At the sound of wings, Nycretie looked out of her hollow. Spotting a Snowy Owl she hissed. "Oh great another clingy, owl. Would you go away! This is my hollow." Nycretie angrily spat and stepped out of the hollow. Puffing her feathers out she furiously glared.
Celeste stood her ground on the branch and fluffed up her breast feathers and opened her wings, shaking them once.
"I shall leave, now. I am only trying to find somewhere to shelter, and I do not know these forests well. Goodbye, and have a nice day." the snowy owl replied nonchalantly, and swooped through the delicate branches.
Nycretie snorted and rolled her narrowed, amber eyes. It seemed to her that the owls who lived in these forests were not exactly the smartest. Flattening her silky, tawny feathers, the Barn Owl turned around and slipped back into her hollow. Her bright amber eyes still peered out to see if any other owl dared come too close.
Celeste went off into the forest and swiftly glided along the currents in the air, when she saw a movement under the dark, earthy soil.
The owl became alert, and used her senses to detect what the source of the movement was. It turned out to be 3 plump field mice burrowing in the earth. Celeste snatched them up and killed each rodent with a swipe of her dagger-like talons, ripping out their throat.
Then she thought of the cranky barn owl. This would please her, maybe it would lighten her mood. Celeste gripped three dead mice in her talons and flapped towards the barn owl's tree. Luckily, there was a hollow in Nycretie's tree where she could place her catch.
The bird went back to find a blue stone, and discovered a lake a few miles away from the weeping willow. Instead of a stone, she found a piece of blue sea glass... unusual, but she decided to ignore that fact, and it was luckily an acorn-sized piece. Holding her work in her beak and talons, she flew towards Nycretie's tree and dropped two mice in the edge of the hollow. Then she carefully placed the sea glass nearby, as to let Nycretie know that it was her, Celeste, that gave her the two mice... resembling her azure eyes.
{ Nycretie } ~ Female ♀ ~ Barn Owl ~ │ Her eyes swiveled to watch as the Snwoy Owl came back several times. If she came back again Nycretie would force her out with talons. Snorting she leapt out of the hollow and onto the branch. Pacing back and forth she wondered what the snowy owl as even doing after Nycretie had told her to leave. Spreading her iwngs she arose off the branch and circled the tree to see what the other owl had done.
"Oh, hi, Lilly. Just a sec, I'll be right with you." Celeste replied hastily. She dropped the stone with the mice and flew to the other owl to greet her.
