The raven tilted his head at her surprise, although he supposed it was not unwarranted–she did not know he desired the flesh of the undesirables she was hunting–as he had bargained a price for the eye. She appeared equally as pleased by his declaring his intent to join her, however, so he did not think she was trying to be overly pedantic about Exchange procedure if such a thing existed. Gaius did what he wanted to, after all, regardless of human rules.
And she even offered him her arm–the normal one, rather than her curious mechanical limb–as much an invitation to join her as it was to perch on it. Gaius shuffled to the edge of the wall and jumped, catching some air beneath his wings with a flap, before he settled on her arm. His talons pricked at her as he shifted to get himself situated, although he tried not to clench down too hard.
“Yes, we shall... catch up,” he echoed, amused. “You appear to have had an eventful few months.”
