Since that strange night, Charles has been an owl. He hasn't seen anyone he knows and has been enjoying flying around outside but he wants to get back to himself. This is awkward and his feathers require a lot of work.

Today he is perched on the back of a chair with a newspaper laid out on the table and a small bowl of nuts. He refuses to eat a mouse or bird even if some of them do look tasty.

Tiny tag: Palamedes
(OOC: Open all weekend. Charles will be speaking telepathically into your pup's head if he decides to talk to them. If they have mental shields, let me know, as he's sort of listening, just not as much as usual. Being an owl is distracting. Also ignore the rather large timestamp from one thread to the other, its been my first week of work. Thank you.)

The bird is beginning to expand. Erik finds his back tensing up at that fact, but he says nothing. It is hard to take his eyes off of the thing, however, and he finds himself staring at the owl with a great deal of curiosity mixed in with his wariness.

After ten minutes and a drink, Erik turns to find that the bird is still there and bears an odd sort of pattern to its feathers. He's not entirely sure, but he wants to believe there's a sort of familiarity there. Odd, but he can't put his finger on it.

The owl is staring at him.

Erik feels slightly discomfited and regards the bird back with a curious look, half-challenging, and he can't help himself -- there's a part of him that wants to know why on earth this is happening to him, of all things.

"Charles?" Erik stammers, aloud, the shock too great for him to truly practice discretion. He scoffs, staring at the bird, and moves closer to it, gaping at him in sheer disbelief. "I don't...what...?"

Yes, I'd hope so, otherwise you're secretly an owl for part of your life, Erik thinks with no small amount of sarcasm. He cocks his head to the side and holds out his fingers. Come here.

Erik does as he's instructed, though now he's beginning to worry about what sort of damage that Charles' claws might do to him. Still, it's best to trust. Wrist out, he waits, expectantly.

"You're an owl, Charles, you're hardly any weight at all," is Erik's dubious retort, shooting him a sharp look of disbelief. "I wonder if there's any metal composition to your claws," he muses, mostly to himself.

Erik focuses, but he's never had to work with the elements of a bird before. "Only the remnants of other metallic objects, I'd think," he admits, but it could be the bar surrounding him that's throwing off his sense of perception. "How will you get back?"

"Not that you aren't precious in this form," Erik notes with a smug smirk on his face, ruffling Charles' feathers (quite literally) as he has the opportunity to do so.

"Well, I won't mince words when precious is the best one that fits," he notes, arching a brow when Charles positions his owl's body into something that seems to give him a small degree of pleasure. "Enjoying this, are you?" he asks, faintly amused.

"Nice," Erik notes with a bemused smile, shaking his head as he gives Charles one more slow scratch, deliberately trying to (pardon his pun) ruffle his feathers.

He does scratch to the left, but his fingers lighten their touch. After all, he must remember that this is Charles and this is possibly inappropriate and too much. "How long do you expect it will take before you're yourself again?"
