After a morning full of baking hot sunshine and difficult barre exercises, Duck found herself nearly jogging down the street just to feel the air moving around her. Despite the heat, she was in a fairly good mood--the teacher had complimented her on how hard she was working, and hadn't even threatened to marry her once!--and that mood only improved when she rounded a corner and spotted Rue.

"Oh, Rue, hi--"

And then she spotted the raven diving and weaving around Rue's head, and let out a startled, horrified shriek.

Rue turned very suddenly, body tense and panicking until she saw who it was. Of course Duck would show up right now, when Wolfgang was at his worst behaved. She looked over at him. The raven, just as startled as she had been, was sitting on top of a lamp post, uneasily watching Duck. Rue sighed.

"You're bigger than him, you know," she said, standing up and brushing herself off. "He's more afraid of you than you are of him."

"H-He's watching you!" Duck managed, pointing at him for emphasis. "Did he come here from Gold Crown Town? What does he want?"

"He's mine," Rue said simply. "And he's from here. I found him when he fell out of his nest."

As if to calm Duck, Rue turned and motioned to Wolfgang, holding out her arm. He flew down to perch on it immediately, quite glad she was letting him on her when a stranger was near.
