Setting: Manor Grounds
Status: Semi-Private (Uriel and Luna -- Complete)
Summary: Challenge thread. Luna encounters a special bird.

Flying, Uriel had noticed, served as a good way to take out his frustrations. Still pained about his loss of Pestilence, it felt good to be able to concentrate on merely flying, the motions of wings and feathers taking his attention away from his grief. He also didn't want to face anybody right now, and not assuming a human form seemed like a good way to avoid anyone. Of course, Wednesday probably would start talking to any raven he encountered, but he could easily stay clear of his brother.

Of course, he wasn't completely alone. Horus was there most of the time, not asking what was wrong and why he was in a bird form, just flying with him like it had been the most natural thing in the world. It felt good to be able to just fly with someone without needing to explain himself or his emotions.

It still hurt so very badly, though.

Circling a bit closer to the ground, he was sorely tempted to croak, "Nevermore!" However, he didn't do that. He didn't want to talk. At all.

He would not talk.

Threaded | Flat

Luna needed to get a breath of fresh air after working in the musty library for so long. She walked past the reception desk, nodding at the blonde man who was, well, manning the desk, and into the Manor grounds.

Flopping herself down on the ground, she watched the clouds go by for a bit before noticing a raven wheeling above her. She didn't know why, but it seemed sorrowful. And familiar? Standing up and shielding her eyes from the sun, she felt that she knew this bird somehow. Or at least seen him before, somewhere.

Upon closer examination, the raven reminded her of those creatures... Demons? No. Angels! That was it. The feel of him reminded her of an angel. Hmm.

"Hello?" she called up to the raven.
