( Collette wiggles out of the nest of blankets, fluffing out her feathers briefly. )
< Brr! Can I catch a ride out? It's kind of awkward flying around in here as anything bigger than a finch. Way noticeable, too! >
( She lifts one taloned foot up, talons spread wide. It's the kind of motion many a bird in stores might use to ask about stepping up on a finger, hand, or arm of someone walking by. Wide owl eyes stay focused and unblinking on Ahiru's face. )
( Collette sets her foot gently down, making sure not to have her talons press hard enough to do more than indent skin. )
< Do they hurt right now? I'll be gentle! >
( She's careful still as she puts her slighter weight into Ahiru's hand, bringing her other foot up and holding as fast as she can while not accidentally hurting her friend. )

[She brings her hand up, taking care to keep her arm steady. She starts making for the door.]
I think you're going to need to hold my pendant once we get out there, though - with the snow and all, I'll just change back if I have it on.

< That I can handle no problem! Man, I wonder how sensitive owl feet are to the snow. Guess I'm about to find out! >
( She flares her wings as soon as they're outside, turning her beak up toward the sky. )
