Default Visit with your Owl

This spot of the owlry is reserved for those people caring for and visiting their owls (or the school owls, if you don't have your own).

"If I were to go for the summer, I doubt she'd let me leave." His voice had gone quiet, the words matter-of-fact. She would keep him there. And there, he'd not be an adult until he was nineteen. There would be no leaving before then, he'd be a runaway. "She wants me to live there with her for good."

Which he'd definitely not be doing. A grin crept onto his face as Kellen turned the page this way and that, as if it would make the letters magically change into something decipherable.

"Who's cheating. I've been able to read this since I was three." Flicking his wrist, his wand appeared in his hand and Raiden tapped the page; the hangul rearranged itself into stilted English. With a frown, he tapped it again. "Sometimes the translations don't come out quite right the first time."

Text Cut: Raiden's Letter

Raiden,

I really wish you'd answer my letters more often. I've gotten maybe five the entire term, it would be nice if you'd write more. Then again, maybe you are and they're just not making it here...

Have you put more thought into coming to live here, with me and your grandparents? They're worried about you, you know. All alone in England; you may be nearly an adult, but that still doesn't make it alright you know. You should be with your family.

Auntie Tae Yeon says hello. Her baby is almost two now. She could really use a cousin to look up to as she grows!

Please, Raiden. Just think about it. You've said no adamantly, but I'm sure you'd really like it here if you gave it a chance.

I miss you.

Love always,
Mom


Raiden held another owl treat aloft, waiting for one to approach, his eyes carefully trained on Kellen's face.

Two words leapt out at him immediately. "All alone?" Kellen looked over at Raiden, "Your dad isn't... gee, I'm sorry."

He looked back at the letter, "She sounds nice, from what I can read here, but if you're already established at school here she should understand that. We..." His eyes went back to Raiden, "We kind of have the same problem, don't we? Only mine's just for the summer."

Mary Tsu had been watching Raiden with the pellets, yes she had, and now she hurled her fluffy little body towards the treat he was holding and snatched it from his hand, adjusting in mid-air and landing herself on his hand with a hoot that was garbled by the pellet she was nearly swallowing whole.

Kellen grinned at his weird little bird and suggested, "You could always come camping with me and my father. Could be fun?"

"Huh?" His dad wasn't wh- oooooooh. Ah. Raiden had forgotten his mother's penchant for pretending his father didn't exist. "No, no. The old man's definitely, definitely home. He works at the Foreign Ministry or something? I just know his job involves translations." He paused as an owl leapt onto his hand, separating another pellet and holding it up so she could have another just when she was done that one. "They... don't like each other. She pretends he's not around. Actually, he and I spent the summer at his coworker's summer home."

Ugh. His ribs hurt even remembering it. Most of the summer had gone by decently, but... there had been that one incident. His stomach had bruised so badly. Idly, he wondered how Bessie and Jessie were doing before remembering that he was actually having a conversation. Right here. Right now. Good job with that attention span, Raiden.

"I can't say she doesn't care... she's just caring for all the wrong reasons. She doesn't seem to understand that I have a life here, and... friends and this school and all that. She wants me to just up and leave it."

Camping. Camping. Haha. Sweet Merlin. His summer holidays had hardly counted as camping but Raiden was still fairly sure he'd had enough of outdoorsy things to last him a lifetime.

"Might be preferable to fighting with her about Korea all summer." And his father was actually supposed to go on business trips over the holidays, if he understood correctly. No WAY was he going to let the old man leave him at his friend's summer home alone. Bessie and Jessie would probably assault him again or something.

"Oh." Well, that made sense too, though it wasn't something Kellen had any experience with. His parents were perfectly happy with each other. They were just... perfectly happy with each other away from home. "Well if that's her attitude on it she shouldn't be surprised if she finds herself waiting until you're an adult." So says Kellen Stern.

Kellen grinned, "Might be. How do you feel about bears and tents?" Because he'd looked through the old photo albums his father kept. He knew. When Frederick Stern went camping, he left everything about civilization behind him except a wand and a map. Well, and pants.

"That'll be another three years or so," he said lightly, bringing the owl on his hand a little bit lower. Hmmm. Pretty owl. "Over there, you're not really an adult until you're nineteen. If I went back at seventeen, she could keep me there." He paused. "Actually it would probably be better for me if I went there. Considering every time I've left my dorm this term, something bad's happened."

He'd ended up getting transformed into a half-kneazle, half-human creature. Ended up stuck in a tree. Professor Lupa had taken control of his body and made him apparate, something he couldn't even do under normal circumstances. He'd come across Madiison after she'd been abused horribly by someone. Gotten into two separate fights with Cela. Gotten de-aged into a five-year-old boy. There was probably more, but as it kept accumulating, he forgot more and more.

Bears? Bears?!

"That sounds like a horrible idea, considering." If the year was going this badly, the summer was bound to try and out-do it, wasn't it? "I'm lucky I haven't broken any bones or ended up transfigured into a small animal yet, bears sound like a terrible plan."

Mary fixed her large and unsettling eyes on Raiden, hooting with the owl equivalent of a giggle.

Kellen laughed, "You see my problem? I really want to spend time with my father, but.. it'd help if you'd seen that movie. Watch it this summer and think of a real live man acting like that. And dragging his son around the wilderness. And pity me."

He supposed the problem was that deep down, he really, truly wanted to spend more time with his father. Just... was a game of football and a trip to the beach too much to ask for?

"We... don't really have one of those television sets." Er. He'd have to find some other way to see it? Yes. Then... he'd certainly understand what Kellen was on about.

Maybe.

The owl was making funny noises. Raiden held another pellet out to her and tried to not look at her staring eyes. STARING. Eeep.

"I think I might pity you already... just for the wilderness part. Bears? Those things aren't small, Kellen."

Oh yeah. Raiden had been to a zoo in his lifetime.

"And they've big teeth too. You... should probably take up sprinting."

Jecca entered the room, and she saw Ruffy, her beloved owl... Ruffy looked sad as ever. Jecca felt so guilty of not visiting her owl. She come closer to her, throw a hug and promise to visit her even twice a week.... Jecca can see that Ruffy got a lot better than sad then.

Cleo hadnt really taken a trip up to the Owerly.Something she never thought she'd need to do,well that was until now.She ran up the stairs,despite not being aloud to anyway.She got to the top,to see that there was already some other students up there.Cleo blushed as realised someone might have seen her running up the stairs.She didnt want to get into trouble,even though it was her middle name.

She saw a girl,about her age with her owl.She loves the colour of it.So she walked over to them."Wow,your owl is so beautiful!"she said,smiling at the girl."Im Cleo"she said,smiling

Mary gobbled the pellet down and hooted some more, making her way from Raiden's hand to his shoulder. When she got there, she wiggled her tail feathers back and forth and let out another hoot, just for good measure.

Kellen sighed, but there was a smirk beginning to play about his face, "Sprinting, rock climbing, scrambling over rapids... it's going to be the whole deal. Are you sure you don't want to come? It could be an adventure, and my father is allowed to use magic..."

He glanced at the small owl on Raiden's shoulder, "Mary, stop being a creeper."

Raiden made no show of looking at the people entering, but he was definitely aware they were there. If being stuck with these kneazle ears for so long had taught him anything, it was to pay attention.

Attention that was currently being snatched away by the owl he'd been feeding, as it moved to his shoulder. And ruffled out its feathers some more.

"You're not a hawk, love. You're an owl." Raiden held his hand in front of his shoulder, neck stretching slightly to get his head away from the featherball. Didn't need her snatching at his ear or something. "Mary? This one's yours then? She does this often?"

...did he want to come on Kellen's trip with him? With bears? He stared at his friend, somewhat amused. He'd actually never been proper camping before, what with being in the hospital all the time. Maybe...

Daphne would kill him for it though.

"Possibly. You're inviting me along to save me to pain of having to pity you?"

Hehe. It could be a pity party then! They could pity themselves AND each other as they ran through rapids (or whatever he'd said) and away from bears.

Kellen nodded, "That's Mary. Mary Tsu. She's always like that, and don't worry; she only bites girls." Mary hooted, rubbing her little beak against Raiden's neck before fluttering back to her perch. Once there, she preened herself immediately, fluttering her owl-lashes at Raiden.

"The pain of having to pity me? Sure, if that's what you want to go with, let's go with that." Kellen grinned. Following his father into near-death situations didn't seem nearly as bad if he'd get to do it with one of his friends there with him.

"She's..." Weird. Confusing? Touching his NECK? Raiden righted himself after she'd bird-nuzzled him and took off, staring at her as she did the owl equivalent of eye-flirting. "Well. She's just lovely isn't she."

Merlin help him, even the birds were eyeing him this term. Raiden rubbed the spot on his neck where her beak and touched and focused his eyes on Kellen, because Mary Tsu was slightly unnerving.

"Your father wouldn't mind your inviting of a friend on what's kinda a 'father-son' trip?" he asked wryly. "I'd... have to get the old man's permission. He'll likely say yes, but I don't doubt he'll be unhappy if I'm gone the entirety of the summer."

He paused, then grinned slightly.

"Better idea than Korea is though. Much more fancy the idea of being eaten by a bear than I do being stuck there for three years."

Kellen snickered at Raiden's description of Mary, "Just lovely indeed."

"I'm not sure that he would," he thought about it. "I think... the novelty of a father-son trip would wear out on him pretty fast. He's much more likely to keep in good spirits if he has multiple people to," he almost said 'boss around', but instead said, "interact with. And I mean, this is all still very up-in-the-air; for all I know he might up and cancel. Still," he grinned at the idea of suffering with a friend instead of by himself, "if you're actually up for it I'll include it in my letter."

"If he wouldn't mind, and he's likely to not get me killed, then I think it's a fun idea." Camping with Kellen and Kellen's animated character of a father? As long as a bear didn't come after them, it couldn't hurt could it? And he'd... never actually been on a real trip like that with anyone. It would probably be a good summer if he spent the entire thing with his friend.

"I doubt he'd cancel on his own son," Raiden added belatedly, the doubt in his voice betraying his own lie. It was possible that he would, but... it didn't seem probable. From the letter, it seemed like he did really want to spend time with his son.

"You never know," was the closest Kellen got to admitting it was somewhat of a common occurrence with his father. Then again, most of those cancellations had been to events proposed by Kellen. Now that his father was the one suggesting - demanding? - one, maybe he'd actually follow through.

Kellen tipped his head in the direction of the exit, "You want to get something to eat from the Great Hall?"
