2nd Feather [commentlog]

[morningfeather]

[There's an owl in the Keep. A rather ruffled looking Barn owl, to be specific.

Te Ata had been getting restless on the ground, so she had shifted to her owl form. She had been slightly worried at how long it had taken and the energy it had expended that she had tried to shift back almost immediately.

Rather shocked at being stuck as an owl, Te Ata had gathered up her scattered clothes and hid them away before taking to the sky to scout out the Keep.

Feel free to bug the owl.]

[Te Ata coos in agreement and bobs her head at Aara in a "nice to meet you too".]

[Another happy grin.]

I would fly with you, wing sister, had I not finally gotten into this form. [She tilts her head slightly, considering.]

I would also not wish to frighten a new friend.

[She does not know if this beautiful owl can take other forms, but if she can understand her, then that is enough for Aara.]

[morningfeather]

[Te Ata tilts her head curiously. Frighten her?

[Aara sees that head tilt, and grins a little, leaning closer.]

I'm a bit... bigger than you are, feathered friend. And I am no bird, by any means.

[morningfeather]

[Te Ata blinks and then bobs her head in understanding.]

[angha-firebird.livejournal.com]

So you are enjoying yourself, then?

[morningfeather]

[Te Ata bobs her head and chirps.]

[A light, carefree laugh.]

I am glad.

I am curious, winged friend. Do you hail from some noble owl bloodline? How is it you can understand me, I wonder?

[morningfeather]

[Te Ata tilts her head and then swivels her head to look away. Sorry, she's not allowed to tell.]

[angha-firebird.livejournal.com]

[Ah. It was like that, was it? With an open, friendly grin, Aara leans closer to murmur quietly.]

Okay. Your secret is safe with me, no matter what your story is.

[She leans back once more, inhales deeply, and debates if this pretty owl preferred silence. Aara supposed if she did, she could have flown away.]

I was that way once. Before I came here.

[Aara looks out into the distance.]

Things... changed here, though. I changed. The rigid rules of my old Clan... no longer seemed to apply. So... I might understand, in a small way.

[A small grin.]

Then again, I may not.

[morningfeather]

[Te Ata turns back to look at Aara, then chirps and bobs again to show that she understands.

She kind of doubts that she'll ever just ignore her laws, but it's nice to know someone else understands.]

[angha-firebird.livejournal.com]

[Her grin widens at the nod.]

Well, it was nice to meet you. I believe I should check on a few friends of mine, if you do not mind. Things have been... tough here, recently.

[She gives a small nod and curtsy.]

Thank you for listening to my ramble. If you ever need assistance, please ask for Aara. That is what I am called.

[morningfeather]

[Te Ata bobs to show she understands. She coos and then turns away to preen her feathers.]

Until we meet again.

[Aara gives a small smile and slight wave, then turns to leave so she can check on Xanth.]
