OOC: whee fun!

WC: 431


Niro’s whole experience in Cour des Miracles had been surreal. Out of the two months he’d been there, he had not once had to fight, steal, sneak, hide, or otherwise do anything untrustworthy the whole time. Well he did have to sneak through the forest once or twice to get a good look at some birds, but that wasn’t what he meant in his minds eye. This place made him feel good. Home is where he was and he was going to actually help. He’d patched the roof in the hotel, where he had found a leak, an easy fix of course, he wasn’t even sure anyone had noticed it, but his real work would begin soon. He was putting out his trap now. He didn’t like it so early, but reading a little more on the birds he was to catch their seasons were all sporadic, he had put out his trap, since the trap was so large and he didn’t have the materials for another right now he had to settle with the one trap he had, but then again, he didn’t have more than two cages. So he was happy in small ways.

He was whistling to himself as he moved along the grass, it wasn’t hard to spot the trap and he sauntered up to it, looking inside he sighed. No catch. The rabbit he’d caught the other day was still hopping around… maybe it was a little big for the hawks to get? He contemplated and figured he’d get one of the barn rats to replace the rabbit. He started checking his structure making sure it was sound before disappointedly walking away from it. He didn’t know how he would handle a wild bird anyway with their sharp talons and beaks. Well he’d figure that out when he got to that point for now, all he had was a towel he’d found in his room and it was hanging over his shoulder loosely. He knew that it was better to blind the bird before picking it up, for some reason it would always calm them. He rubbed the pouch that was at his side… his new addition would be coming soon anyway, he reassured himself. Then he’d have his hands full just feeding the little thing, and once it was old enough teaching it to hunt and take care of itself as well as the members of the pack, not in full of course. It was a cool day but warm enough for him to enjoy it so he was heading slowly back to the hotel.
