Re: [Carriage House: Raven & Atticus]
[Watched the bird while Matt worked, while Matt spoke. Chuckled a little about flight school, and decided no one was going to die right now, not human or otherwise. Atticus was passive enough to accept that without any lingering worry. Was fine. Could put it out of her mind.] Keep an eye on her? Going to get PJ situated. [Could maybe sleep then. Would make for a nice change. Assumed Janus was resting, or would've heard otherwise from Steve.]
Steve's upstairs, if you want to check in. [Was a parting offer. Atticus was already on his feet, hands smoothing against his thighs, and then ambling to the door. Stopped. Turned. Glanced at the bird, then at Matt.] Thanks. Appreciate it.
[Then, hand already on his cigarette box, he walked outside to deal with the next catastrophe.]
