He held out another owl nut for Wasabi and then one for Athena. He laughed. "Well, bribery never hurt, did it? She's a bit nervous around the dragon lady since Gran trapped her in the pantry. I found her hooting and almost pulling her feathers out. She doesn't like going home." He smiled at Lexi and held out a third nut for Wasabi and Athena. Athena nipped his finger affectionately. "I've got a job for you." He took a letter and the drawing that Larrisa had done, along with a leather strap and tied them to her leg. "They're for Mum, ok?" He carried Athena to the window and then watched as she soared off. He turned and looked at Lexi, looking happy and... "Beautiful. Umm, owls I mean. Aren't they?" The blushing beetroot was back.

Lexi beamed at Lorcan and said, "I hadn't heard from her since term began, we are really close. She's my favorite family member!" She laughed and then added, "You know, besides my parents." She stroked Wasabi's head absent mindedly as she looked through the windows of the Owlery. It was absolutely beautiful this time of year.

Lexi followed Lorcan with her eyes as he walked to the window to set Athena off on her mission. She spoiled her owl a bit more and then set her off out the windows to go hunt. "Auntie Dora just moved back from the United States recently. I had sensed that there was something wrong with her, but she wouldn't say. She is a Metamorphmagus, but she had been having problems with her transformations last I had seen her. It had me concerned. She seems to be back to usual bubbly self now though." Lexi said as she looked out over the grounds.
