He identified the trap as being his, and Alaine found herself closely scrutinizing the clever contraption. It was designed so as not to hurt the feathered creatures that found themselves tangle in the net - She could see that, not. How clever of Niro, to be able to construct such a thing! The Apothecary herself was not very handy at any sort of business beyond her profession, although admittedly, she was intrigued by the grey male's relationships with his birds. The thought of having such a coexistence with lowspeech creatures baffled the colliewoman, as she had never had a pet her entire life.
The woman was relieved to hear that he was not going to hurt the birds. It had been a silly question, she realized in hindsight - It was clear that Niro had the same passion for these fellow feather predators as his sister Orin did for her books. Alaine should have known that the family trait of compassion ran deep in them both, and she felt sheepish for having asked it. "Oh... I see." Now that he had wrestled the critter into compliance, with its taloned feet and glorious wings bound securely, she thought it safe enough to emerge from behind the trees, to peer a little more closely at the eagle with curious emerald eyes.
At Niro's offer to accompany him, the Apothecary nodded in acceptance. "That would be most lovely, thank you," In spite of the aches and pains of pregnancy, she was growing tired of looking at the insides of the Chien Hotel, and figured that the col fresh air might do her more good than being cooped up would. Besides, she was curious to see what the grey mohawked male had in stock for his newest feathery accomplice. "It's a rather handsome creature, isn't it!" She remarked mildly, admiring the feathers of the restrained bald eagle as it struggled futilely in Niro's strong grasp. Falling into step with the male, she walked beside him companionably, although was careful to still keep some distance between her and the bird.
"What will you call him then, Niro?" Shamrock green eyes looked to the male curiously, as they walked together through the forest.
