He was excited. Those three words described the mood Kennedy Escalante was in. He was writing the last letter to his mom announcing his arrival back home. He had written it so fast that he hoped his mom would be able to understand his hand writing. He really hoped that his mom had forgotten about him being grounded because really, he didn't want to spend his summer washing dishes.

He rolled the parchment and tied it with a green ribbon, but faltered when something at his thigh began jumping and shaking out of control. Kennedy placed a hand on it and tried to hold it still. He didn't want Hilbert to jump out of his pocket and have a hard landing. He took the egg out of his pocket and held it securely in his hands. What was up with it. It was almost like if it was excited. Was it happy to be at the Owlery?

Maybe... Maybe it was a metallic owl growing inside the egg? Nah, that's too crazy of a thought.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed the egg was cold. He cocked his head to the side. The day was pretty warm, so why was it cold? It was probably its temperature just going down. He withdrew his wand and directed it at Hilbert. "Argentum Calidus," he said. The egg's temperature returned back to normal, but it still kept fidgeting in Kennedy's hands.

Dang it, Hilbert.
