He would get treats for his delivery though, right?
It didn't take him long to find the man he was delivering the letter to, hooting softly as he circled the man, scooping out a perch. That table would do. His wings spread out further, and he carefully landed on the tables ledge; his leg went out instinctively, letter and small pouch tied to it as he staaaaaaaaaaared at the Wesley head man.
Treat now? Quote:

Oh that would be bad. "Yes your right and really i had no idea about that and i guess congratulations though i don't really know you but congratulations anyway. And since it my first day i am sorry i am woefully ignorant on everything." There was a.....bird in the building. An owl, to be exact, and Wesley wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to carry on a conversation with a man and deal with an owl at the same time. Obviously the owl was for him, since... he did know enough about creatures to recognize it and its circling and stuff as a post office owl, but he also wasn't expecting any news so..... should he call Level 4 to come collect it?
Turning his gaze from the bird back to the man, Wes nodded. "Yeah, thanks," he answered, his eyes flicking back to the owl as Demetrius rambled a bit, "I don't really know you either but welcome to the Ministry, and no need to apologize. It's a lot to take in." Take the bird for example. Was he supposed to go fetch it? Wes hated the damn things, to be honest, but with the distraction hovering in the corner of his eye, he wasn't going to be able to talk at all. "Would you excuse me a moment?" He was fully making eye contact with the staring bird now. "I seem to have an owl."
Not that he owned the ugly thing, he just had to deal with it. He strolled over to the bird and its table and, hoping to avoid getting any poo on himself, reached out his hand to snatch away the letter. His dark brown eyes scanned the message quickly, and then made note of the pouch on the bird's leg.
Hmm. Untying that as well, Wes weighed it in his hand a moment before slipping it into his pocket and flicking his wand into his hand. "Thank you?" he wasn't sure what he was supposed to give the bird, other than give it a reply to the letter. "Er, here." He used his wand to send a five-word reply to the man and then re-tied that to the bird's leg.
Wes was left staring at the thing's big eyes and felt compelled to give it a little pat on the head. "You can go now. Good job." Well done, bird, well done. Ish. He nodded at the creature and then quickly walked back to Demetrius, muttering a hurried excuse.
"Sorry, something just came up... ah, did you have any questions about the Ministry before I go?" Because yes, he had places to be, but since it was the guy's first day, and since he did work for his soon-to-be wife, Wes figured he might as well play nice. For five minutes, anyway.
