[The noise had been brief, but loud enough to wake her up. Which wasn't exactly a problem since she was an early riser, but still.

Explosion-noises and crazy birds shouldn't be taken lightly, damn it. She'd know.]

What in the world was that?

[Zhaneel is also a fairly early riser, so that sound didn't go unheard by the Keep's resident gryphon. She had taken to sleeping either on the wall walk, or in Aara's room with the angha .. this particular morning it had been a bit of both. She'd been restless early and risen to walk the wall and stretch her wings ..]

I do not know .. The sound arose from the woods, however, and seems to have disturbed a fair number of roosting birds ..

[missmimmi]

Oh. Perhaps a... tree fell?

[She's trying to convince herself it was something perfectly mundane and explainable.]

[bondedgryphon]

[Zhaneel shifts slightly, the sound that of rustling feathers. She's trying to be optimistic here as well, Mimmi.]

Perhaps .. [A moment and she grinds her beak.]

I heard many trees fall while living in the Peligirs .. It sounded similar enough ..

[Another pause .. can you feel the doubt, Mimmi?]

Is it wrong to doubt when so much else happens here?

[notpredictable]

I don't like it.

[Mostly because he doesn't know what it was. That was no tree.]

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Besides incredibly loud? Good question.

[missmimmi]

[Sigh]

No. It is not.

[missmimmi]

I do not like it either. I suppose now we can only wait what else will occur.

[missmimmi]

I doubt the staff here will be much help in answering it, either.

[bondedgryphon]

[Zhaneel grinds her beak lightly in response to that ..]

I was afraid of that ..

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Why would they want to do something helpful like that?

[missmimmi]

It... may not amount to much.

[Still trying to be optimistic!]

[notpredictable]

I don't particularly like that alternative, either.

[missmimmi]

Perhaps they may have a sudden change of heart.

[missmimmi]

If we are lucky it will not be anything too awful.

[And if they're NOT lucky...]

[notpredictable]

[...Excuse him while he just reads your mind or something.]

And if we're not...?

[missmimmi]

Then we prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I'll shave my beard.

[missmimmi]

[Yaaay sarcasm.]

I thought not.

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

[Isn't it fun!]

You never know. Maybe it wasn't something sinister at all.

[bondedgryphon]

[Zhaneel shifts a bit restlessly, a soft sound slipping past her beak.]

Perhaps you are correct .. I shall view the matter cautiously, however .. [And investigate it with the robot!]

[missmimmi]

I would really like to think that.

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Well you can think that all you want. The problem comes from whether you're right or not. Usually you're not.

[missmimmi]

[So says the guy who hasn't been on the elegante for over a year.]

Let us hope so.

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't need to. He spent the last six years saving Kirkwall from...pretty much everything.]

Sounds good. I'll keep hoping that I get a solid gold bathtub.

[missmimmi]

Now... that I do not think will be happening anytime soon.
