Spreading his wings out and leaning forward Jester coasted out of the willow's long hanging leaves.
"It's not to far from here, and we wont be long." Jester tried to console Twilla. Worrying that she still thought of her companion alone. He also was concerned that the mus wouldn't ever speak to him again, or Twilla. He agonized over it a bit as he lead Twill do his old pine.
It stood flanked by much younger trees, but Jester thought it had character so thats why he choose it. It was tall, and the first branches large enough to land on were well above the ground but not to high. Circling around it to the opposite side where his hovel entrance stood. Coming to a landing abruptly on the branch just above the entrance, gesturing with his head for Twilla to land right in front of the hole.

Twilla did land there and her thoughts were similar to the bard's. It did have character and was homey. It was not her willow, but she could not help but to admire it.
Her thoughts drifted away from the mus for a moment as she took the scene in. "It is quite lovely, Jester. You did well in staking it out. You must of had some competition for this piece of forest."

"Only a bit, I was in it with another younger Sentinel. The two of us were trying to acquire it from an aging Sentinel whom wanted to be closer to the keepers and gatherers." Jester explained puffing up a bit in pride at his little piece of real estate. He was very glad it was to Twilla's liking.
"Go ahead and take a look around inside. It's not to large but its home." Jester added with a nod.

As he suggested, she went inside.
It was small, but cozy and well kept. She bobbed her head in approval as she waddled about the inside of the three for a moment. "I can see why both the two of you and the elder sentinel wanted it. It is very comfortable."

Jester beamed at her liking of his home. He reminisced for a moment about the first day he came upon it.
Yawning slightly, as the flying earlier that had worn him out. Jester was ready to head into his tree for bed.

Twilla's sharp blue eyes picked up on Jester's small yawn and she could not help but to follow it with her own.
Yawns were contagious, after all.
"My sentiments, exactly... I should probably head home."
It had been a long night and she was still worried about the mus that was more trouble than he was worth, although she would give the world to keep the little gray creature safe.

Jester dropped down to the entrance to his home in the pine. Leaning in to Twilla rather boldly, nipping at her cheek feathers and rubbing his own against hers. A quick 'kiss goodbye' almost. "Please make sure Auze is alright. I worry that I've upset him somewhat."

"Don't worry, I will." She replied quietly, after returning the jesture.
She took a slight step backwards, then about faced and lifted into the air on her dark, silent wings. The next time Jester would see her, they would not be as dark as before, but streaked with blue.

Jester watched Twilla leave into the darkness, she didn't disappear instantly it was more of a gradual waning away. He allowed him self to sigh a bit, before fluffing his feathers in preparation for bed. His mind wandering off to different places, but content to wander.
After a few moments Jester was fast asleep in his tree, dreaming of what tomorrow would bring.

After a while of silent winging, her familiar and all too comfortable willow came into sight. She perched in the wafting brancheas and was content to sit and listen to the rush of the river for a bit.
Once she found herself ready to move inside, she called outin a soft voice.
"Auze...?"
There was no reply, but she heard a small scuffling noise in the branches above.
"Auze, I'm back... I'm going in the tree to rest, now... Be careful." She advised, then disapeared inside her nest.
She fluffed her feathers and closed her eyes, but did not fall asleep immediately. She thought of the night's events and found that she was happy, despite the mus being angry with her. While she thought, and looked for all the world like she was sleeping, Auze crept inside and curled up beside her.
Sleep was upon the duo shortly and their sleep was vivid with dreams.

Bright and early the next morning Jester woke to the sound of his tree's creaking. It was showing it's age, but still standing tall. Jester took a moment to let his eyes adjust to the new day's light before taking a step outside for a breath of the morning air.
He felt light, like he could walk across the air with out so much as a wing beat. Was this because of Twilla, he wondered to himself.

Twilla woke at sunset, before the sun had completely gone and the moon had completely risen.
Such was every evening for the young gatherer, who was very much diligent to her task.
"G'mornin', Auze." She sang cheerily to the mus, who grunted a reply as he stirred into wakefulness.

Jester was an odd Sentinel he enjoyed being awake at what seemed like off hours for a Sentinel. He wouldn't stay awake to long, but long enough to inhale the morning dew and sing a silly song to the sun before taking refuge in his tree once again.
Puffing himself up Jester inhaled and belted his song to the sun with more fervor this morning. It echoed through the trees even more the usual.
"The sun's rays in your eye,
makes me feel though I could fly,
without the single beat of a wing.
Such a love is a glorious thing!"
Jester attributed his ability to semi hold a tune this morning to the sun and to Twilla. He yawned a great yawn and went back into his tree to bed. He could hardly sleep, he couldn't wait to see Twilla again.

Twilla waited until the sun had completely set before she left her willow. She had plans before she would meet with Jester again and she could hardly wait.
"Auze, up up!" She told the mus, then nudged him with a talon. "I've got a surprise for you 'n me."
"Nnng, d'wanna..." The mus responded with a tired grunt.
"No choice, Auze. Your coming with me!" She picked the mus up with her Will, and the two left. Once this task was done, she planned on visiting Jester.

Jester turned around and yawned, just as the sun plunked down below the tree line. He was half tempted to turn back around when he remembered it WAS time to wake up now. Hopping out of his tree, he cleared his throat, opened his beak and...paused.
Blinking a few times to clear the sleep from his eyes, and glancing around. "Hrm...I could have sworn Twilla said she'd come by." He asked out loud to no one in particular. Inhaling again, he opened his beak to sing..
"Onccccccce innnnn a GRRRRRAaaate While, YOU meeeeeet a SMIIIIIIIILEEE-hurk" Jester promptly inhaled a passing bug and sputtered to swallow it.
