You can stop this one here from freaking out for star

❰ the handwriting is legible but shaky until the next letter is simply a long trailing line down the page. ❱

emil

??

Sorry it keeps flying around. I gave up so I'm hiding behind a rock.

That big one that's about 10 meters from our tree.

❰ since that was the original post's request, after all. ❱

[skittering]

not flying away?

( if it can fly, why hasn't it left emil alone? make no mistake, lalli is absolutely headed back that way to help. it's just... weird behavior, is all. )

[enflame]

I wish. I have no idea why it's going so ballistic and in MY vicinity.

❰ the extent of its abilities is also a mystery to him. he can hear the screech of it as well as the wingflaps, and there's a pattern of flight with a showering of dirt and debris throughout the air. fire, windstorms...can one animal here not be weird? ❱

[skittering]

probably thinks you're an awful mother

( which makes sense, since emil is neither a mother nor an owl at all. )

[enflame]

I didn't sign up to be an owl parent so it has no right to be upset at me.

❰ which is actually irritating despite him having no horse in the race of a strange owl's opinion of him. ❱

[skittering]

doesn't care

( he's still on his way, don't worry - he just figures that part is understood and he doesn't need to repeat it )

[enflame]

I don't ACTUALLY expect it to. The thing is just irritating.

And also close by again, I can hear it screeching.

❰ perhaps he should be keeping eyes on this target, of sorts, but he only has one set of eyes that are needed to write legibly. ❱
