Raven cocked his head again, examining the tight curl of his companion's body and feeling a spark of curiosity within his birdy breast. Obviously, he was familiar with the concept of gods in non-human form, but this particular deity was foreign to him; this fellow could almost, almost pass for Brother Rattlesnake, but he seemed to have a much more melancholy air about him. And some really weird-ass scales.
