It was a rather fetching short eared owl, and Luce thought that it might make a lovely gift in celebration of the litter.
"You're looking quite fine today. How are you holding up? Your little pet came to me concerned for your morning sickness; I had my doubts at first, but she's become quite the suitable companion for you," Lucretia said, stepping closer to her sister and revealing the sleepy owl.

Less of a chance of the bird startling and breaking the splint, which would require yet another exhausting procedure. She really had to track down one of those handy creatures... "This poor thing was being teased by some young foxes after being grounded with an injured wing, so I brought it inside," she gestured to the owl, then focused on Belle to judge her reaction. "Beautiful, isn't it?"
