A good question, but one that just gets another croak out of the crow and then a long, long, long stare. The bird can't talk, Lambert. They've already established this fact, so now all he can do is sit there and expectantly wait for Lambert to either give up or figure out a system for communication.

Though that he seriously went the 'you can understand me' route is... interesting. Was his unexpected hero something other than just a normal human? The crow squints some as he stares, trying to see through or pick up on any magic that might linger around the man. Another changeling? Something else?
