[Ushahin's mind goes out, watching Richie's mind try to catch
Fetch's. He's an outside observer and won't interfere. Richie won't learn
anything if he does this for him. The efforts made are admirable, though of
course, the half-man would have been astounded if he had gotten it on the
first couple of tries. Expanding the mind beyond its usual confines is not
an easy task. His soft voice gives some advice.]
That is the way of the raven. A flock of them can give information very
quickly, each forming a piece of the whole. Keep that in mind. You're not
looking for a continuous train of thoughts. Just a piece, something there
and gone again.
[Fetch's thoughts continue to jump from place to place, each one
there and then gone again. If Richie can catch hold of one, he'll see that
the raven is actually watching him, his bright brown eyes and
slightly curved vision taking the man in, wondering what to make of him. He
watches his shut eyes behind the shiny glasses, which makes him think of
battles and dead bodies, full of eyes to rip out and swallow down whole.
Fresh eyeballs are a great treat for ravens, especially the ravens of
Darkholm, which had been raised for war.]
