is enough to make up for it."
Clearly, even with this overwhelming situation threatening to strain his attention span, the Crow had not forgotten the young man's previous - not to mention, incredibly premature - celebration at his demise.

She clarifies further, "I think I saw one of the people you mentioned and what they did, but I do not know how he managed to attack and kill us in the diner. Also, to be frank, you got two college students, the crow, and a frat boy."
I like how Emily said 'the crow' and not 'a crow'. The Crow will remember this sign of respect.
Also, yeah, pretty accurate description of our group xP
As the Crow pecked at the card in front of them, they were vaguely aware of the questions their companions were throwing at this 'Santana' individual, though the words they were using were strange to him. 'Heaven'? 'Hell'? What did they mean by an 'afterlife'? Wasn't there just death after life? However, this seemed to be a concept all humans present were familiar with, so he wasn't about to speak up and reveal his ignorance.
Besides, it didn't seem like it really mattered all that much, because 'Santana' apparently had a way to bring them back to the world of the living. Again, this seemed like it should be utterly impossible, but a lot things weren't really making sense right now, so the bird decided they should just take the offer and ask questions later when death was no longer something they had to worry about. "I accept!" the Crow said. "And I will make sure that whatever killed me pays dearly! The Crow is not one to tolerate such slights."
And with that, he lifted his talon off the card and attempt to scoop it up with his beak.

Santana: So basically you're in a JRPG now and I want you to awaken to your anime powers so you can defy fate and fight God.
The Crow: I like your funny words, magic man.
(I'm sorry I will stop shit-posting now xP)

The Crow learning about the concept of the soul:
Ya'll literally making me ask whether an animal, even an intelligent one like a crow, would have the concept of an 'afterlife'.
Recovering from the holidays and slowly trying to catch up... so, on that note--
Would the name Dawrie ring a bell for Fellwing?
Not really. Fellwing seems to recall she might have heard gossip about a missing Rothscar envoy at one point, though she doesn't recall the name and it was barely on dragon society's radar.
