Alexandra entered the owlery with Lorcan and the girl whose name she had already forgotten in tow. Blast she was so bad with names! She let go of Lorcan's hand and whistled loudly, calling Wasabi. She looked around for any sign of her. She began to worry that she was still not back and then the great bird came swooping down from high atop a perch and landed on her shoulder, hooting loudly. There was indeed a note tied around her ankle and she squealed in delight as she removed it and stroked her owl. Turning to Lorcan she said, "it's from Auntie Dora!" She was so ecstatic about the letter that she could barely stand it!
