"Eh. Suit yourself." He picks at his teeth.
--
"I'll be fine."
--
The bird stares hard at him for a moment, then continues down the hall as if Thomas was a coat rack. It taps on another door.

"I shall."
---
"Are you sure?"
---
Thomas finds this very interesting and creeps into the hall to follow the crow.
And Lindsey spots the parade! "Master Thomas. You should probably return to your room."

Russ grins.
--
"Yes."

Strut strut strut.

"Would you like me to clean your plate now?"
---
"..Okay."
---
Thomas glances back at Lindsey. "Why?"
"The bird could be anything."
Another door opens. This time it is good ole Richard Sr. When he spots a bird, his son, and a house elf, he frowns. "What's going on out here?"

"I can do it."
--
"Besides, I don't want to get up."
--
The bird stops and stares at Richard Sr in the same way it would stare at a blue moose. Then it keeps walking. It grumbles quietly.

"Are you certain?"
---
Small smile.
---
Tom points at the bird. "There's a bird."
"I'm taking care of it."
Richard Sr starts to grumble and shut the door then pauses. He steps into the hall and points the other way. "Tom, back into your room."

"I'm pretty certain I can handle washing a plate."
--
"Do you need to lie down?"
--
Caw. It turns around to look at the little parade.

"No insult was meant, sir. I am here to help."
---
"...I am tired."
---
Tom frowns. "Why?"
"Just go. Don't disobey me."

"I know, I know." He takes his plate to the sink.
--
"Can you make it up to the bedroom?"
--
The bird ruffles its feathers and pecks at a nail in the wall. Then it remembers what it was doing and turns to rap on another door.

Bradley follows.
---
"I think so."
---
Lindsey tries to tiptoe behind up and stab it.
Tom cringes at the sight then slinks back to his room. "Yes, father."

Russ thinks that is weird. He scrubs the plate!
--
"Okay. Come on." She stands.
--
The bird thinks that is very rude of Lindsey. It flaps around the hallway, banging into the walls and making a fuss.

Bradley waits to clean everything else.
---
He stands as well.
---
This brings out Mrs. Darrow! "What's going on?"
Richard Sr. grasps her shoulders and turns her around. "Just a bird. We're taking care of it."
Lindsey stabs again.

He dries the plate off and puts it away.
--
She takes his hand and leads him to the bedroom.
--
The crow lands and ruffles its feathers at Lindsey. It scolds him for being so rude.

Bradley starts to clean everything else.
---
Richard is led.
---
"Why is there a bird?"
"Just go back, Marilla."
Lindsey gives the bird Evil Eyes!

"Thanks for the food." Russ waves.
--
To the bedroom! She pulls the blankets back.
--
The bird stares back with its crazy little bird eyes.
