She gives him a wry look. "Are you implying that I myself am an ill omen?"

Technically, yes. Whip-poor-wills are her signifier, distinguished from other reapers such as herself.

...

Except she isn't a reaper anymore. Not here, at any rate. It's easy to forget that sometimes.

At his question, Ravine just raises a brow.

"What about them?" She glances over at the foreign birds surrounding the nearby temple and frowns, as curious spectators swarm the area as a result. It would be one thing if the crowds came here for the gods, but... Suppose that makes them more of a nuisance than a welcome development. "You could always distract them with majestic presentation. Pygmy falcons are no more common in this country than the whip-poor-will."

It's not an entirely serious suggestion, but at the same time... maybe?
