Dixie and Wayne had returned yesterday, bringing with them a gift for the Sole that he would never have expected. They had come to him bearing a young owlet. It was such a strange animal to offer to another but the Knight headed Dixie’s warning that he best take care of the little thing, besides he knew that Neela raised birds so maybe they made good companions? The giant was frankly confused by the entire situation but knew that with a sprained wing , which Dixie and Wayne had made a make shift split for, that the little owl could not possibly fend for itself.
Even though the friendly giant liked to put out the image that he did not care for other animals and he was above them as a strong alpha male, after a full day of the little owlet’s screeching and odd head bobbing it had finally settled on the fact that Jazper was not particularly interested in harming it. That or the little thing had lost it’s voice. With the sun high in the sky the coal male scooped up the untrusting owlet and brought her to the gardens, a shaded place full of greens and beautiful flowers where it could wander around near by while he found some bugs to feed to her.
The soft fall of the small water falls in the back ground seemed to have a calming effect as the barn owl simply walked around clicking it’s beak in boredom. At long last the warrior managed to scoop up a small cricket. Nervously, and with a slight disgust he dangled it out to the raptor that quickly gobbled it up with pleasure. It was then that a familiar scent became more dominant and the Alpha began to panic in embarrassment as Aly came into view. Moving to stand in front of the small owl he waved awkwardly, “Uh –Hi there Aly. Didn’t think anyone would be coming back here…” His words tailed off just in time for the young bird to hop it’s way between the Sole’s legs without him knowing.
