Eris thought it over. Either this was the owl's name or it's
owner's name? She gently extended her hand to the bird, silently
asking permission to touch it.
With a smile, Eris began to gently stroke the owl's lovely
feathers. It was quite the beautiful bird. Her eyes lit up, maybe
she could take care of it in the meantime!
Eris was almost to her feet in an instant, stopping herself just in
time due to her new owl friend. She had to remind herself that this
place was new and would take some getting used to. She looked at
the owl kindly, a small smile on her face at the sight of the new
friend.
Eris yelped in surprise. A lioness?! Well, this was a circus like
establishment... She quickly checked on her feathered friend,
keeping an eye on the lioness just in case.
The lioness had colorful rainbow pigment in her fur, and she
approached the two, her hot breath veering closer.. But at the
sudden shout of a man she shied away, hiding behind Jester who had
come out of seemingly nowhere. "Naughty Linda."
Eris breathed a sigh of relief. Thank the stars... And the owl
seemed to be alright. She bowed to the Jester, "Thank you sir."
Returning to standing, she tilted her head, "Is this one of the
other members? Or has... Linda... been here for a while?"
Jester scratched Linda behind the ear, and as he did her tail
flicked to flick something toward Eris. It was burned and sort of
damp, but it was an old book. And Jester just stared at it.
Eris locked her gaze on the book, curious about it. Glancing up,
she noticed Jester's gaze on the book as well. She gently picked up
the book, not opening it in case it was sensitive material. She
looked back up to Jester. "Is this yours, sir?"
