Owlery https://s26.postimg.cc/3rt4nvl3t/owlery-banner.jpg At the very top of the West Tower is where all owls, whether belonging to you individually or the school, reside. As you ascend the tower and its many stairs, constant hooting can be heard and you can feel the temperature gradually dropping. Once you open the door, you can feel a draft blowing straight at you because there is no glass where the windows would be. A few owls flutter in and out of the windows as the door closes. |
This was the worst place in the ENTIRE castle. Nina was absolutely sure of it. She hated the owlery so much!!! And hated Navid even more for being the reason why she had to frequent it every other day. No, she didn't hate him. She couldn't ever do that, even when they weren't on speaking terms. She loved him far too deeply to ever find hate in her heart for him. But she did hate the owls. That much she knew for a fact. She was also very afraid of them. Which is why she stood at the base of the stairs, mustering up the strength to go inside. It wouldn't be that bad. It wouldn't be that bad. It wouldn't be that bad. |

It was certainly not a place she had thought about running into Nina Castillo at. It was kind of incredible though, in a place of poop and feathers, she looked even more beautiful. Deciding to keep that thought to herself however, the brunette came to a stop behind her - and looked inside the place from over the girl's shoulder, "did you forget why you came here?" |

She was still working up the courage to venture inside when Missa came up behind her and gave her a scare! The Slytherin managed not to let out a squeak, but she did jump in place before turning around. "Of course not," she straightened her back, rolling back her shoulders in an attempt to look far more confident than she felt. "I have a letter." Missa's question was insulting and Nina wasn't pleased. Though she also wasn't about to go inside. ".... You can go ahead," she took a step to the side, giving the girl a sweet smile that she didn't entirely mean. |

So, nodding, the brunette returned the smile and without questioning WHY the Slytherin wasn't going in too, Missa entered the place. Reaching inside her pocket, she pulled out the letter addressed to her dad, before looking around for a suitable owl for the job. "Excited for the holidays?" she asked, a small mindless conversation did no harm, right? |

She watched quietly as Missa walked in without any problem or hesitation. It made Nina feel a bit silly for standing outside, but she really wasn't about to go inside. Not yet. "Extremely," she answered back without missing a beat. A lot of big things were happening this holiday. Honestly, it could not come soon enough. She was never this eager for the break, but Nina was counting down days at this point. "Do you have any plans?" |
Quote:
"Not really. Christmas holidays are very family oriented, so it will just mostly be that" she said honestly, - no need to be mysterious for no reason after all. Deciding on a snowy Owl - the girl carefully approached one, and pulled out a small treat for him - gently gesturing him closer. "Are you debating sending this letter off?" she asked, after a moment's pause. Maybe Missa could offer some help in deciding if she should or not - if that is infact Nina's problem right now. |

She took the last few steps so that she was just behind the doorway, still not planning to venture any further inside. Not yet, anyway. Maybe she would when Missa left because doing so now would be absolutely mortifying. "Um," Nina almost considered lying, but instead shook her head. "I.... Don't like owls." This was, in fact, the truth. It was also the mild way to put it. She did not just dislike them, they absolutely terrified her. |
Quote:
Although her hands were now busy petting and feeding the snowy owl in front of her, she did not miss when Nina finally moved. Oh. Oh. "Do you want me to help you?" she offered, with no judgement in her tone. "It can be .... daunting when there are so many of them around you" |
Quote:
With her new view from behind the entryway she could see how gentle Missa was with the owls. If they weren't owls Nina may have even found it sweet. But they were owls and therefore there was nothing sweet about them. The last time she had tried, she was attacked by an onset of them! Asking for help, however, was ridiculously mortifying. The embarrassment was written plainly all over her face upon Missa's offer. Nina wanted to turn it down, but she also knew that this was Missa. Even if they weren't exactly friends, she knew the girl to be trustworthy. It was the next thing she said that made Nina nod her head. "Yes," her voice was a little softer this time. "Yes, please." |
