a bit of audio/action.

[audio]
[There is not a lot to the audio from Maiza today. Nobody is talking, but there is definitely something there, and that something is definitely attacking the journal. It hits it, sharply, then shoves it across -- judging from the sound of leaves and dirt dislodged by the moving journal -- the forest floor. It's followed by the rustle of wings close by the book, and some more scratching as the journal moves again.

The wings make noise again, although this time it sounds like it's flying. Clumsily so, one might note. The entry ends with the sound of wind blowing past and a loud thud as the journal hits the forest floor. Whatever bird was carrying Maiza's journal, it couldn't keep its grip.]


[action later on #1; the fountain]
[A couple hours after the entry, there is a brown owl sitting on the fountain in the village. He looks exhausted as he slumps on the journal he's got with him and hoots miserably at whoever passes by. Sometimes he spreads out his wings and rustles it to try to get attention, especially at people who Maiza Avaro may recognize. He's hungry. He's tired. Please help.]

[action #2; community house 7, floor 5 room 23]
[It's later in the afternoon, closer to evening, when an owl smacks into the window. It might have looked like it was trying to headbutt its way through the glass, but it's hard to tell. It disappears for a minute and returns to the window again, flying a little less steadily and now with a journal clasped in its talons. It stays at the window hoping someone will open it.]
reminded: (That's right.)

[He's the victim here, okay. Don't b blamin'. Layton ducks under a low branch, and in so doing arrives at the edge of the plaza.]

Her name is Nephry. Nephry Osborne. She seems like an intelligent woman.

I'll... I guess I'll take that as a yes? But how'd they even-?

[He should be relieved to finally see Maiza again, he's just too confused to show it. But he doesn't want to make Maiza feel bad--if the owl really is him--so he tries to pat the owl on the head and force a smile.]

If it really is you, I'm glad you're okay--er, well. Still in one piece.

[He'll take those for positive hoots.]

You know her, do you? Small village. But I suppose we older folk are bound to notice each other at some point or another. [Sometimes the demographics make him feel like he's back at Gressenheller.]

[Firo smiles at Maiza as he adjusts his perch. His movements don't seem too distressed, so Firo takes that as a good sign; if anyone can stay unruffled in a situation like this, it would be Maiza. It's something of a relief as he struggles to hide his anger that the Malnosso would mess with his friend like this.]

Can you stay on like that?
reminded: (That's right.)

[He chuckles softly as they head into the grocery store. He aims for the meat section, slowing only to look thoughtfully at an assortment of brooms lining one aisle. Such an interesting set of brooms...]

[....Aw. Tsuzuki bumps his cheek against his wing.]

I know of someplace warm, so you won't be cold for long.

Is your family around here somewhere?

[He has his hand ready to steady Maiza if he falls, but it looks like he's in place. Firo really wouldn't care if Maiza's talons did tear it; he has priorities, and taking care of family is the first one.]

So, uh, where to?

[Does he need food? What do owls even eat?]
reminded: (I think I'm beginning to see...)

[Layton stops completely now to scrutinize the brooms, trying to think of a place where he might be able to put one. The flat already has one, after all, but he just can't pass this particular broom up...

Can Maiza spot the broom that has caught Professor Layton's interest?]

[Czes moves aside just in time when the bird comes in and--

It's.

On his head.

He blinks for a moment then starts to flail his arms at the owl that's on top of his head to try and get it off.]
Get off of me!! [Sorry Maiza he has no idea it's you]
immamartillo: (Creepy)

[He can tell that it's an attempt to answer him, but not exactly what Maiza means. It's Firo's fault for asking an open-ended question when he knows fulls well the owl can't respond in a language Firo can understand.

He scratches his head, then speaks slowly, giving time between each word to let Maiza react. Maybe that'll help.

Umm... Home? Food? Water? The clinic?

[The plurk is wise. After that moment of thought, Layton picks out the small dotted broom, whose question mark handle reminds him quite charmingly of puzzles in general. He could use it around his desk at the school.

With that out of the way, he continues on to the meat section with hardly an explanation.]
reminded: (tip of the hat)

[Layton looks down at that. He'll assume the pecking is an inquiry and not a sudden perplexity over the material of a broom.]

For my office at the school. A gentleman must always keep his space presentable. [Even he keeps a minimum level of tidiness.]
