"Who's there?" a monotone voice cut through the air.
"'Nay, answer me,'" quoted Duo as he ducked around a large black tree. "Hiya, Trowa. What's been -- What is that on your shoulder?"
Trowa spared a glance at the appendage in question as he put his wand away. "You tell me, Duo."
"Why the heck do you have an owl on your shoulder?" Duo demanded, leaning in to get a better look.
"It was hurt," Trowa said vaguely.
"Actually, it should be useful," Heero said, following Duo around the tree. "My laptop will not function on the school grounds. If necessary, we'll use the owl to communicate with the doctors."

"The owl could send messages," Trowa suggested softly, but Wufei shook his head.
