Tigrisclawu and Flutterwings

Please note that the following is an adapted version of the thoughts and mindset of both Tigriclawu and Flutterwings. Sadly, bird and cat thoughts are hard to translate into the common speach of Faerun, so a certain amount of anthropomorphization is required. 

Flutterwings the sparrow was born shortly after the troubles began. These troubles didn't bother her one bit as the destruction of parts of Baldur's Gate created wonderful hiding spots in which to nest and live. Plus, she and her siblings had many delightful places in which to swoop and soar, and there was always the presence of all the other sparrows from which she was thinking of selecting her mates.

The pier was one of her favorite places to stay around until one day when life became a little stranger after an odd human grabbed her and said 'you'll do nicely.' After that she felt this odd compulsion to fly about in an obvious way. This unerved part of her, but whenever she tried to stop she found that she couldn't. Her heart fluttered uncontrollably when a tiny human grabbed a hold of her body as she danced along the wharf. To her utter surprise she shouted, "Visit Oden's for all of your adventuring needs!" In perfect common speech at which the little girl screamed in horror and ran away.
Still, Flutterwings flew about drawing attention. Yet, she found that her ability to dart around and escape harm was superswallow! That part she adored, yet it was put to the test when an intelligent looking cat began to poke around the wharf.

Tigrisclawu hated Baldur's Gate. He hated the place the first time he had been brought by Beranhond, he hated it the second time he had been brought by Beranhond, and he hated it the third time that Beranhond sent him. The last time he protested about being sent as an advanced scout, shrieking in anger at Beranhond about being treated like a common household pet. Beranhond was about to give up until Evelaen stepped in and started to pet and cuddle him, encouraging him about how strong and tough and independent of a cat he was. Tigrisclawu knew that she was buttering him up, but he gave way to her utter charm and agreed to slink off into the city to search for a message from Violet.

On the second day in the city he found his way to the wharf and couldn't believe his eyes when the most delicious smelling swallow darted all around. He darted around, snarling, and hissing, his tail thick as he jumped from the various barrels, containers, and boxes in an attempt to catch the bird. Despite his best effort the swallow seemed to have an almost supernatural ability to avoid his attacks and the swings of his claws.

Finally, after a truly sneaky and dashing move he managed to trap the bird underneath his claws, as he licked his lips and bent his face toward the struggling the swallow. To his surprise the bird squeaked in common, "Deliver me to your master." Tigrisclawu growled, and then bent down, gently, and took the bird, delicately, into his mouth and carried it off in the hopes of finding Beranhond.



To his delight, he saw that Evelaen, and Beranhond, had actually made their way to the wharf. He dropped the swallow in front of Evelaen, just as a gentle reminder to Beranhond that he hadn't completely forgiven him.
