did your medical degree cover birds

Eilwen gave a little chuckle and nodded at the young raptor’s question over Corbin’s “fancy” eyes. “He certainly thinks so at least. After the Long Night he developed this gemstone like sparkle to his eyes and can see farther than ever… Pretentious little thing.” Gwynevere chuckled and gave a little shake of her head at her companion while she continued her exam. “Corbin and Eilwen have never liked each other very much,” she told Zephyrus quietly, letting him in on the joke and the drama. “Artorias and I grew up with them around and they’ve always bickered.” Eilwen scoffed, giving an offended little ruffle of her feathers as she added, ”Well if Corbin wasn’t such an uptight know it all then we wouldn’t have this problem!” Gwyn gave Zeph a look that just said “see?” and moved on with her exam with a smirk.

Gwyn was glad to hear that there was no pains or aches to worry about. She had seen a couple little spots that looked like healing scratches when she was shifting his feathers around, but they seemed to be sealing up just fine on their own. When Zephyrus asked if he was a good raptor she couldn’t help but smile. They hadn’t really had any pups or young creatures around the castle since the litters that were born around the same time as her were the last ones to have been in The Hallows since her mother had decided to raise her newest litter in the wilds. She didn’t really know what to expect, but Zeph was really quite adorable. “Of course. You’re a very good raptor. These are some very sharp talons!” she insisted and Eilwen nodded from her perch on Gwyn’s shoulder, confirming the fact. ”The finest raptor I’ve ever seen!” Perhaps Eilwen was hamming it up a bit for the youngling’s sake, but she didn’t see any harm in that!
