[sounds of clucking and squawking from a pack of upset chickens, followed by the yowl of a cat and the hissing of a particular venomous spider]

Uh, Mistress Weatherwax? Lyra an' I-KATRINA GET DOWN OFF THE ROOSTER-we found the chickens, but it was too late in the day to bring them around to you an-Hold on..

They needed a home, Arion! They were homeless chickens!

[jollygoodform]

The chicken coop's not built yet!

[jollygoodform]

It wasn't your apartment, Arion! And don't worry, I'm going to clean up afterwards! Besides, if you're worried about eating off our table, you don't EAT anyway!

[ooc: Jolly fails to realize what the big deal is.]

[jollygoodform]

Why ouch? I didn't lay a finger on you! And you'd had better. Or I WILL complain!

...Well, Mr. Dresden's new enough that he feels awkward imposing on people still, and the Princess is annoyed but not angry so far as I could tell...

...And I WILL clean it up!

...Do you want any eggs to take home with you?

[jollygoodform]

Not if we use....what's that word for the candle-burning stuff....Incest? Yeah, we'll do that.

I don't know. I'dve put them in the refridger-machine, but Mr. Dresden broke it today.

[jollygoodform]

...Incense. S'what I said. Right.

Oh, they're not rotten eggs, they're definitely fresh ones!

[jollygoodform]

Well, it's sort of hard to say. Some've been here since last night, and others just arrived a few minutes ago.

Usually you can tell by the temperature. The warmer the egg, the shorter time it's been out, I should think.

[jollygoodform]

Well, technically, they did have a home, Lyra and I found them in the barn outside the city. But Mistress Weatherwax wanted them for her own use so we snuck them out, but then it got late and I said why don't we bring them to my home because they probably want to sleep somewhere.
