Reflection 73

[Action/Voice Post]

*Rue had been coming down from the owlery, holding her cat Odile in her arms and looking a bit exasperated. The cat couldn't get into the tower, as she had enchanted it to keep her pet from getting in to see Fakir's winged pet Lohengrin, but Odile had wandered out of the Slytherin common room so she could pace around the entrance

Trying to get up from the dungeons, the SAFEST place from the dragons, to the Owlery, one of the least safe places at the top of the school, was no small feat. It meant dodging prefects left and right, and Yukimi was sure to chew him out later, but Fakir wasn't the kind of person to let someone else get his sister if HE could, dumb as she was to be milling around the owlery when dragons were about.
He hadn't wanted to bring Ahiru AT ALL, since he was worried about her enough as is, but she'd insisted, hence both of them heading towards Rue amidst the destruction. They were trekking up the stairs when he heard her cry.

"Rue!" He quickened his pace toward the feather strewn area.

[ooc: Lawl, so Ahiru's with him. Manda's asleep right now, though, so I opted to just start the action tagging.]

Rue struggled to try and get to her feet, shakily keeping her grip on Odile while holding her bag in her other hand, trying to scare the remainder of the owls down the stairs. Several of them screeched angrily as they took off; one was even mean enough to slash rather sharply at her arm. Crying out again, Rue clutched at her arm, Odile yowling fearfully from her other shoulder. Feathers were everywhere, enough so that Rue could barely see anything, not even the birds as she tried to scare them from their roosts, meaning many of them slammed into her or their claws just barely missed her. And as reality seemed to blur, Rue vainly tried to make sense of it, even while lost in this sea of feathers. Feathers--claws-- She never made the connection as to when the feathers appeared almost black, or the hoots became caws, or what...but soon she was blindly hitting around, barely knowing why, blinding by feathers and dust.

((That's okay. XD I'll probably be gone for several hours myself here, but I will try to jet back as fast as I can to

Ahiru stumbled after the dark-haired Slytherin, determined to keep up and help in any way she could. Upon hearing Rue's cry - which was then shortly followed by a second one, she urged her feet to go even faster, leveling her pace with Fakir's.

"We're coming, Rue!" she called out and then bit her lip down in worry, running up the last of the stairs as quickly as she possibly could.

'Please let Rue be alright!'

He reached the door of the owlery with Ahiru right behind him, and was startled by the owls milling around almost furiously.

"What the hell is..."

Directing his attention back to finding Rue amidst the flurry of feathers, he tried to make out the form of his sister. "Rue? Where are you, dammit?!"
