Eddy stepped carefully through the door, Buddy the bat hanging from his forearm and squeaking a blistering scolding. "I said I'm sorry, Buddy. Geez! It's not like I left you in the owlry on purpose. I just thought all the winged creatures went up there. I'm sure they didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
Buddy made a sound that was suspiciously similar to 'pfft' and then folded his wings over his head - an obvious indication the conversation was closed and he was not the least bit mollified by Eddy's excuses.
Heaving an aggrieved sigh, Eddy gave up. You just couldn't argue with a bat. How was he to know that bats and owls were competitors? Or that owls could be so mean - really, all that pooping on Buddy's cage was so uncalled for! It had been heck to clean off.
"Hey guys," Eddy sidled up to Cale and Valentine. Surely they had an interesting poop-free first day and Eddy hoped they'd be up for sharing.
