Ivory timidly set foot into the owlery, casting a weary glance overhead. Back home, where pigeons ran amock, it wasn't quite the smartest move to walk under a room full of birds for fear of being well, bombarded by unwelcome falling debris. High in the rafters and on perches and roots everywhere were owls of all sorts, but surprisingly there did not seem to be a bit of droppings anywhere. Marveling at the sheer cleanliness of the tower, she took another step forward.

Oh, how beautiful some were. Like that small elf owl that was nesting on some rafter...and oh the pretty ones near the windows.

For a fleeting moment she wondered if it would've been a better idea to ask for a small owl from her parents, it sure would've fit in better around here, or at least help her to.

A small squawk and flutter of wings made her glance up as the reason for her visit swooped down in a quick dive from the highest rafter. Just when she thought her dear Gavin was going to splat against the floor, he pulled up at the last second and came to rest on her shoulder.

Letting out a sigh of relief, she turned her head as he nuzzled her cheek. She watched as he slowly furled and unfurled his black speckled wings against his snow white body. For a Gyr falcon, he was small for his size but that suited her just fine seeing as she wasn't exactly so tall herself. Coming in at about 4'3", the last thing she needed to worry about was an oversized bird.

As if reading her thoughts, Gavin let out a loud squawk, right in her ear.

"Oh, Gavin. Gosh, don't be upset. You're not oversized..." This obviously seemed to upset him more because he simply squawked again.

"Okay fine...just...well you're perfectly proportioned and exactly the right size?"

He let our a few chirps at that one that caused her to smile.

So what if he wasn't an owl, he was exactly right for her at the moment.
