1: Julia stands resolute, talking with the blue jay agent.
Julia: I’m not going to just sit on my ass out here! I’m going in there to see if I can help!
Avery speaks Avian in a tone of fearful outrage.
2: Julia is angry, looking down at Melissa’s unconscious body.
Julia: That thing attacked my friend because I was too curious, and that might have made shit go down here, too.
3: The avian agent retorts with a long musical barrage in his native tongue.
Avery speaks Avian, thoughtful at first, with an edge of conciliatory friendship, then turning to a firm negative tone.
4: Julia looks down on him and sighs.
Julia: You’re right.
5: She leaves confidently.
Julia: Thank you for permission to go in.
6: Avery sulks, but has a knowing, respectful smile.
Blue jay words:
No. Stay
here.
Listen. I understand that you want
redeem yourself for causing that.
but running in recklessly will not
help anyone.

more casuality to
your mistake.
(Note: passage has some confusing ligatures, and the symbol which means “F” seems to be identical to the one which means “K”.)
I feel like for most these early pages I’ll just be saying Dranorter was right. 😅
They’re also right when they say that F and K are almost identical, but it’s pretty easy to guess which is which! This page actually is one of the pages that helped me get the key down, the first place I realized I could translate it was the Cast page, where it has Alexander Avery’s name in Avian and English.
This page is notable for having the first few compound symbols in Avian, that first letter in the fourth word on panel three stands for ‘TH’, and the last letter on the tenth word in that panel is ‘ING’, these seem to have been phased out eventually, or maybe I just missed them in the newer Avian text.
