She usually borrowed her friends' owls but she didn't see any of them there right now.
Her dark brown eyes were set upon a barn owl which looked less fierce compared to some. "I like this one.'' The Eagle pointed to the owl which seemed to be watching her with its great, big eyes. "Hello. Do you think I could borrow you for a delivery?'' She held up her letter and waited for a reaction from the owl. If it wasn't bothered with her, then she would ask Gabriel to help select another.
And there he was Jo!
Finally! He gave his bird a eye
"What took you so long and where have you been. I was just about to use one of the school owls" he spoke to his bird as the bird landed on his arm.
"It's a He" Gab smiled looking at the girl
"You can use mine. If you want?" he offered as she asked him about his opinion on the school owls. "I've never sent a letter before using a school owl. I don’t have much idea on that" he said apologetically. But he was sure Jojo would be up to the job. He was a good bird other than not coming on time.
"He is a good bird. He'll take your letter." he said attaching his own letter on the bird's leg.
"Take this to mum and dad" he told the bird and kissed his head. "Hey do you want to send yours? But then you have to have a treat for him. He wouldn't go unless you promise a treat" he told Rachel with a grin on his face.
