Falconry day! Falconry day!

[sharpasafawkes]

[today on one of the more open areas there's a helpful set of pamphlets, clearly made for kids about the ~wonders of falconry~ perches for the birds, species info and all sorts of fun facts!

...now only if the birds themselves didn't look so annoyed.]

[solipsismmortal]

You got a name, buddy?

[sharpasafawkes]

[...

Welp, no hiding it]

I thought you already knew.

[solipsismmortal]

Was wonderin' how long you were gonna try an' pretend.

[sharpasafawkes]

I figured you had an idea from the start.

[solipsismmortal]

'Course.

[reaches behind Shaun's head and lifts back a few feathers]

Some things are hard ta hide, even when yer a ball of feathers.

[lets go and smooths them back]

[sharpasafawkes]

[Not... sure if want?]

It's... not too horrible, at least I can fly like this.

[solipsismmortal]

Can you?

[sharpasafawkes]

[flying up in a... pretty well done circle and then landing back down on the perch]

I like to think so.
