Dewdrop Ghoul || Owl Care

That thing is not staying in your room. Unless it makes you happy. Then he might reconsider. Dewdrop has never been very good at saying no to his mate. When his partner brings home an injured owl caught in barbed wire, their established relationship is tested by this unexpected houseguest. While Dewdrop would prefer the winged creature fly away, his mate's compassionate nature makes it impossible to refuse temporary sanctuary to the injured animal.

There was a fucking bird in their room. Now, it wasn't that Dewdrop disliked the winged creatures. He just liked them a whole lot better when they were outdoors, flying around, away from him. And not swathed in his blanket like a baby.

He'd never been very good at saying no to his mate though. His partner had always had an affinity for taking care of what was smaller than him. Or in some cases, larger than him. He had no doubt that if his mate somehow stumbled across an injured elephant, he'd find some way to let it stay the night in their room. "It's an owl, it can just fly off."

Apparently stating the obvious wasn't enough in this case. His mate had found the poor critter caught in some barbed wire lining a fence, probably caught in some hunting mishap. He felt bad for the thing, he really did, but did it need to be so close to his bed? Either way, its wing was hurt. Just a few light scratches that had pulled out some feathers, leaving an unsightly bald patch, once they grew back, things should start working smoothly again. It would've been a different story if it had broken something.

His mate seemed adamant that it wouldn't be able to hunt for itself. He had a point. It was hardly going to be a soundless, swooping predator in the night if it couldn't fly. So of course that meant they had to keep it. Never mind calling some bird care charity to the Ministry's doorstep to take it away, his mate seemed determined to be the one to nurse their little friend back to full health again.

With a long suffering sigh, Dewdrop folded his arms over his chest, his tail lashing impatiently around his legs. He'd stationed himself on the opposite side of the room, definitely to give the bird some space, and definitely not because he was a little frightened of fluttery things that were on the unpredictable side. Still, it seemed quite content in his mate's swaddled embrace, blinking those big eyes slowly. "What the fuck does an owl even eat anyway?" He grumbled, as though raising his voice too loudly would upset their impromptu guest. "I'm not being the one to find it some mice or whatever it wants."
