<GM's note: Sorry, but you're litteraly dealing with a bird-brain here. She's not going to understand anything you telepath to her, and she can't form words... even in here mind. If you read her mind, you can get a vauge idea about the general things she is thinking about: Hunting, eating, flying, nesting, etc., or if a specific image is in her mind, but that's about it. Also, keep in mind that this is an animal intelegence, not a sentience: The mind is primitive, but strange: Unille anything a telepath would normaly deal with.
By the way, the reason that Goldwing follows Drek around is that she's become bonded to him (It's a nature-magic thing that happens spontaneously to a select few animals, usually only with Rangers or Druids that have spent a lot of time in the wilderness and have therefor become "attuned" to the specific energies involved.)
Goldwing understands Drek's intentions and directions on much the same level that a trained dog understands it's master's wishes, which is to say: She usually gets the intended meaning.
All adult Golden Eagles have large eyes and very sharp eyesight. They can see detail several times better than humans and can spot a rabbit 2km away. Golden eagles feed on medium sized mammals and birds, including rabbits, hares and grouse. If they cannot find these animals they will eat other birds and mammals. They hunt in several different ways. Sometimes they soar high in the sky and then glide or swoop down quickly in attack. They also hunt by flying close to the ground, catching their prey by surprise. They will fly several miles in search of food. Instead of hunting for themselves Golden Eagles will also eat the bodies of dead animals, including deer and sheep, but they seem to prefer live food.>
Unnerved by the human mouth-noises she could perceive but that did not have sound, Goldwing let out a "screeatch" and her head cocked to the side. She rapidly looked around, hopping around on the ground and then jumping up onto a low tree branch. She then started preening at her feathers and shaking her tail a lot.
Tem didn't know if that was normal or not, but he thought that perhaps he had a good idea why Goldwing had been pecking at Marcus. What little he understood from the images he'd gotten back from his telepathic contact with the bird involved small lizards, big Marcus, and yet more small lizards. Tem though that perhaps Goldwing was confused by Marcus... perhaps she's not quite sure what to make of him. Is he a man or is he just a bigger version of the usually little scaly lizards she apparently likes to snack on? Or maybe she likes him and this is her way of saying "hi"? Perhaps she thinks he makes a nice thing to sharpen her claws on? Who knows?
Instantly, Drek knew that something had upset Goldwing... even though he had no idea what had happened and had seen none of what had transpired. He just knew that something was wrong.
