Was there a tracking system in place on owl posts? You'd think that would be one of the things the redhead would know. It wasn't as if she was born yesterday. For Merlin's sake, she was nearly thirty - okay, so it was like two years away ~~she wasn't going to count the fact that she was turning 29 SOON, nope, nope~~. Point is, she ought to know these things. And her cousins ought to respond to her. She had advice and experience they could use, without having to go through that awkward conversation of things with their parents, cause who wanted to talk to their parents on things??

......

o.o

The man. At the front desk. She hadn't seen him in like ... well, actually she could pinpoint exactly when she last saw him. Her sixth year closing feast. She ought to say something, but suddenly she felt speechless and completely at a loss for why she was even here. Why was she here? And forget about her fourteen year old cousins, because it felt almost as if SHE was the fourteen year old.

It was Nuria's turn on his shoulder today, though the rotation had become a bit skewed as the work he was attempted to do at the front desk required a more disciplined feathered friend on his shoulder and the elderly great gray owl was just the ticket. Though presently she was proving to be a bit of a distraction with her affectionate nips to his curls and his occasional appeasing of her needs by offering one of his fingers for her to nip at before he returned to his whittling.

It was actually Nuria who alerted him to the presence of a customer, his own attention a bit too keenly focused on his instrument as it cut through the wood like a knife through hot butter, nearly nicking his finger from the sharp tug to the collar of his jacket. "We need to work on your people skills," he chuckled to the owl, bopping her head with his own forehead before glancing up over at the woman.....who was staring at him.

.......um?

Had one of the owls left some dropping in his hair again? He had a bit of a love hate relationship with that - one of the few non-wizard-made products he did not have a heart attack over touching his curls.

".....you all right there?" he inquired warily as he set his tools down, offering Nuria another quick glance while she ruffled her feathers.
