Evening Visit to the Owlery.
Who: Adrian and Justin.
What: Delivering letters. Clumsiness.
When: Tuesday evening.
Where: Owlery.
Warnings: Slight language.
Status: Complete.
Adrian's mother had written to him a few days ago and he had put off the return letter until the last second, of course. He was in the Owlery now, his footsteps quiet as he tried not alert the attentions of the many owls perched all around him. Some of the birds stared but most of them seemed to be sleeping, and after trudging through straw and droppings Adrian finally found a school owl who would deliver his letter.
After tying the letter to the owl's foot, Adrian sent the bird off silently before moving to leave the drafty tower room... but he paused just outside the doorway to stare out into the distance. The night was very dark but the stars still twinkled brightly, and he crossed his arms over his chest before exhaling softly, blocking the door now without meaning to... but his thoughts wandered and his intention to move out of the way slipped away from him.
