William received Gabe's note from a harried-looking owl as soon as he stepped out of Joe's suite, which probably meant the message had been waiting for a while. The messenger was also Gabe's personal owl, which meant that she probably had another half-dozen deliveries to make tonight after this one. "Sorry," he murmured to the bird, but he didn't have any treats in his pockets, so he got nipped anyway when he took the letter.
It was almost midnight and he was exhausted, as they all were this week, but anything coming from Gabe was a priority and William had volunteered. "Want a ride back down?" he offered in a last-ditch attempt to placate the ruffled owl. He received a baleful look and distinctly unimpressed hoot in response, but she fluttered up onto his shoulder a minute later and only dug her claws in slightly once he started walking, so he considered himself forgiven.
Gabe's door was closed, so William rapped on it lightly before he entered. The owl took off as soon as he pushed the door open, winging over to a more comfortable perch. William closed the door behind him and leaned back against it, looking at Gabe.
"You summoned?"
