Ignis, too, had used similar touches for much the same reason the Forsaken once did by habit. Even still, he had not grown used to such attention when turned upon himself.
After a moment, he pulled a few more crackers out to offer to Ironeye. It felt awkward, somehow, as if a simple touch had thrown him off-balance. Why, he could not say.
Finally, the Forsaken appeared to find his words. ] I cannot imagine all birds are this accustom to humans, are they? [ He crumbled a few more crackers in his hand, and tossed them. ] Perhaps it is desperation. Who knows how long this city has been like this. Food must be just as difficult for them to find.
