Holding the owl up so Em could see her so she could see the bird who was giving the jerky bits a good chewing
Cleaned up...? Oh. Yeah.
But how? Surely that would mean walking all the way back to the castle, then all the way back down, with no guarantee that she wouldn't simply get all bloodied up again!
Nope, she'll wait for Saylen - if it takes all year!
"Thanks Mikey - but I might as well stay as I am... I'll have a good proper bath when I get back to the castle..." she smiled.
At least the bird seemed to have more superficial wounds than anything else - mixed with shock would have produced her earlier stupour.
"Thank goodness she's eating!"
