learn a thing or two

Odette wasn’t afraid of heights, how could she be when her wings helped her to fall so gracefully? She loved climbing trees and finding high places, not unlike the cats she so closely resembled. Ignita said that she understood what Ode was doing, but her voice betrayed her. Her teacher knew very well that Odette was just enjoying the sun, but Aunty Ig baited her further. Study wind patterns, which really Ode wouldn’t have minded, or something ‘fun’ with her tree.

"Fun you say?" She asked as her fur tipped ears swiveled to give her whole attention to her aunt and teacher. Like Ignita read her mind she found a discarded rope and aimed to lasso the top of the palm. Then she sent Odette up to make sure it was tight. Of course, Odette climbed the palm as if she were indeed a monkey. "Yes, ma’am!" She said as she was already half way up the tree. Her leopard like claws sinking into the bark as she reached the summer and tightened the rope before returning. "Now what?"
