Skellig spots Thia - Ajax is nowhere to be found this morning, but he does not sense any trouble (or the offending heartbeat of his brother which he was keeping track of last night) so he is not concerned. "One moment," he tells Kreyu. "I would leave our friend something, a symbol of our promise."
Might the meaning behind it be construed differently by Ajax? Possibly. Skellig moves over to Thia, and procures one of his feathers from somewhere - it is a large primary flight feather, patterned. (But there is no need to ask where exactly he was carrying it up until the moment he has it in hand.) 'Sokratis' leaves it, with a few quiet words and a coin for Thia to pass along the message.
He returns to Kreyu's side promptly, dropping his voice as they walk outside. "It was one I dropped last night," he mutters. "Molted several. I am...going through a change, I feel." He will need preening, soon...
"I would much rather join Koschei in celebration versus the alternative."
