Theo shook his head. 'None other than being a rare breed,' he said with a shrug. 'But then that you can see on her appearance,' he added. He watched as Penny worked with her, seeing her sit stoically watching the entire thing. If Athena liked the attention, Akela tried to look as if nothing strange was happening at all.
The procedure, which Theo was more interested in however, was quick and easy enough. It was also fairly easy to fool. He had not even shown his papers - perhaps because he was well known - but he was not sure that was why. Coming looking like someone else would be easy, and in doing so it would be easy to have an owl marked with the wrong name.
Just to make sure he'd have to make sure to get papers of who he "was", though first he needed to get the owls. He'd have to think of who to contact for that.
