∞ 61: Expected and unexpected [written/voice]

His death was expected. I can't help but wonder if the environment quickened or slowed his death in any way; certainly the extraction method was different, but the deterioration afterward...

He will return. He was doubtful of it, but I'm sure he will return. How they stabilize his body without the Rune is another matter.



[voice]

Rune... Hn.

...I like how I find out my owl had owlets three weeks after the fact.

Owls nest in your home?

[written]

[chikaidestroyer]

No. I have an owl that lives in the house. Apparently he lives a double life of sorts.

[written]

[silversnowfall]

I see.

[chikaidestroyer]

Do you? I can't imagine it sounding particularly everyday in nature.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Have you seen them? Are they cute?

[chikaidestroyer]

...I've seen them... They resemble gray puffballs. They aren't flying yet.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I wanna see! I wanna see!

[chikaidestroyer]

Ah... You could either come over or I can bring the book over to their nest. They've made their nest in a woodpecker hole.

Owlets?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I believe that's the proper term for baby owls. Rune just calls them his "brood."

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I knew what the term meant. I was just a little surprised.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

He doesn't talk much, so it's a surprise for us all.

[Voice]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

Ah. I seem to recall you keeping an owl.

...I would think the screeching of the owlets would alert anyone.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I hate to say it, but I wasn't even aware he had a mate, let alone owlets. He doesn't say much about himself.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

How could you not be aware of owlets?

[chikaidestroyer]

They weren't born on the premises, so we don't hear them. The father didn't bother to mention until now.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but didn't the guy ever bring his mate home or anything?

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...Owlets?

[chikaidestroyer]

That's right. They look vaguely furfur-like at the moment.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

That's interesting.

Did you find them in your house? It'd make more sense if they were outside, though.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I didn't know you had owls.

[chikaidestroyer]

I wouldn't say I do. Perhaps a singular owl, but he isn't really a pet.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

What is he, then?

[amber-arcangel.livejournal.com]

What is a...'owlet'?

[chikaidestroyer]

A baby owl. Rather newly hatched ones.
