[ Istredd continues to be startled whenever the birds talk because it's very sudden and loud, but he picks up quickly on what they're doing. Mimicking something that has meaning to Kyle. Psychological warfare instead of something for them to physically fight off. Every creature has its form of predator and prey. He doesn't know right away how they're even doing this, how they've dipped into memories.
He knows better than to argue with Kyle right now so he moves forward to pick up the crystals in question. It is going to take more than a few moments as they glow and while not obvious yet, the longer he holds them, the more his skin will change color. For now he is pulling at a red one.
You're deranged. All of you. A pack of lies. Istredd flinches but he focuses on the crystal. While hearing the last words Stregobor said to him before he died is not great, it's not as deeply cruel as whatever is going on with Kyle. More mean-spirited than anything else. ]
Fuck these birds.
[ He glances over his shoulder at Kyle as he finesses the crystals into the bag he brought. They seem to have lost interest in Istredd quickly. ]
I have returned
