[ reyson doesn't notice him at first. he's pretty caught up in the whole being able to see again and fly again thing - not to mention, at this time of night he doesn't expect anyone to be out and about.
really, he should be being much more careful, and generally he is; he knows how dangerous it can be for a heron to let down its guard but he's just so glad.
still, after a few moments he senses another presence and lifts his head on its long neck. he's frozen, unmoving, watching this man through dark, intelligent eyes. should he run? .. no, he doesn't feel any need to escape just yet, so instead he only waits at a safe distance, observing, the river water running noisily around his long legs. ]
